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 dimensions and what will it hold day to day? A: This Nodini measures approximately 27 × 21 × 5 cm. It comfortably fits a large smartphone, small wallet, keys, sunglasses, and cosmetics, plus a slim 8-inch tablet or e‑reader. It is not designed for bulky water bottles or A4 documents; capacity will vary depending on how you pack.
Q: How is the interior arranged on this specific piece? A: Interior layouts can vary by production year. Some Nodini versions include interior pockets, while others are more minimal. This item has a brown suede lining with one main compartment and a zip‑top closure, as stated in the product information for this piece.
Q: Is the strap suitable for crossbody wear and can it be adjusted? A: Yes. The bag has a single adjustable strap designed for shoulder or crossbody wear. The drop on this item is approximately 36 cm in its current setting and can be adjusted to suit your preferred length; please refer to the measurements on this page for details.
Q: What is Intrecciato leather and why is it special? A: Intrecciato is Bottega Veneta’s signature hand‑woven leather technique, created to increase flexibility and strength while giving a distinctive, understated look. The Nodini is typically crafted from supple nappa leather, making it lightweight and comfortable for daily use.
Q: Is the Nodini considered lightweight and comfortable to wear all day? A: Yes. The soft, woven leather and flat strap make the Nodini an easy, light carry for everyday essentials. Many owners choose it for hands‑free use and all‑day wear thanks to its compact, low‑bulk profile.
Q: How should I care for the Intrecciato leather and suede lining? A: Wipe the leather gently with a soft, dry cloth after use, avoid rain and prolonged sunlight, and keep away from oils, makeup, and dyed materials that may transfer colour. Store the bag loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag to help maintain its shape. For deep cleaning or repairs, consult a professional leather care service rather than using harsh cleaners or sprays.
Q: Does this bag have one or two zip pulls? A: Different Nodini releases have used both single and dual zip configurations. This specific piece has a single zip‑top closure as noted in the product information.
Q: What hardware and condition should I expect on this item? A: The hardware is a dark tone with a shiny finish and shows light surface scratches. Overall, both the exterior and interior are in very good condition with only light signs of use, as detailed on this page.
Q: What is included with this purchase? A: Everything included is listed under the product information section for this item. If a dust bag, mirror, or care booklet is not listed there, it is not included with this piece.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully vetted by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, heat stamps, and construction. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide additional photos or details upon request.
