Authentic Vintage Bottega Veneta Tricolor Gingham Intrecciato Leather Baguette - 1990s An exceptionally rare and highly collectible archival piece from late-1990s Bottega Veneta. This unique baguette features the house’s iconic "Intrecciato" hand-woven nappa lambskin leather executed in a beautiful, vibrant tricolor gingham check pattern consisting of burnt orange, soft sky blue, and crisp white leather strips. Designed with a slim, east-west barrel silhouette that fits perfectly tucked under the arm. It features a flat gray leather shoulder strap securely anchored by signature vintage gold-tone metal triangle hardware brackets—a key authenticating hallmark of pre-2001 Bottega Veneta pieces. The top zipper opens to a spacious main compartment lined entirely in genuine luxurious taupe suede with an interior branded leather logo plaque. A spectacular pop of color that perfectly captures late-90s Italian luxury. **Condition Details (Please Read Carefully):** * **Overall:** Fair vintage condition. Priced low to reflect clear cosmetic wear on the bottom edge outlines, making this a fantastic entry-level or restoration piece for collectors. * **Exterior Panels:** The front and back main woven face panels are beautifully preserved, clean, and display vibrant, unfaded coloration with tight weaves. * **Hardware & Strap:** The vintage metal triangle accents are secure with minor surface hairline scratches. The flat leather shoulder strap remains structurally strong with intact edge painting. * **Base & Piping (Flaw Note):** The main flat underside panel of the bag is structurally solid and clean. However, there is heavy cosmetic friction rubbing and surface leather loss isolated entirely to the bottom edge piping tips on both ends where the bag naturally makes contact with surfaces. The white finish has worn through to the brown inner leather support layer (clearly documented under macro lighting in the photos). * **Wearability:** Because the base wear curves slightly inward against the body when worn, these cosmetic scuffs are completely unnoticeable during normal day-to-day use under the arm. * **Interior:** Suede lining remains clean and intact for immediate use. **Measurements:** * **Width:** Approx. 11.8 inches (30 cm) * **Height:** Approx. 6.7 inches (17 cm) * **Depth:** Approx. 2.8 inches (7 cm) * **Shoulder Drop:** Approx. 9.4 inches (24 cm) Handcrafted in Italy.
