Bottega Veneta Vintage Black Intrecciato Braided Handle Boston Bag

 The Tanpopo says

Love this rare vintage Bottega Veneta boston bag with braided top handle, cute braided zipper charm, and an additional shoulder strap. I haven't seen a vintage Bottega quite like this one. It gives such a classic and sleek look!

Both the top handle strap and shoulder straps are detachable, so when you want or carry on the shoulder, simply add the longer strap and leave the shorter strap in its original place, it'll fit both.

The leather has a soft luster to it, differ from their usual neutral finishing on soft nappa leather. Since the form is more relaxed, I see it great for both casual and more dressy time depending on how your outfits are.

One big compartment inside the bag means you can fit a lot in it. I recommend using a bag liner to keep the form and up right at all times, and avoid messing with the cotton lining.

A timeless and versatile Bottega style that's hard to find now for sure :)
