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: Will this case fit a 16-inch MacBook Pro? A: Unlikely. The case measures approximately 34 × 23 × 2 cm. A 16-inch MacBook Pro is around 35.8 × 24.6 cm, so it exceeds the sleeve’s footprint. Please compare your device’s exact width, depth and thickness with our measurements before purchasing.
Q: The title says 17-Inch—what size laptop does it actually suit? A: Style names can be confusing. Based on the listed dimensions, this sleeve is best for devices up to roughly 33 × 22 cm and slim profiles. That typically covers many 13-inch laptops and some compact 14-inch models without bulky cases. If your device is close to these limits, allow 0.5–1 cm for the lining and seams.
Q: How do I check if my device will fit? A: Measure your laptop’s width, depth and thickness (not the screen diagonal). Compare these to the sleeve’s internal clearance and leave a small margin for ease. Devices in protective shells or with rubber feet may need extra allowance.
Q: Is this sleeve padded or rigid? A: It is a leather laptop sleeve with a fabric lining and light structure rather than a hard case. It offers everyday scratch protection but is not heavily padded or drop‑protective. For additional protection, carry it inside a structured briefcase or backpack.
Q: What can the external zip pocket hold? A: It is ideal for flat, slim essentials such as a cable, slim mouse, notepad or phone. To preserve the Intrecciato weave and seams, avoid overfilling or storing bulky chargers there.
Q: What is Intrecciato leather and how should I care for it? A: Intrecciato is Bottega Veneta’s signature hand‑woven nappa leather. Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth after use. For deeper cleans, use a small amount of a pH‑balanced leather cleaner on a cloth and test on a discreet area first. Avoid excessive water, oils or harsh chemicals. Store the sleeve loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag, away from direct heat and sunlight.
Q: Is it water‑resistant? A: The leather is not waterproof. Light splashes should be blotted off promptly; avoid rain and prolonged moisture. You may apply a suitable leather protector if desired—always spot‑test first.
Q: Does it have a strap or handle? A: No. This vintage sleeve is designed to be carried by hand or placed inside another bag. It does not have D‑rings for a strap.
Q: Are any accessories included? A: No accessories are included with this item. Everything supplied is listed under Accessories on this page.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this Bottega Veneta piece? A: Every item is inspected by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, weave, stitching, hardware, interior branding and serial details appropriate to the era. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide additional photos or information on request.
