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 are the size and drop of this Medium Intrecciato Hobo? A: Approx. 46 × 30 × 4 cm with a strap drop of about 17 cm. The softly structured hobo silhouette sits comfortably at the shoulder with a close-underarm carry.
Q: What typically fits inside? A: Daily essentials such as a long wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses, small cosmetic pouch, A4 documents or a tablet. A slim 13-inch laptop generally fits; some 15-inch laptops may fit but can be tight due to the narrower zip opening and curved top. Capacity depends on how you pack.
Q: Is the strap adjustable and can it be worn crossbody? A: The Veneta’s single woven shoulder strap is fixed and designed for shoulder carry; it is not adjustable and not intended for crossbody wear.
Q: Will the strap or weave stretch with use? A: Intrecciato nappa softens with wear and the strap can give slightly over time, especially if the bag is heavily loaded. To maintain shape, avoid overfilling and rotate what you carry.
Q: How should I care for the Intrecciato leather and the suede lining? A: Wipe the exterior with a soft, dry cloth and use a neutral leather cream sparingly when needed. Keep away from water, oils, make-up and prolonged heat or sunlight. For the suede lining, use a clean suede brush to lift the nap and avoid liquid spot-cleaning; for marks, consult a leather-care specialist. Store loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag in a cool, dry place.
Q: Does it fit over a coat? A: With a drop of about 17 cm, it fits most shoulders comfortably. Over very bulky outerwear it may sit snugly under the arm; if you plan to wear it with heavy coats, consider what you typically carry to keep weight down.
Q: How can I authenticate a vintage Bottega Veneta Veneta hobo? A: Look for a clean heat-stamped “Bottega Veneta Made in Italy” leather label and a secondary internal tag that reads “Certificato di Originalità” with a series of numbers on the reverse. Stitching, edge finishing, hardware quality and the uniformity of the weave are consistent on authentic pieces. Note that BV serial codes are internal identifiers rather than date codes.
Q: Is the classic Veneta still produced? What’s the difference to newer styles? A: The classic Veneta has been discontinued and succeeded by newer designs such as the Hop. The Veneta features a curved, seamless top and integrated single strap; the Hop has sharper corners and a wider, flatter strap. Pre-loved is the best route to find the original Veneta.
Q: Can Bottega Veneta repair or refresh this bag? A: Bottega Veneta introduced the Certificate of Craft (from late 2022) offering lifetime refresh and repair on eligible handbags purchased with that certificate. Coverage varies by style and point of purchase, so check with a boutique. For vintage pieces without a certificate, BV boutiques can advise on options and reputable third‑party specialists can provide cleaning or repairs.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information on this page. If a dust bag, care card or other item isn’t listed there, it is not included.
