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

Dark brown nappa strips are woven in a tight, small-scale Intrecciato, the signature construction that defined Bottega Veneta’s direction in the early 2000s. The bifold silhouette closes with a silver-tone snap, left deliberately unbranded, in keeping with the house’s anti-logo philosophy of the Tomas Maier years. The exterior is uninterrupted by hardware or insignia; the only marking—a plain white interior tag printed in serif capitals—rests inside.

Inside, the wallet reveals a matching dark brown leather lining with one main compartment and two card slots, sized for understated function. Surface wear is visible throughout: faint scuffing and scratches at the corners and fold, with edges softened from handling over time.

This piece captures the quiet intent of Maier’s Bottega Veneta, when craft and anonymity were the house code. The original box and authenticity cards are included.
