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 can this travel pouch hold day to day? A: With approximate measurements of 24 × 17 × 8 cm, it comfortably fits a passport, smartphone, slim wallet or card holder, charging cable and plug, keys, and a compact grooming kit or small cosmetics. Capacity depends on how you pack and the shape of your items.
Q: Does it have a strap or wristlet? A: This piece is designed as a handheld travel pouch with a side leather handle and a zip-top closure. It does not include a detachable strap or wristlet.
Q: Is the Intrecciato leather delicate? A: Intrecciato is Bottega Veneta’s signature woven leather technique, created to be supple yet durable. Like all fine leather, it benefits from mindful use—avoid sharp edges or rough surfaces that could scuff the weave and keep it away from dyes that may transfer (for example, dark denim).
Q: How should I care for the leather exterior? A: Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth after use. Keep away from water, oils, and prolonged heat or direct sunlight. If the leather becomes slightly dry, use a small amount of a neutral leather conditioner tested on a discreet area first. Store loosely stuffed to maintain shape and place in a breathable dust bag or cotton pillowcase when not in use.
Q: Can I use it as a toiletry bag while travelling? A: Yes, many clients use similar pouches for grooming essentials. Because it is leather and fabric lined, keep liquids in leak‑proof bottles or a separate clear bag and avoid direct spills. If the pouch gets lightly damp, blot immediately and allow it to air dry away from heat.
Q: How do I clean the fabric lining? A: Turn the lining out where possible and remove debris with a lint roller or a small handheld vacuum. For minor marks, spot clean sparingly with a barely damp cloth and a drop of mild soap, then blot with a dry cloth and air dry. Avoid soaking the fabric or getting the leather trim wet.
Q: Is this style unisex? A: Absolutely. The minimalist design and practical size make it suitable for any user as a travel organiser, clutch, or tech/cord pouch.
Q: What is included with this listing? A: Everything included is listed under the product information on this page. If an item such as a dust bag or card is not noted there, it is not part of this listing.
Q: How do you authenticate this item? A: Every piece at A Retro Tale is verified by in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, weave and stitching, hardware, heat stamps, and construction details. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide further photos or details on request.
Q: The description mentions scuffed corners and hardware discolouration—how can I minimise further wear? A: Avoid abrasive contact, overfilling, and exposure to moisture. For hardware, use only a soft dry microfibre cloth; metal polishes are not recommended as they can affect surrounding leather.
