A lesson in the architectural restraint of Intreccio weave, refined through the Arco silhouette.
From Bottega Veneta’s 2019–2020 Arco tote series, this Small Intreccio edition embodies Italian craftsmanship with a focus on discreet structure over hardware. The tote’s revival moment coincided with the brand’s recalibrated minimalism under Daniel Lee.
Made in sharply woven Intreccio Nappa leather, the Arco maintains its iconic pleated silhouette.

Notably, the original detachable pouch is no longer present—consistent pouch availability was limited in early small runs, underscoring its rarity.

• Exterior: Smooth Intreccio Nappa leather
• Hardware: Minimalist gold‑tone D‑rings for optional strap
• Lining: Soft suede interior
• Stitching: Uniform and aligned with weave intersections

• Additional Elements: Structured baseboard retains tote shape

SIZE & DIMENSIONS:
