Rows of tightly woven nappa leather form the exterior of this dark brown bifold wallet, with the signature Intrecciato pattern drawing the eye across its compact, architectural surface. A silver-tone zipper with a leather pull closes one end, the only hardware detail on an otherwise unbranded front. The structure remains crisp, with only a trace of surface scratches on the exterior and clasp. Inside, the lining is a matching brown, featuring six card slots and two slip pockets—an arrangement typical of Bottega Veneta’s practical minimalism. The wallet opens smoothly, revealing an understated stamp in serif type and a woven “CERTIFICATO DI ORIGINE” label—clues that place this piece in the late 1990s to early 2000s: a time when Tomas Maier had recently taken the helm, refining the house’s commitment to discretion through fine, small-scale Intrecciato and minimal logos. Crafted in Vicenza, where the Intrecciato technique was born from the limitations—and ingenuity—of local artisans, this wallet offers a tactile exploration of leatherwork. The original dust bag is included.
