Vintage Bottega Veneta Intrecciato Woven Bifold Wallet Early 2000s Dark Brown

In the Veneto workshops at the start of the Tomas Maier era, Bottega Veneta’s artisans worked almost in silence — the only mark of origin, a field of tightly woven nappa, as seen across this dark brown bifold wallet. The Intrecciato weave is fine-grained and precise, wrapping the exterior without interruption or visible logo, in line with Maier’s philosophy of anonymity and touch.

Inside, a matching dark brown fabric lining reveals six card slots, two slip pockets, and a gold-tone zip compartment trimmed with a slender leather pull — hardware left unembellished, just functional weight. The wallet closes flat, the corners and zipper showing only minimal signs of use. The original dust bag is included.

This piece is anchored in the early 2000s, identified by its serial stamp (114078 3407I) and the small-scale Intrecciato weave that defined Bottega Veneta under Maier’s direction. The brand’s subtlety here is deliberate: “when your own initials are enough,” carried out in every woven line.
