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 Large Intrecciato Hobo Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 45 x 26 x 4 cm, it is well suited to daily essentials such as a long wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses, a small cosmetics pouch, and slim notebooks or a tablet. Because the profile is quite slim, it is better for flatter items than bulkier belongings. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for the most accurate guide.
Q: Can this bag be worn comfortably on the shoulder? A: Yes. This hobo style is designed for shoulder wear and features a single woven shoulder strap with an approximate 20 cm drop. It should sit comfortably under the arm for most users, but it is not intended to be worn crossbody.
Q: Does the bag close securely? A: Yes. This piece has a zip closure, which helps keep your belongings secure while maintaining the soft, relaxed shape that Bottega Veneta hobo bags are known for.
Q: What is the interior layout like? A: The interior is lined in suede and includes one internal zip pocket. This gives you one separate compartment for smaller essentials while keeping the main section open and easy to access.
Q: What is Intrecciato, and why is it so iconic? A: Intrecciato is Bottega Veneta’s signature woven leather technique and one of the house’s most recognisable design codes. It is prized for its understated look, artisanal craftsmanship, and soft, luxurious feel.
Q: What condition is this vintage bag in? A: This item is listed in Very Good condition with light traces of use. The exterior and interior are both noted as Very Good, and the gunmetal hardware remains shiny with light scratches consistent with careful previous wear.
Q: How should I care for vintage Intrecciato leather? A: Store it carefully and avoid contact with liquids, oils, perfumes, make-up, direct sunlight, heat, and rough surfaces. To help preserve the shape, keep it lightly stuffed when not in use and store it in a breathable fabric bag. As with most vintage leather pieces, gentle handling and avoiding overfilling will help it age beautifully.
Q: Does this item come with any additional product information? A: No. This specific item is sold without additional product information. If you would like more details before purchasing, feel free to contact us for further guidance.
