Description & history

Bottega Veneta compact zip-around wallet in turquoise blue Intrecciato nappa lambskin · 15 × 10 × 2.5 cm · 5 card slots · coin compartment · banknote pocket · gunmetal hardware · Made in Italy · grade B.

Intrecciato is the very essence of Bottega Veneta. Since 1966, the Vicenza-based fashion house has built its identity around this weave — strips of nappa lambskin woven by hand into one another, without visible stitching. No logo, no monogram: the leather is the message. This compact wallet is its most everyday expression, an object touched twenty times a day that serves as a constant reminder that luxury can be found in the most functional details.

Turquoise blue is a rare colour on the Bottega pre-owned market. Far from classic blacks and browns, it brings an immediate energy — a pop of colour that stands out in a bag, a pocket or placed on a table. The nappa lambskin takes this hue with remarkable depth, the weaving creating play between light and shadow that varies the intensity of the blue depending on the angle.

The compact 15 × 10 × 2.5 cm format holds all the essentials without the bulk: five card slots, a coin compartment and a banknote pocket. The zip-around fastening keeps the contents secure and gives the wallet its structured shape. The gunmetal finish hardware — matte black metal — subtly blends into the leather, in true Bottega tradition of letting the craftsmanship speak for itself.

Good overall condition, grade B — clean leather, no major flaws, slight rubbing to the corners (see photos). The interior is in good condition with signs of previous use in the coin compartment and banknote pocket, accompanied by slight rubbing. The wallet will be delivered with a RARR Vintage dust bag and a RARR Vintage certificate of authenticity.
