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 clutch? A: With approximate measurements of 23 × 13.5 × 4 cm, it comfortably holds a large smartphone, a slim wallet or cardholder, keys, lipstick and small essentials. The internal and external zip pockets are useful for valuables and travel cards.
Q: Is the wristlet strap detachable? A: Yes. This piece includes a detachable wristlet strap so you can carry it by hand as a classic clutch or loop it around the wrist for hands-free ease.
Q: Will it fit a large smartphone or a passport? A: Yes. Most large smartphones and a standard passport fit flat inside, with room for a few small extras. As device sizes vary, we recommend comparing your item’s dimensions with the measurements listed here.
Q: Can it be worn on the shoulder or crossbody? A: No. This model is designed for handheld or wrist carry only and does not include a shoulder strap or fittings for one.
Q: How secure is the closure? A: The flap with press-stud closure keeps the main compartment closed, while the zipped pockets add extra security for small items. Avoid overfilling to ensure the stud fastens cleanly.
Q: What is Intrecciato leather and why is it special? A: Intrecciato is Bottega Veneta’s hand-woven leather technique, introduced in the 1970s. The weave reinforces supple leather and creates the brand’s signature, understated texture prized for its craftsmanship and durability.
Q: How should I care for the Intrecciato leather on this vintage piece? A: Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth after use, keep away from moisture and direct heat, and avoid abrasive surfaces. Do not overstuff, as tension can distort the weave. Store lightly padded in a breathable dust bag to help maintain shape. Dark denim and saturated fabrics may transfer colour onto leather and vice versa; take care with contact. For deeper cleaning or restoration, consult a professional leather specialist.
Q: Does this bag have a serial or identification tag? A: Many Bottega Veneta bags feature a small fabric or paper-like tag sewn into a lining seam or pocket; the logo and Made in Italy are usually on one side with numbers on the reverse. Formats have varied over the years and some vintage items may lack a readable tag. For this listing, no serial number is recorded. Regardless, every item at A Retro Tale is thoroughly authenticated by our in-house experts.
Q: Are any accessories included? A: This item is sold without accessories unless specifically listed. For this piece, no accessories are included.
Q: What is the colour and where was it made? A: The colour is navy with silver-tone hardware, and the country of origin label states Italy.
