Bottega Veneta Intrecciato Kisslock Coin Purse

Q: What typically fits inside the Intrecciato Kisslock Coin Purse?
A: With approximate measurements of 11 × 9 × 2 cm, it comfortably holds coins, folded notes, a few cards (around 2–4), a key and small essentials like a lip balm. It is not sized for smartphones. Capacity depends on how you pack; please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.

Q: Is the kisslock closure secure for daily use?
A: Kisslock frames use a firm metal clasp that snaps shut when properly aligned, offering reliable security for coins and small items. To keep it secure, avoid overfilling and close it fully before use. As with many vintage frames, long-term heavy use can lead to minor loosening; a specialist may be able to adjust the frame, though outcomes vary.

Q: Will the clasp or hardware affect my bank cards?
A: The kisslock is a mechanical (non‑magnetic) clasp, so it will not interfere with modern chip cards. As a general rule, keep cards away from strong external magnets and store them in dedicated slots to protect the magnetic stripe on older cards.

Q: How should I care for the metallic Intrecciato leather?
A: Handle with care and avoid contact with liquids, creams, oils, make‑up and perfumes. Keep away from direct sunlight, heat and abrasive surfaces. Metallic finishes can show surface scuffs from friction, so rotate use and store separately to minimise rubbing. Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth and consult a luxury leather specialist for deeper care.

Q: Any tips for cleaning the fabric lining?
A: Empty the purse and shake out loose debris. For light marks, dab (do not rub) with a barely damp, lint‑free cloth. Avoid soaking the fabric or using harsh solvents. For persistent stains, seek a professional cleaner experienced with luxury small leather goods.
