Vintage Bottega Veneta Medium Intrecciato Hobo Bag - WZ671449 - A Retro Tale
Perfect for polished everyday wear and weekend city strolls, this vintage Bottega Veneta Medium Intrecciato hobo in burgundy slips effortlessly over the shoulder. Its relaxed shape and secure zip make it an elegant choice for office commutes, brunch dates or an understated evening out.
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 Medium Intrecciato Hobo? A: With approximate dimensions of 40 × 25 × 4 cm, it comfortably holds a long wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses case, small cosmetics pouch, a paperback or slim notebook, and a small tablet (up to around 11 inches). A 13-inch laptop is generally not a comfortable fit due to the curved zip opening and slouchy silhouette—please compare your device to the Measurements shown on this page.
Q: Is it comfortable to wear on the shoulder and over a coat? A: The single woven shoulder strap is designed to sit close under the arm for a secure carry. It wears well over light layers; over thicker winter coats the drop can feel snug, so please check the strap measurement in the product information if you prefer more room.
Q: How should I care for the Intrecciato leather? A: Wipe down after use with a soft, dry cloth. Condition sparingly a few times per year with a neutral leather conditioner, avoiding the woven edges and seams to prevent over-saturation. Keep away from oils, perfumes, and prolonged rain, and store stuffed in a breathable dust bag to maintain shape. Avoid rough surfaces to minimise scuffing on the corners.
Q: How do I look after the suede lining? A: Gently refresh the nap with a clean suede brush and avoid liquids inside the bag. If you carry pens or cosmetics, consider a lightweight fabric pouch or organiser to protect the lining. Air out occasionally and store the bag empty, loosely stuffed, and away from direct heat or sunlight.
Q: Will the colour transfer onto clothing (or pick up dye from denim)? A: Colour transfer can occur with richly dyed leathers and with contact against dark denim or untreated fabrics, especially in heat or humidity. To minimise risk, avoid prolonged rubbing against fresh or unwashed denim, rotate carry sides, and consider treating garments or using a protective spray approved for luxe leather. Promptly wipe any superficial marks with a soft cloth.
Q: Is the classic Veneta still produced, and how does it compare to the Hop? A: The classic Veneta hobo has been discontinued in recent years and succeeded by the Hop. The Veneta is a zip-top, close-under-arm hobo with a sleek, continuous handle; the Hop has a flap closure and a different drop and proportions. Pre-loved Venetas remain sought after for their understated silhouette and soft drape.
Q: How can I verify authenticity? A: Authentic Bottega Veneta bags feature exceptional craftsmanship, a discreet embossed "Bottega Veneta Made in Italy" leather tab, and typically a small narrow interior tag with a multi-digit code. Stitching, weave tension, lining, and hardware quality should all be consistent. Every item at A Retro Tale is multi-point authenticated by our specialists; we stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell.
Q: Can Bottega Veneta repair this bag, and is there a warranty? A: Bottega Veneta offers a Certificate of Craft lifetime aftersales programme for eligible bags purchased from the brand and registered with the original sales receipt. Pre-owned pieces without the certificate may still be serviced at a boutique or by a reputable leather atelier, usually for a fee. If you would like guidance on refurbishment options, our team is happy to help.
Q: What is included with this listing? A: Everything that comes with the item is always listed in the product information. For this listing, it is noted as coming with no additional items. If you need clarification, please contact us before purchase.
