Ideal for back-to-office days, client meetings and business travel, this vintage dark brown Intrecciato Bottega Veneta laptop case carries a 16-inch device with effortless polish. Understated and refined, it complements minimalist workwear and lends quiet luxury to your commute.

Q: Will this case fit a 16-inch laptop (for example, a MacBook Pro 16)?
A: The usable space is close to the listed measurements of 35 × 25 × 2 cm. Many current 16-inch laptops measure around 35.6 × 24.8 cm, so width is likely too tight for a comfortable, safe fit. As a rule of thumb, allow at least 0.5–1 cm of clearance on width and height for easy slide-in/out. Please compare your device’s dimensions to the case measurements before purchasing.

Q: Which laptops does it suit best?
A: Slim 13–14-inch notebooks and some compact 15-inch ultrabooks typically fit well, provided their footprint is under approximately 34.5 × 24 cm. If your device is close to 35 cm wide, it may be too snug. Always measure your laptop and allow a little clearance.

Q: Will an iPad Pro 12.9 fit inside?
A: Yes. The iPad Pro 12.9 (6th gen) is about 28.1 × 21.5 cm and fits comfortably within the 35 × 25 cm interior, with room for flat documents.

Q: Is the case padded or rigid enough for drops?
A: This is a soft leather laptop case with a fabric lining and a slim profile. It offers light surface protection against scratches but is not a rigid, drop-protection shell. If you need extra shock absorption, consider pairing it with a thin sleeve or device skin inside.

Q: Does it have a strap or handle?
A: No. This vintage zip-around style is designed to be carried under the arm or slipped inside a larger bag or briefcase.

Q: What exactly is included with this item?
A: Everything included is listed under the product information section on this page. For this piece, no additional items are listed.

Q: What are the condition notes I should be aware of?
A: Very Good overall. There is scuffing to the corners and some fading on the leather; the lining shows some stains. Hardware remains shiny with light scratches. Please refer to the photos for a close-up view.

Q: How should I care for the Intrecciato leather?
A: Wipe gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth after use; avoid overloading and prolonged rubbing against coarse fabrics to prevent abrasion on the woven strips. Keep away from direct heat and intense sunlight to minimise colour fade. If conditioning is needed, use a high-quality leather product sparingly and patch-test first, or consult a specialist leather care service. Store stuffed with acid-free tissue in a breathable dust bag to maintain shape.

Q: Is the leather water-resistant?
A: Leather is not waterproof. Avoid heavy rain; if it gets wet, blot (do not rub) with a soft cloth and allow it to air dry naturally, away from heat sources. Water-repellent sprays can alter colour and finish—always test on a discreet area first or seek professional advice.
