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 this Intrecciato bag? A: With approximate dimensions of 25 × 18 × 12 cm, it holds daily essentials such as a long wallet, smartphone, keys, sunglasses in a soft case, a small cosmetics pouch and a compact umbrella. A small tablet (e.g., iPad mini) can fit; larger tablets and A4 documents will not. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact sizing.
Q: How is the bag carried and is the strap adjustable? A: It features a single flat shoulder strap with an approximate 20 cm drop. The strap is not adjustable or removable and is designed to sit comfortably under the arm. It is not intended for cross‑body wear.
Q: How durable is Bottega Veneta’s Intrecciato Nappa leather in daily use? A: Intrecciato is a hand‑woven construction in soft Nappa leather that is lightweight and flexible. It wears beautifully with care but, compared with coated leathers, it can be more prone to surface scuffs and colour transfer. Avoid overfilling, rough surfaces and prolonged rubbing against abrasive fabrics to preserve the weave and edges.
Q: How should I care for the leather exterior? A: Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth after use. If needed, use a slightly damp cloth for light surface dirt and allow to air‑dry away from heat. Apply a neutral, high‑quality leather conditioner sparingly and only after spot‑testing on an inconspicuous area. Avoid oils, harsh cleaners, alcohol‑based wipes and waterproofing sprays not specifically intended for Nappa leather. Store the bag loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag, away from direct sunlight and humidity.
Q: How do I maintain the suede lining? A: Use a clean suede brush to lift the nap and remove light dust. For small marks, a suede eraser can help; avoid liquid cleaners. For significant stains or odours, consult a professional leather specialist. Keep pens and liquids in pouches to prevent transfer to the lining.
Q: Will the pink colour be susceptible to transfer or fading? A: Light‑coloured Nappa can absorb dyes from dark denim and other saturated fabrics, especially when new. Minimise friction against such materials and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight to reduce the risk of colour transfer and fading.
Q: Does Bottega Veneta offer aftercare or repairs for this bag? A: Bottega Veneta provides aftercare support through its boutiques and Customer Care, and the Certificate of Craft programme offers long‑term refresh and repair for a selection of bags. Eligibility depends on the specific style and purchase details, so we recommend contacting a Bottega Veneta boutique for guidance. For services outside the programme, reputable leather specialists can assist with cleaning and restoration.
Q: How is authenticity verified and what brand markings should I expect? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is authenticated using multi‑point checks of materials, weaving, stitching, hardware and stamps. Many Bottega Veneta bags feature an interior “Bottega Veneta Made in Italy” label and a small numeric code on or behind a tag; placement and format vary by era. We are happy to provide close‑up photos and additional information on request.
Q: What is included with this listing? A: Everything included is listed in the product information section. This piece is sold without additional items unless specifically stated there. Please contact us if you would like clarification before purchasing.
