Red Intrecciato sits in the rare colourway category, the shade most Bottega collectors specifically hunt. The Intrecciato weave was born of a 1966 atelier constraint when early sewing machines could not handle thick leather; the house line \"when your own initials are enough\" was coined during 1980s brand-identity work and still governs Bottega today. Pre-owned Bottega Veneta bags almost never arrive in jewel-tone red on the secondary market. For those who buy once and buy right, this Intrecciato flap is that piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bottega Veneta\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Intrecciato Flap Crossbody\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesigner:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tomas Maier\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEra \/ Year:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tomas Maier era\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 29 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 24 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDepth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStrap Drop:\u003c\/strong\u003e 51 cm (adjustable, crossbody)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Red Intrecciato woven calfskin\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLining:\u003c\/strong\u003e Suede lining with slip pocket\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gunmetal-tone\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClosure:\u003c\/strong\u003e Flap with drawstring detail\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAuthenticity Marker:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand-woven Intrecciato weave, interior heat stamp, period-correct flap-and-drawstring construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Excellent (SA Score 9 of 10).

The line \"when your own initials are enough\" was coined during the early brand-identity work and has survived every creative direction change since. Red Intrecciato has historically shipped in small seasonal capsules, roughly every third season, which makes pre-loved Bottega Veneta buyers move quickly when an authenticated red piece surfaces on the secondary market. Made in Italy by artisans who train for seven years before they touch a bag that leaves the atelier. Sourced through Sold Attire's Japan auction channel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n  \u003csummary\u003eThe Dialogue\u003c\/summary\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhy is red the collector colourway for Bottega Intrecciato?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eBecause Bottega historically releases red Intrecciato in limited seasonal capsules rather than as a year-round option, and each strip must be individually dyed before weaving. Matthieu Blazy re-released a red Intrecciato capsule in 2023, which reawakened resale interest in earlier red pieces from the Maier and Lee years. Resale listings in red consistently clear faster than black or brown in the same silhouette.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhat does the flap-with-drawstring closure indicate about era?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe flap-and-drawstring construction appeared mostly in Tomas Maier era pieces, particularly his late-tenure work between 2013 and 2017. Daniel Lee moved the house away from drawstring details toward magnetic and twist-lock closures. Flap-drawstring Intrecciato crossbodies therefore generally date to the Maier archive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eIs the Intrecciato weave repairable if a strip breaks?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eYes. Bottega Veneta's Vicenza atelier offers Intrecciato restoration across all eras, typically four to six weeks, requiring the bag to be shipped through an authorised boutique.

Handle with dry hands only. Wipe gently with a soft dry cloth after wear. Avoid conditioning products, which can dull the pigment over time. Store lightly stuffed with acid-free tissue inside the Sold Attire dust bag, away from direct sunlight. The suede interior should be kept dry, as suede absorbs moisture and stains more readily than leather lining.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n  \u003csummary\u003eAuthentication \u0026amp; Guarantee\u003c\/summary\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eEvery crossbody passes through Sold Attire's 10-step authentication: Intrecciato weave-strip consistency, red dye saturation across strips, gunmetal hardware finish, interior heat-stamp typography, flap-and-drawstring construction, suede lining nap, slip-pocket stitch tension, strap rivet weight, edge-paint finishing, and provenance documentation.
