Bottega Veneta Intrecciato Tote Bag

Q: What typically fits inside this Bottega Veneta Intrecciato Tote Bag?
A: With approximate measurements of 55 x 25 x 17 cm, this is a roomy everyday tote. It can typically hold daily essentials such as a wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses, a cosmetics pouch, a tablet, documents, and a water bottle. Most 13-inch laptops should fit horizontally, and some slim 14-inch models may also fit, but we recommend comparing your device to the measurements listed on this page for the best guide.

Q: Does this bag have a zip or other closure?
A: No, this style has an open-top design for easy access. For smaller valuables, it comes with a detachable zip pouch that helps keep essentials more secure inside the bag.

Q: Is the interior lined, and are there any internal pockets?
A: The interior is unlined, which is typical of the Cabat style and part of its soft, artisanal construction. It does not have built-in compartments, so the included pouch is useful for organising smaller items.

Q: Can this tote be carried on the shoulder?
A: The handle drop is approximately 17 cm. Many people will find it comfortable to carry in the hand or over the arm, and it may also sit on the shoulder depending on your frame and what you are wearing.

Q: What product information is included with this item?
A: This piece comes with a dust bag and a pouch. Everything included with the item is listed in the product information on this page.

Q: What condition is this vintage bag in?
A: This item is in very good vintage condition. The exterior shows visible cracking on the handle edges and minor wear on the corners, the interior has light traces of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches. Please review all images carefully for the clearest view of its current condition.

Q: What makes the Cabat and Intrecciato design special?
A: The Cabat is one of Bottega Veneta’s most recognisable tote styles, known for its signature Intrecciato woven leather. It is appreciated for its understated look, supple feel, and craftsmanship, with a soft structure that makes it elegant yet practical for daily use.

Q: How should I care for this bag?
A: We recommend gentle handling and light cleaning with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid rain, oils, perfumes, make-up, rough surfaces, direct sunlight, and heat. Store it in its dust bag when not in use, ideally lightly stuffed to help maintain its shape. As this example already shows cracking along the handle edges, avoid overloading it and minimise friction on the handles.

Q: Is this a good bag for work or travel?
A: Yes, its generous size makes it well suited to workdays, shopping, and day trips. The open-top format makes access easy, while the pouch helps with organisation. For busier commutes or travel days, some people prefer to add a slim organiser or keep valuables inside the zipped pouch for extra peace of mind.
