Q: How should I care for Intrecciato leather?
A: Intrecciato leather is best cared for gently. Wipe it with a soft dry or slightly damp cloth, avoid overfilling the bag, and keep it away from prolonged moisture, direct heat, and strong sunlight. It is also wise to avoid dark denim or rough surfaces that may cause colour transfer or rubbing on the woven leather.

Q: Is Intrecciato leather durable enough for regular use?
A: Yes, Bottega Veneta’s woven leather is admired for its craftsmanship and can wear very well with mindful use. As with most soft luxury leather bags, it is best to avoid heavy loads, repeated friction at the corners, and wet conditions in order to help preserve the weave and shape over time.
