Q: What typically fits inside the Bottega Veneta Small Foulard Arco Bag?
A: With approximate measurements of 34 × 20 × 12 cm, it is well suited to daily essentials such as a phone, long wallet, keys, sunglasses, a small cosmetics pouch and a compact notebook or paperback. Capacity can vary slightly depending on how you pack and the soft structure of the bag, so please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.

Q: Can this bag be worn on the shoulder?
A: This style is primarily designed as a top-handle bag. The handle drop is approximately 16 cm, so some people may be able to carry it over the shoulder with lighter clothing, but it is generally best carried in the hand or on the arm.

Q: Does the bag close fully?
A: The Small Foulard Arco features a leather tie closure at the top. It helps keep the open-top silhouette neater and more secure, but it is not a full zip-top design.

Q: Is there an internal pouch?
A: Yes. This item includes a detachable zipped pouch, which is useful for organising smaller essentials such as cards, keys or cosmetics.

Q: What material and colour is this bag?
A: This piece is crafted in beige leather with a tonal leather lining and is made in Italy. The woven construction and softly structured shape are signature details of the Arco line.

Q: What is the condition of this item?
A: The overall condition is rated Very Good. There are light traces of use to the exterior and interior, and the hardware remains shiny with light surface scratches.

Q: What is included with the bag?

Q: How should I care for this bag?
