Ideal for polished everyday wear and relaxed evenings, this vintage Bottega Veneta Medium Intrecciato hobo in black leather with brass hardware sits neatly on the shoulder. A secure top zip and single woven strap make it effortless on the go, while the beige suede-lined interior with a zip pocket keeps essentials organised for brunch, meetings or gallery visits.
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 Medium Intrecciato Hobo? A: As a medium hobo, it comfortably carries daily essentials: a large smartphone, continental or compact wallet, keys, slim sunglasses in a soft case, a small cosmetics pouch and an A5 diary/notebook. A slim 11-inch tablet may fit depending on the case and how the bag is packed; A4 folders and 13-inch laptops generally do not. For best guidance, compare your items with the Measurements on this page or ask us for a tailored fit check for this exact piece.
Q: Can I wear it crossbody? Is the strap adjustable? A: This style features a single woven shoulder strap designed for shoulder carry; it is not adjustable and not intended for crossbody wear. We list the exact handle/strap drop under Measurements—if you’d like advice on how it will sit on you (over coats, etc.), just ask and we’ll help.
Q: How secure is the closure and what is the interior layout? A: The bag has a top zip closure for everyday security. Inside, you’ll find a beige suede lining with one zipped pocket to secure smaller valuables. Our photos show the exact interior of this piece.
Q: What is “Intrecciato” leather and how does it wear over time? A: Intrecciato is Bottega Veneta’s signature hand‑woven leather technique. The weave gives the bag a supple, slightly slouchy drape that softens with wear. With mindful use it remains durable; avoid overloading to prevent stretching and maintain the hobo’s silhouette.
Q: How should I care for the woven leather and suede lining? A: Keep the bag dry and away from heavy rain and oils. Wipe the leather with a soft, dry cloth; condition very sparingly with a high‑quality neutral product after testing on a discreet area. Avoid abrasive surfaces and sharp jewellery that can snag the weave—if a strip lifts, don’t pull it; seek a professional repair. For the suede lining, gently shake out debris and use a clean lint roller or a soft brush. Store the bag upright, lightly stuffed, in a breathable dust bag with the strap supported to prevent creasing.
Q: Is this model still produced? A: The classic Veneta/Intrecciato hobo in this traditional form is generally considered discontinued in boutiques, with newer successors such as the Jodie and Hop lines. Availability can vary by season and region; the pre‑loved market is the best source for this exact style.
Q: Where are the brand markings and codes located? A: Authentic Bottega Veneta bags have an interior “Bottega Veneta Made in Italy” heat‑stamp. Many vintage/earlier pieces also have a small internal tag or numbers (often inside a pocket or along a seam). These numbers identify the style and production details rather than serving as a public “date code.” Placement and format vary by era—contact us if you’d like close‑up photos for this item.
Q: Can Bottega Veneta repair vintage pieces like this? A: Bottega Veneta offers aftercare and repairs subject to in‑store assessment and parts availability. The brand’s “Certificate of Craft” services apply to eligible bags sold with that programme; eligibility for vintage/pre‑owned items may vary by region. Independent luxury leather specialists can also handle cleaning and weave repairs. We’re happy to advise on options for your location.
Q: What accessories are included with this item? A: For this specific piece, we list “dust bag, mirror” under Accessories. If an accessory isn’t mentioned there, it isn’t included—feel free to ask us to confirm.
Q: How is authenticity guaranteed? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps/tags and overall construction. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide additional photos or details on request.
