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 Intrecciato Hobo? A: With approximate measurements of 30 × 28 × 6 cm, it’s ideal for everyday essentials: large smartphone, compact or continental wallet, keys, slim sunglasses in a soft case, small cosmetics pouch and an A5 diary. A compact tablet (e.g., iPad mini/11-inch class without a bulky case) usually fits; a 13-inch laptop generally does not due to the curved hobo opening. For certainty, compare your device’s dimensions with our Measurements or ask us for a tailored fit check for this exact piece.
Q: Can I wear it cross‑body? A: This piece has a single shoulder strap with an approximate drop of 11 cm. It’s designed for hand, crook‑of‑arm and a snug shoulder carry on some wearers; it is not intended for cross‑body wear. If you’d like on‑body photos or advice for your height and frame, just ask and we’ll help.
Q: How secure is the closure and what is the interior layout? A: Classic Intrecciato hobos typically feature a zip‑top main compartment for day‑to‑day security. This item has a brown suede lining with one internal zipped pocket. Our listing photos show the exact configuration of this piece.
Q: What is Bottega Veneta’s Intrecciato leather and how durable is it? A: Intrecciato is the house’s signature hand‑woven leather technique. It’s supple yet strong and develops a graceful drape with use. Minor lifting at the edges of some woven strips can occur over time—this is normal ageing rather than a defect. Avoid abrasive surfaces and overloading to preserve the weave and silhouette.
Q: How should I care for the woven leather and suede lining? A: Wipe the exterior gently with a soft, dry cloth; use a high‑quality neutral leather conditioner very sparingly and only after testing on a discreet area. Keep away from moisture, oils and prolonged sunlight, and be mindful of colour transfer from dark denim. For the suede lining, use a dry suede brush or lint roller; treat small marks with a suede eraser. If lightly wet, blot (do not rub) and allow to air‑dry away from heat. Store the bag upright, lightly stuffed, in a breathable dust bag.
Q: Will the strap and body soften with wear? A: Yes. The leather typically relaxes with regular use, giving a softer drape and often a more comfortable shoulder fit. We don’t recommend aggressive stretching methods—gentle, consistent use is best. Avoid carrying very heavy items to protect the weave and stitching.
Q: Is the classic Veneta/Intrecciato Hobo still produced? A: The long‑running Veneta hobo has largely been discontinued. Contemporary collections feature successors such as the Hop and Jodie, which carry forward the woven aesthetic in updated silhouettes. The pre‑loved market is the best source for vintage colours and configurations like this one.
Q: Where are the brand markings and codes located, and how is dating handled? A: Authentic Bottega Veneta bags typically have an interior leather patch heat‑stamped “BOTTEGA VENETA – MADE IN ITALY.” Many pieces (varies by era) also include a narrow, paper‑like serial/production tag sewn into the lining; placement and format differ by model and year. We’re happy to share close‑ups and help date this specific piece on request.
Q: Can Bottega Veneta repair or service this bag? A: Repairs and aftercare are available through Bottega Veneta boutiques subject to assessment, parts availability and the bag’s age. Independent luxury leather specialists can also offer cleaning and restoration for vintage pieces. We’re happy to advise on typical options and help you prepare for a boutique assessment.
Q: What accessories are included with this item? A: For this listing we include: mirror and brand booklet. If an accessory isn’t mentioned under “Accessories,” it isn’t included—feel free to contact us for confirmation.
