This vintage Bottega Veneta Intrecciato Business Bag in dark grey leather is ideal for polished workdays and boardroom meetings. Dual rolled handles, a detachable shoulder strap and a zip closure offer effortless carry. Gunmetal hardware and a light brown, pocketed interior lend refined practicality from the morning commute to client lunches.
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 Bottega Veneta Intrecciato Business Bag? A: With approximate dimensions of 42 × 32 × 2 cm, it’s optimised for documents and slim tech. It comfortably holds A4 folders, a large smartphone, a cardholder or compact wallet, keys, pens and a slim cables pouch. Because the gusset is only about 2 cm, bulky cases and thick pouches reduce capacity—pack flat, low‑profile items for the best experience.
Q: Will it fit my laptop or tablet? A: Slim 13‑inch laptops and most tablets usually fit when placed flat without a thick sleeve. Some ultra‑thin 14‑inch devices may fit depending on depth; 15‑inch laptops generally do not fit comfortably due to the slim profile and zip opening. Compare your device’s measurements with those listed here or ask us for a tailored fit check for this exact piece.
Q: How can I carry it? Is the strap suitable for crossbody? A: It has dual rolled handles (approx. 10 cm drop) for hand or crook‑of‑arm carry and a detachable shoulder strap (approx. 43 cm drop). At 43 cm, most will find it ideal for the shoulder; it wears as a high crossbody on some frames but is primarily a shoulder or hand carry briefcase.
Q: How secure is the closure and what is the interior layout? A: The bag features a zip‑top main compartment for everyday security. Inside, there is a light brown fabric lining with internal pockets to organise small items. Our listing photos show the exact pocket configuration for this piece.
Q: What is Intrecciato leather and is it durable for work use? A: Intrecciato is Bottega Veneta’s signature hand‑woven leather technique. The interlaced strips distribute stress and help the bag retain its shape with mindful use, offering a durable, timeless and understated look suited to daily commuting and meetings.
Q: How should I care for the woven leather and gunmetal hardware? A: Keep the bag away from liquids, oils and prolonged sunlight, and be mindful of abrasive surfaces. Dust with a soft, dry cloth; condition smooth leather sparingly and only after testing on a discreet area. Store it upright, lightly stuffed, in a breathable dust bag. During storage, protect the hardware from rubbing to minimise hairline scratches.
Q: Will the Intrecciato weave snag or stretch over time? A: With everyday careful use it remains refined. Avoid sharp edges and point‑loaded items; don’t overfill, as excess weight can distort any slim briefcase. If a strand is lightly raised, avoid pulling it—consult a professional leather specialist for delicate re‑setting of the weave.
Q: Where are the brand markings and codes located? A: Authentic Bottega Veneta bags typically have an interior “Bottega Veneta Made in Italy” heat‑stamp and a discreet production/serial tag. Placement and format vary by era—older pieces often have a white fabric tag with multiple lines of numbers, while later models may use a small leather tab with numbers. We’re happy to share close‑ups for this specific piece on request.
Q: Does Bottega Veneta offer repairs or aftercare for vintage pieces? A: Bottega Veneta boutiques provide aftercare subject to assessment and parts availability. The brand’s Certificate of Craft offers complimentary care on eligible products accompanied by the programme card; eligibility for pre‑owned items varies by piece and region. If boutique support isn’t available, reputable independent leather specialists can handle cleaning and restoration.
Q: What accessories are included and how do you authenticate? A: For this listing we include a detachable shoulder strap (see “Accessories”). If an accessory isn’t mentioned there, it isn’t included—contact us to confirm. Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes rigorous, multi‑point authentication by our in‑house experts, assessing materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and era‑correct tags to ensure authenticity.
