Bottega Veneta – Rare Intrecciato Fringe Leather Bag, c. Early 2000s Khaki Grey | Exceptional Vintage Condition | Made in Italy A rare and highly characterful example from Bottega Veneta, this Intrecciato fringe bag reflects a period when the house’s identity was defined not by logos, but by uncompromising craftsmanship and tactile design. Executed in supple, high-grade leather, the bag features Bottega Veneta’s signature handwoven Intrecciato technique—each strip meticulously interlaced to create both structure and fluidity. This disciplined craftsmanship is juxtaposed with an expressive cascade of hand-cut leather fringe, lending movement, depth, and a quietly sculptural presence. The muted khaki-grey palette underscores the house’s philosophy of discreet luxury, allowing the workmanship and form to speak without ornamentation. Braided top handles and a detachable shoulder strap offer versatility, while the suede-lined interior—finished with a subtle embossed logo—reinforces the brand’s long-standing commitment to material integrity over overt branding. ⸻ Provenance & Rarity Pieces of this nature belong to a less-commercial, more artisanal chapter of Bottega Veneta’s evolution—prior to the widespread reissue culture of later years. Designs combining full fringe articulation with Intrecciato construction are notably scarce on the secondary market, particularly in such well-preserved condition. ⸻ Condition Presented in excellent vintage condition. The leather remains supple and well-nourished, with a consistent tone and structure. Fringe is complete and fluid, retaining its original density and movement. Interior is clean and well-kept. Minimal, age-appropriate signs of wear, commensurate with careful ownership. ⸻ Specifications • Handwoven Intrecciato leather exterior • Full-length hand-cut leather fringe • Suede-lined interior with embossed logo • Dual braided top handles; detachable shoulder strap • Colour: Khaki grey • Origin: Italy Measurements Width (top): ~32–34 cm • Height (excluding fringe): ~24–26 cm • Height (including fringe): ~34–38 cm • Depth: ~12–14 cm • Top handle drop: ~10–12 cm • Shoulder strap drop: ~45–55 cm (adjustable depending on knot/fit)
