Delivery & Returns
Q: What typically fits inside the Bottega Veneta Intrecciato Small Bulb Bag? A: With approximate dimensions of 26 × 18 × 8 cm, it comfortably carries essentials such as a large smartphone, compact wallet or cardholder, keys, slim sunglasses in a soft case, and a small cosmetics pouch or passport. A5 notebooks fit; A4 documents and most 11‑inch tablets do not. An iPad mini may fit without a bulky case but will be snug due to the curved, drawstring opening. Compare your items to the Measurements here or ask us for a tailored fit check for this exact piece.
Q: Can I wear it on the shoulder or crossbody? A: This piece features a single top handle with an approximate drop of 18 cm (as listed under Measurements), making it ideal for hand, wrist or short shoulder carry on many wearers. It is not designed for crossbody use.
Q: How secure is the drawstring closure and what is the interior like? A: The drawstring top allows quick access while providing reasonable day‑to‑evening security when cinched. Inside, there is a smooth leather lining with one main compartment—perfect for keeping essentials close. For valuables, we recommend using a small zip pouch and carrying the bag upright when commuting.
Q: What is Intrecciato leather and how durable is it? A: Intrecciato is Bottega Veneta’s signature hand‑woven leather technique. The nappa leather is supple and luxurious; with mindful use it wears beautifully. Avoid overfilling and keep the weave away from sharp edges or abrasive surfaces to prevent snagging of the leather strips.
Q: How should I care for the black nappa leather and hardware? A: Keep the bag away from moisture, oils and prolonged sunlight. Wipe with a soft, dry microfibre cloth; if lightly damp, blot (don’t rub) and allow to air‑dry away from heat. Use a high‑quality neutral leather conditioner very sparingly and only after testing on a discreet area. Be mindful of colour transfer with dark denim and dyed fabrics. Hardware can develop hairline scratches with normal wear—minimise contact with rough surfaces and avoid metal‑on‑leather friction during storage.
Q: How should I store the bag to maintain its shape? A: Store it lightly stuffed (acid‑free tissue or a soft insert), upright, in a breathable dust bag. Tuck the drawstring and metal tips inside and avoid hanging the bag by the handle for long periods. Place a soft cloth or felt between any leather components to prevent imprints.
Q: Is the Small Bulb Bag heavy to carry? A: The Small Bulb’s soft nappa leather and minimal hardware give it a pleasantly light feel for evening and occasion wear. Weight may vary slightly between individual pieces depending on leather and hardware finish, but it is generally comfortable for extended wear.
Q: Where is this piece made? A: This specific bag is labelled Made in Italy, consistent with Bottega Veneta’s craftsmanship heritage. You can see the label and finishing details in our listing photos.
Q: Where are brand markings and codes found on authentic pieces? A: Authentic Bottega Veneta bags typically feature a leather label stamped “Bottega Veneta – Made in Italy” and a discreet production/serial tag within the lining. Placement and format can vary by era. We’re happy to share detailed close‑ups for this exact item on request.
Q: What accessories are included with this item? A: This piece comes with a dust bag, as noted under “Accessories.” If an accessory isn’t listed there (e.g., box or card), it isn’t included—feel free to contact us for confirmation.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, weaving, stitching, hardware, stamps/labels and overall construction. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide additional photos or details on request.
