Q: Will it fit a 16-inch laptop such as a MacBook Pro?
A: With approximate measurements of 34 × 23 × 2 cm, this case is smaller than most 16‑inch laptops. For example, a current 16‑inch MacBook Pro is about 35.6 × 24.8 × 1.7 cm, so it will not fit. This case is better suited to slim devices and tablets measuring under roughly 33 × 22 × 1.5 cm; please compare your device to the Measurements provided on this page.

Q: How do I check if my device will fit?
A: Measure the width, height and thickness of your device and allow a small clearance (around 0.5–1 cm) on each side for ease. Screen size alone is not reliable because different laptops with the same advertised screen size can have very different body dimensions.

Q: Is the case padded or rigid?
A: It is a slim leather case with fabric lining and a top zip. It offers surface protection against scuffs but it is not a hard shell or shock‑absorbent sleeve. For extra impact protection, consider using a thin protective cover on your device.

Q: What is Intrecciato leather?
A: Intrecciato is Bottega Veneta’s signature hand‑woven leather technique that creates a distinctive, supple finish. As with any woven leather, avoid abrasion and sharp edges to prevent rubbing or snagging of the weave.

Q: How should I care for this piece?
A: Dust with a soft, dry cloth and store it loosely filled to help it keep its shape. Keep away from water, oils, solvents and prolonged direct sunlight. If conditioning is needed, use a quality leather product very sparingly and test on an inconspicuous area first, or seek professional leather care.

Q: Will the colour rub off on clothing?
A: Any smooth, dyed leather can be susceptible to colour transfer when rubbed against light fabrics and vice versa. Avoid prolonged contact with dark denim or abrasive materials, especially in humid or wet conditions.

Q: Does it come with a strap?
A: Yes, this example includes a detachable wristlet strap for hand carry.
