Vintage Bottega Veneta shoulder bag in genuine calf hair (pony hair), printed with a turquoise leopard pattern on a cream ground. The hair still shows its natural growth swirl across the back panel - this is a real hide, not a print on fabric. Trimmed, strapped and part-lined in turquoise-green leather, with a taupe suede interior. Made in Italy. From the era before Bottega Veneta went logo-free: the tapered strap caps and the zip pull are stamped with the old house mark, a B set on a hatched triangle. The bag still carries its full set of markings - the sewn-in CERTIFICATO DI ORIGINALITA label, the brown leather BOTTEGA VENETA / MADE IN ITALY hangtag, and a silver BOTTEGA VENETA plaque inside. Many vintage BV bags carry no number at all, so a complete set like this is worth having. - Era: vintage, late 1990s / early 2000s - Material: genuine calf hair (pony hair) and leather; taupe suede lining - Colour: cream with turquoise leopard print; turquoise-green leather trim and strap - Hardware: silver tone, stamped with the vintage B-on-triangle mark - Closure: top zip - Pockets: one exterior slip pocket at the back, one interior slip pocket - Measurements: 25 cm wide x 16 cm high; shoulder strap drop 34 cm - Certificate label: 10126001291KME Condition: very good vintage.
