Ideal for city days or evening plans, it adds a rich pop of colour to both relaxed and polished looks.
Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.
Q: What typically fits inside this Bottega Veneta Medium Intrecciato Hobo Shoulder Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 46 x 30 x 4 cm, it is well suited to daily essentials such as a phone, long wallet, keys, sunglasses, a cosmetics pouch and other flat items. It can also take slimmer extras like a tablet or documents, but the soft hobo shape and zip opening make it less suitable for bulky loads.
Q: Can I wear it comfortably on the shoulder? A: Yes. This style is designed as a shoulder bag and this piece has a single strap with an approximate drop of 22 cm. On heavier winter coats it may sit a little closer under the arm, so we recommend comparing the strap drop with a bag you already enjoy carrying.
Q: Does it fit a laptop or A4 documents? A: A4 papers and slim tablets are usually fine, and some smaller laptops may fit depending on their exact dimensions. Because hobo bags have a curved top and a narrower zip opening than a tote, please compare your device to the listed measurements before buying.
Q: How secure is the closure? A: The bag fastens with a top zip closure, which helps keep belongings secure in daily use. Inside, there is one internal zip pocket for smaller valuables.
Q: What is Intrecciato? A: Intrecciato is Bottega Veneta’s signature woven leather technique. It is one of the house’s most recognisable hallmarks and gives the bag its soft, luxurious texture and understated look.
Q: Will the bag soften or slouch more with use? A: Yes. Veneta hobo styles are known for developing a softer drape over time, which is part of their appeal. This pre-owned piece already shows light traces of use, and gentle wear may continue to relax the shape further.
Q: How should I care for the leather and lining? A: Store it lightly stuffed in a breathable dust bag, keep it away from prolonged heat and rain, and avoid rubbing it against rough or dark fabrics that may mark the weave or lining. For deeper cleaning, especially on suede-lined pieces, a specialist leather cleaner is the safest option.
Q: What condition is this specific bag in? A: It is listed in Very Good condition. The exterior shows a light trace of use, the interior also shows light use with some staining noted inside, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches.
Q: What is included with this bag? A: No additional inclusions are noted for this item. Everything that comes with it is listed in the product information on this page.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is checked by specialists using detailed assessments of materials, craftsmanship, hardware, stamps and overall construction, so you can shop vintage with confidence.
