Bottega VenetaCassette Card Holder

Q: How many cards does the Cassette card holder fit?
A: This variant has three external card slots plus one central compartment. In daily use it comfortably holds 4–6 cards; the leather will gently mould with use, so we advise against overfilling to maintain its shape.

Q: Can it hold banknotes or receipts?
A: Yes. The central compartment is ideal for folded notes and receipts. Most currencies, including pounds, fit when folded once; for best results avoid stuffing bulky items to keep the profile slim.

Q: What are the measurements and will it fit a front pocket?
A: Approx. 11 × 7.5 × 0.5 cm. It’s a very slim profile designed to slip easily into a front trouser pocket or a small bag without adding bulk.

Q: What is the leather and why is Intrecciato special?
A: It’s crafted in Italy from Bottega Veneta’s signature Intrecciato leather with a leather lining. The woven construction, developed by the house in the 1970s, is known for its durability and refined finish.

Q: Does this card holder have RFID‑blocking?
A: Bottega Veneta does not advertise RFID‑blocking for its card holders, and major retailers do not list RFID shielding for this style. If RFID protection is essential, we recommend using a slim RFID sleeve inside the central compartment.

Q: How should I care for the leather?
A: Wipe with a soft, dry cloth after use and keep it away from liquids, creams, oils, make‑up, perfumes, direct sunlight, heat and abrasive surfaces. Store it in a breathable pouch or the original box in a cool, dry place, and avoid overstuffing to minimise stretching of the slots.

Q: Is there a zipped version, and how does it differ?
A: Yes, Bottega Veneta offers Cassette zippered card cases. Those add a zip compartment and may include extra slots, making them slightly bulkier than this minimalist open‑top version with three slots and a central pocket.

Q: Does it have a serial number or chip?
A: Bottega Veneta pieces typically do not display a visible serial number. Some recent items may include an NFC microchip or digital ID for brand verification; this is separate from RFID‑blocking and does not affect functionality. For this pre‑owned piece, the Serial Number field is not listed, and our team has already verified its authenticity through materials, construction and stamps.

Q: What is included in the product information for this item?
A: This piece comes with the branded box as listed under product information. If an item such as a dust bag or care booklet is not listed there, it is not included.

Q: How do you authenticate this item?
A: Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously checked by our in‑house experts using multi‑point inspections of leather, weave, stitching, hardware, stamps and overall construction. We stand behind the authenticity of everything we sell and can share additional photos or details on request.
