Vintage Bottega Veneta Intrecciato Leather Waist Bag Early 2000s Black

A fine grid of hand-woven black nappa leather shapes this Bottega Veneta waist bag, its surface defined by the house's signature Intrecciato technique. The silhouette is compact and functional, set off by gold-tone hardware and an adjustable leather strap that allows for crossbody or waist carry. The top zipper opens to a beige fabric-lined main compartment, keeping the design clean and the focus on construction. Light scratching and minor creasing are visible on the exterior, with the leather retaining its suppleness throughout.

This example likely dates to the early 2000s, during Tomas Maier’s tenure, when Bottega Veneta rejected overt branding in favour of material and craft. The small-scale Intrecciato weave and absence of external logos are characteristic of the era’s quiet, word-of-mouth luxury.

Comes with the original dust bag. The bag’s structure and hardware remain intact, with no serial or interior label visible.
