Perfect for city strolls, weekend brunches, or a polished office look, this burgundy Bottega Veneta Veneta Medium hobo lends understated luxury to everyday ensembles. Its Intrecciato leather and easy shoulder carry make it an elegant companion from day to dusk.
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 the Medium Veneta? A: With external measurements of approximately 38 × 24 × 4 cm, it comfortably holds everyday essentials such as a long wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses, a small cosmetics pouch, compact umbrella and an A5 diary or tablet. The hobo silhouette is slim in depth, so packing flatter items helps it sit neatly on the shoulder.
Q: Will it fit A4 documents or a laptop? A: A4 papers (21 × 29.7 cm) may slip in horizontally, but the curved zip opening and soft, slouchy profile can cause edges to curl; rigid folders are not recommended. A very slim 11–13 inch device can slide in depending on model and case, but due to the narrow opening and 4 cm depth, it is not ideal for regular laptop carry.
Q: Is the handle drop comfortable on the shoulder, even with a coat? A: The integrated handle has an approximate 15 cm drop. It sits comfortably under the arm for most, but it can feel snug over very bulky winter coats. Many owners consider the Medium a three‑season shoulder bag and use larger sizes for heavy layers.
Q: Is the strap adjustable or can it be worn crossbody? A: No. The Veneta’s single handle is woven into the bag and is not adjustable or detachable. It is designed for hand or shoulder carry only.
Q: How much does the Medium Veneta weigh? A: Pre‑loved Medium Venetas typically feel lightweight for a leather shoulder bag, often around 0.45–0.7 kg depending on the year and leather. Actual weight can vary slightly from piece to piece.
Q: What is the interior like on this model? A: The bag has a beige suede lining with one internal zipped pocket and a secure top zip closure. The soft suede gives a quiet, luxurious feel and helps protect small items from scratching.
Q: How should I care for Intrecciato nappa leather? A: Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth after use. Keep away from rain, oils and prolonged direct sunlight. For dryness, use a very gentle, nappa‑specific conditioner sparingly and test on a hidden spot first. Avoid overfilling to prevent the weave from stretching, and store the bag lightly padded in its dust bag to maintain the slouch without creases.
Q: How do I clean the suede lining? A: Turn the bag upside down and gently shake out debris. Use a clean lint roller or a very soft suede brush to lift dust. Avoid liquid cleaners inside; for spills, blot (do not rub) with a microfiber cloth and seek professional leather care if needed.
Q: Will the woven leather stretch or lose shape over time? A: The Veneta’s nappa and woven construction naturally relax and develop a soft drape with wear. To keep the profile neat, avoid overloading, rotate what you carry, and store it stuffed with acid‑free tissue when not in use.
Q: What accessories are included and how is authenticity ensured? A: This piece comes with a dust bag as listed. Every item at A Retro Tale is thoroughly authenticated by our in‑house experts through multi‑point checks of materials, weaving, stamps, hardware and interior tags; we stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell.
