This vintage Bottega Veneta Intrecciato crossbody in black is ideal for city breaks, weekend errands and day‑to‑night plans. Finished with gunmetal hardware, it wears hands‑free via the adjustable strap, keeps belongings secure with a top zip, and stays organised with a brown suede interior featuring a zip and a slip pocket—effortless elegance for every outing.
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 Intrecciato crossbody bag? A: With approximate measurements of 25 × 20 × 6 cm, it comfortably holds a large smartphone, small wallet, keys, passport, sunglasses, and a few daily essentials such as hand sanitiser and a compact. Capacity depends on how you pack; please refer to the Measurements and photos on this page for exact sizing and layout.
Q: Will it fit an iPad mini or e‑reader? A: Yes, an iPad mini (approx. 195.4 × 134.8 × 6.3 mm) or a similar slim 8.3-inch tablet will fit without a bulky case. If using a case, choose a slim one to maintain a smooth zip closure.
Q: Is the strap adjustable and what is the drop? A: This model features a single adjustable crossbody strap. The listed strap drop is approximately 60 cm at its current setting, allowing hands‑free wear; it can be shortened slightly for shoulder carry if desired.
Q: How durable is Bottega Veneta’s Intrecciato leather in everyday use? A: Intrecciato is the house’s signature hand‑woven leather technique, prized for its supple feel and lasting structure. Like all soft nappa leathers, corners and high‑friction areas can develop scuffing over time—normal for vintage pieces—so mindful use and periodic care help preserve the weave’s appearance.
Q: How should I care for the leather and the suede lining? A: For the leather, wipe with a soft dry cloth and avoid moisture, oils and prolonged direct sunlight. Store stuffed to maintain shape, in a breathable dust bag. For the suede lining, use a suede brush to lift the nap and a suede eraser gently on marks; avoid soaking and spot‑test any product first. For stubborn stains, consult a professional leather specialist.
Q: Does this item come with any extras? A: Everything included is listed under product information. This piece is noted as not including added items such as a dust bag or card unless explicitly stated there.
Q: How is authenticity verified, and do vintage Bottega Veneta bags have serial numbers? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is authenticated by in‑house experts via multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, stamps and hardware. Many Bottega Veneta bags include an internal tag or code; older pieces may feature two‑line codes and formats that vary by era, and some vintage items may not follow current numbering. Code placement and style can differ between models and years.
Q: Can Bottega Veneta repair or refresh this bag? A: Bottega Veneta offers repair and care services through its boutiques, and reputable leather specialists can handle routine cleaning, edge‑touch ups and lining work. For significant restoration, we recommend consulting the brand or a recognised atelier for an assessment.
Q: What are the key condition notes I should be aware of? A: External: good overall with some scuffing and marks at the edges. Internal: good with some stains to the lining. Hardware: shiny with light scratches. Please review all photos for the most accurate view of wear.
