Made for the morning commute and polished client meetings, this vintage Bottega Veneta Intrecciato business bag in black leather pairs silver-tone hardware with a single top handle. Two internal compartments and an external zip pocket keep essentials ordered, while the front flap with push-lock secures everything from office hours to after-work engagements.
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 measurements of 40 × 30 × 6 cm, it comfortably fits A4/Letter documents, a notebook or diary, a charger, and a 13-inch laptop. Many 14-inch laptops also fit; some slim 15-inch models may fit depending on thickness and sleeve. Please compare your device to the measurements for certainty.
Q: Will it fit a 16-inch MacBook? A: It may fit without a bulky sleeve, but it will be snug. The bag’s width is around 40 cm; we recommend measuring your specific device and using a slim case to ensure an easy slide in/out.
Q: Does it come with a shoulder strap or extras? A: This piece is designed to be carried by the single top handle (approx. 5 cm drop). Everything included is listed under the product information for this listing; this item is sold without additional items.
Q: How is the interior organised? A: It has a black-lined interior with two main compartments for documents and tech, plus an exterior zipped pocket for quick-access items. The front flap secures with a push‑lock closure.
Q: What is Intrecciato, and why is it special? A: Intrecciato is Bottega Veneta’s signature hand‑woven leather technique, developed in Italy to enhance both flexibility and strength. It has become a hallmark of the house’s craftsmanship and understated design.
Q: How does the leather wear in daily use? A: The woven leather is supple and will develop a natural patina with use. High‑friction areas such as corners and edges may show rubbing over time—this is normal character for well‑loved Intrecciato pieces with regular wear.
Q: How should I care for this bag? A: Wipe with a soft, dry cloth after use; avoid over‑filling to prevent stress on the weave; keep away from prolonged sunlight and direct heat; if it gets wet, blot gently and let it air‑dry naturally. Store stuffed with acid‑free paper in a breathable dust bag to help maintain shape. For deeper cleaning or scuff treatment, we recommend a professional leather specialist familiar with Intrecciato.
Q: Is it okay to use in the rain? A: Like most natural leathers, it isn’t waterproof. Light splashes can be blotted off, but avoid heavy rain. Do not use harsh waterproofing sprays or solvents, as they may darken or damage the leather; seek professional advice for protective products if needed.
Q: Does Bottega Veneta provide repairs for bags like this? A: Bottega Veneta introduced the Certificate of Craft care programme for a selection of handbags purchased new through the brand. Eligibility varies by model and purchase channel, and pre‑owned pieces may not be covered. Your local boutique may still offer inspection and paid repair options subject to assessment—please contact them with your bag for guidance.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, weave quality, hardware, stamps, and interior tags. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide additional photos or details on request.
