Bottega Veneta Intrecciato Large Hobo | Sold Attire

A large Bottega hobo where material does all the talking.

Crafted in deep aubergine intrecciato woven leather, this Large Hobo is defined by its soft, fluid structure and natural drape against the body. The leather remains supple and even throughout, with light scuffing to the edge paint in the same tone, consistent with careful use. Condition is rated 8.5/10, placing it confidently among authenticated vintage Bottega Veneta bags that wear in with character rather than compromise.

The Designer's Vision

Bottega Veneta's philosophy has always been simple: "When your own initials are enough." Founded in 1966 in Vicenza, Italy, the house built its reputation on a single technique—intrecciato, the woven leather method that became synonymous with quiet luxury.

The intrecciato weave was never about decoration. It was born from necessity—weaving strips of leather made them stronger, more flexible, and more durable than single-piece construction. The result was bags that aged beautifully, developing patina and character over time.

This 2010s-era hobo represents Bottega Veneta's commitment to material integrity over branding. Free from visible logos, it relies solely on texture, proportion, and the unmistakable intrecciato pattern to signal belonging. The aubergine colourway—a deep, sophisticated purple-brown—was designed for collectors who value depth over flash.

For the collector in Cairo, this is not simply a hobo bag. It is an entry into Bottega Veneta's philosophy of stealth wealth, authenticated and timeless.

This piece sits naturally within our Carry Luxe Icons collection, curated for wearable designer bags chosen for material integrity and lasting relevance.

It wears in, not out.
