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 38 × 32 × 9 cm and a 5 cm top‑handle drop, it comfortably carries a 13–14‑inch laptop, A4 folders/documents, a slim charger, notebook/diary, smartphone, compact wallet, keys and a small tech or cosmetics pouch. Bulky sleeves or thick binders may reduce capacity under the flap—compare your items with the Measurements shown or ask us for a tailored fit check for this exact piece.
Q: Will it fit a 15‑inch or 16‑inch laptop? A: Many 15‑inch devices fit; a 16‑inch (MacBook‑class) laptop can be a snug fit depending on the case and the clearance under the flap. Slim devices without chunky sleeves fare best. Share your device’s dimensions and we’ll test the fit in this specific bag.
Q: Does it come with a shoulder strap? Can I wear it crossbody? A: This configuration is designed for hand carry with a single top handle (approx. 5 cm drop) and does not include a shoulder strap. Some seasons offered strap‑equipped briefcases, but for this listing everything included is stated under “Accessories”—this item is sold with no accessories.
Q: How secure is the closure and what pockets does it have? A: It features a flap top with a push‑lock closure for everyday security and one external zipped pocket at the back for quick‑access items. The interior is lined in black fabric; pocket layout can vary slightly by year—please review our photos for the exact configuration of this piece.
Q: Is it heavy to carry? A: Intrecciato briefcases are structured yet balanced for professional use. If you’re sensitive to weight, we’re happy to provide an exact scale weight for this item on request.
Q: Is Intrecciato woven leather durable for daily commuting? A: Yes—the Intrecciato technique is celebrated for combining suppleness with strength. As with all woven leathers, high‑friction areas and edges can show gradual wear or slight curling over time; mindful use (avoiding abrasion and overloading) helps maintain a crisp silhouette.
Q: How should I care for the woven nappa leather and gunmetal hardware? A: Keep the bag away from heavy rain and oils; be mindful of colour transfer from dark denim on lighter clothing or linings. Dust with a soft, dry microfibre cloth; use a high‑quality neutral leather conditioner very sparingly and only after testing on a discreet area. Avoid scrubbing across the weave. Gently wipe hardware and keep it away from abrasive surfaces to minimise fine hairline scratches.
Q: How should I store it to preserve its shape? A: Store upright, lightly stuffed with acid‑free tissue, in a breathable dust bag. Keep it away from direct sunlight and humidity. Avoid hanging the bag by the handle for long periods and place a soft cloth between leather components and hardware to prevent impressions.
Q: Is this vintage business bag still produced? A: Bottega Veneta continues to release briefcases and Intrecciato leather pieces, but this push‑lock, single‑handle vintage configuration is generally considered discontinued. The pre‑loved market is the best route for this exact style.
Q: Where are the brand markings and codes typically found, and does it come with an authenticity card? A: Authentic Bottega Veneta bags usually feature an interior “BOTTEGA VENETA – MADE IN ITALY” heat‑stamp and a discreet internal serial/production tag or certificate label tucked into an interior pocket seam. Some pieces originally included a paper authenticity certificate or card, but many rely on the internal tag and stamp. For this listing, any extras are noted under “Accessories”; if an item isn’t mentioned there, it isn’t included. Every piece at A Retro Tale undergoes rigorous multi‑point authentication by our in‑house experts, and we stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell.
