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 is Bottega Veneta’s Intrecciato weave? A: Intrecciato is the house’s signature technique of hand‑weaving strips of leather to create a supple yet durable surface. Developed in the 1970s, it emphasises craft and longevity, giving the bag a soft drape while remaining strong for daily use.
Q: What typically fits inside this bag? A: With approximate measurements of 36 × 22 × 19 cm, it comfortably carries everyday essentials such as a long wallet, phone, keys, a small makeup pouch, compact umbrella, sunglasses case and a small water bottle. Capacity varies with how you pack and the shape of your items—please compare with the Measurements on this page.
Q: Will it fit a 13‑inch laptop or tablet? A: Most 13‑inch laptops or larger tablets in a slim sleeve can fit when placed horizontally, but bulkier cases may be restricted by the top‑zip opening. For best results, measure your device and compare with the interior space; we recommend using a protective sleeve to avoid pressure on the weave.
Q: Is it comfortable to wear on the shoulder? A: Yes. The dual top handles have an approximate 19 cm drop, allowing comfortable shoulder carry and hand/arm carry. The soft, woven leather also helps the bag sit close to the body.
Q: Does this bag come with a longer strap? A: This vintage shoulder bag is designed for hand and shoulder carry via its dual top handles and does not include a detachable crossbody strap.
Q: What accessories are included with this item? A: This piece comes with a dust bag and brand booklet. Any accessories included are always listed under Accessories on the product page.
Q: How should I care for the woven leather and suede lining? A: Keep the bag away from prolonged moisture, oils and direct heat. Wipe the exterior occasionally with a soft, dry cloth and avoid overloading to prevent stretching of the weave. For the beige suede lining, gently lift surface dust with a clean suede brush; avoid harsh cleaners and always spot‑test any protector in a hidden area. Store loosely stuffed in its dust bag in a cool, dry place.
Q: Is colour transfer a risk with red leather? A: As with most richly dyed leathers, some colour transfer can occur, especially against light fabrics or in humid conditions. Allow dark denim or new garments to colour‑set before contact, and avoid prolonged friction. If the leather gets wet, blot (don’t rub) and let it air‑dry naturally away from heat.
Q: How is this bag authenticated? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully vetted by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, weaving, stitching, hardware and interior markings. Many Bottega Veneta bags include an interior leather logo patch and a small fabric tag that reads “Originality Certified” with a code; formats vary by year and model. We stand behind the authenticity of all items and can share additional photos or details on request.
Q: Where can I find the identification tag or code in the bag? A: On many models it is tucked into an interior seam or pocket—sometimes quite deep—so it may take a careful look to locate. The exact placement and code format can vary with production era, which is normal for Bottega Veneta.
