From busy days in the city to evening drinks, this Bottega Veneta Padded Cassette in bright green padded intrecciato leather with silver-tone hardware adds a bold pop to tailoring and denim alike. An adjustable shoulder strap and magnetic flap make it an effortless companion for gallery openings, dinners or weekend strolls—elegant, modern and easy to wear.
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 in the Bottega Veneta Padded Cassette? A: With measurements of approximately 23 × 15 × 5 cm, it comfortably holds daily essentials such as a smartphone, small wallet or cardholder, keys, and a few cosmetics. A hard sunglasses case or bulky items may be a tight fit—packing slim accessories works best.
Q: Can I wear it crossbody and on the shoulder, and is the strap removable? A: Yes, the single strap is adjustable for both crossbody and shoulder wear. On this piece the strap drop is about 55 cm. The strap is not designed to be removed.
Q: How secure is the closure? A: The flap features a magnetic closure that keeps contents secure. Some users find it feels firm at first; it softens slightly with use while remaining secure.
Q: What is the bag made of? A: This is crafted in padded Intreccio lambskin leather with a matching green leather lining and a single interior zipped pocket. The hardware is silver-tone on this item.
Q: How heavy is it to carry? A: The classic Padded Cassette typically weighs around 0.6 kg, so it feels substantial yet comfortable for day-to-day crossbody wear.
Q: Is this the chain version? A: No. This is the classic Padded Cassette with a leather strap. Bottega Veneta also offers Chain Cassette and other variations, which use different straps and finishes.
Q: Any care tips for the padded lambskin and weave? A: Keep the bag away from rain and oils, avoid prolonged rubbing against dark or heavily dyed fabrics to minimise colour transfer, and store it lightly stuffed in its dust bag to preserve the padded structure. Use only a soft, dry cloth for light cleaning; for deeper care, seek professional leather services.
Q: Does Bottega Veneta offer maintenance or repairs for this model? A: Yes. Bottega Veneta’s Certificate of Craft programme provides complimentary care services, including refresh and repair, for iconic bags over their lifetime. Availability and specifics may vary by region; your boutique can advise.
Q: What accessories are included with this item? A: This piece comes with a dust bag and brand booklets, as listed under Accessories.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is thoroughly inspected by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and construction. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide additional photos or details on request.
