Ideal for the daily commute and client meetings, this 16-inch Bottega Veneta laptop case in dark blue Intrecciato leather brings polish from desk to dinner. Carried under the arm or by the detachable wristlet, it slips neatly into a tote on travel days and keeps essentials secure with the top zip—an elegant choice for offices, co-working sessions and city breaks.
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 is this item? A: A Bottega Veneta Intrecciato leather laptop case in navy with silver‑tone hardware, brown fabric lining, a top zip closure and a detachable braided wristlet strap. It is a vintage, pre‑owned piece authenticated by A Retro Tale and made in Italy. Please review our photos and description for the exact specifications of this individual item.
Q: Will it fit a 16‑inch laptop (e.g., MacBook Pro 16)? A: The case measures approximately 35 × 24 × 2 cm. As the internal capacity is slightly smaller than the exterior measurements due to the leather and lining, fit can be snug and device‑dependent. Please compare your laptop’s exact dimensions and allow a few millimetres for ease, especially if you use a hard shell or sleeve on the device.
Q: Is this sleeve padded or drop‑proof? A: It is a slim, structured leather sleeve designed for elegant day‑to‑day protection against light scuffs. It is not a hard case and does not provide significant shock or drop protection. For extra protection, use a thin device cover and/or carry the sleeve inside a padded bag.
Q: What can it carry besides a laptop? A: Flat items such as A4 documents, a slim notebook or low‑profile cables can be carried alongside a device. Bulky chargers and accessories may be tight due to the 2 cm depth. This style has one main compartment; please check the photos to gauge capacity.
Q: Is the wristlet strap removable? A: Yes. The braided wristlet strap is detachable for versatile carry—use it for hand carry, or remove it when placing the sleeve inside a tote or briefcase.
Q: How should I care for Intrecciato leather? A: Keep the leather dry and away from prolonged sunlight or heat. Wipe gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Use a neutral leather conditioner sparingly on clean leather only. Avoid harsh chemicals or waterproofing sprays. Store the sleeve lightly filled with tissue in a cool, dry place to help maintain its shape.
Q: Can colour transfer occur? A: As with most leathers, colour transfer from dark or freshly dyed fabrics (e.g., denim) can occur. Minimise prolonged rubbing against such materials and wipe the leather promptly if contact occurs. The navy colour helps disguise minor transfer, but care is still advised.
Q: How is authenticity verified? A: A Retro Tale performs rigorous multi‑point authentication, assessing materials, weave, stitching, stamps and hardware. Vintage Bottega Veneta items may or may not have an internal production tag, depending on era and model; presence or absence is not solely determinative of authenticity.
Q: Does it come with the original box or dust bag? A: This listing is marked “no accessories,” so original packaging is not included. Please refer to the Accessories section and photos for exactly what accompanies this item.
Q: Is it unisex and suitable for professional use? A: Yes. The understated Intrecciato weave and navy tone make it a refined, gender‑neutral choice for the office, client meetings and travel. It can be carried under the arm or by the wristlet strap and slips neatly into most standard totes and briefcases.
