“BOTTEGA VENETA” 2010’s Intrecciato leather compact bi-fold wallet

Founded in 1966 in Vicenza, Italy, BOTTEGA VENETA has cultivated a distinctive sense of beauty through exceptional leather craftsmanship rather than claims made by a logo. We are pleased to present a piece that brings together the allure and practicality of intrecciato.

Crafted from supple black leather precisely cut into narrow strips, and interwoven in neat, deliberate lines, this piece is shaped into a compact form with pronounced, three-dimensional shadow and depth.

The exterior is fully adorned with intrecciato—an emblematic motif of the brand—quietly communicating that it is BOTTEGA VENETA through the woven leather itself, without placing hardware or large logos on the front. The refined lattice pattern formed by successive fine leather bands is beautifully uniform, while the piece’s expression subtly changes depending on how the light falls, adding rich depth to its all-black palette.

Though compact and easy to slip into the palm, the interior features multiple card slots and a compartment for organizing banknotes. In addition, by incorporating a coin case with a gusset, it naturally consolidates the everyday essentials you need. The coin case can be secured with a snap button, making it easy to store contents safely, and its practical layout allows each storage area to be viewed intuitively even when opened.

In contrast to the intricately woven exterior, the interior is finished with smooth black leather. By unifying different finishes in the same color, the design maintains a sense of decoration while achieving a calm, understated impression. Along the edges, fine stitching is applied, and the folded sections are given an appropriate degree of flexibility—so you can experience both the quality of the leather and the ease of handling it as a daily necessity.

Considering the BOTTEGA VENETA MADE IN ITALY imprint on the interior, the traditional dark-brown-toned packaging, and a storage structure closely resembling those associated with model numbers in the 121059 range, this item can be placed among those produced under the Tomas Maier era in the 2010s. With no logo positioned externally, the design lets the brand be recognized solely through the quality of the materials and the craftsmanship—clearly reflecting the discreet luxury BOTTEGA VENETA promoted at the time.

We especially recommend it for those who seek beauty in both materials and structure even in a small wallet, and for anyone who wishes to elevate everyday sophistication through the feel of what you touch, rather than relying on decorative brand logos. Its appeal also lies in the fact that it can be incorporated for a long time without being limited by gender or styling.

By all means, take this opportunity.
