Refurbished 70s Vintage Bottega Veneta Mahogany Glazed Calfskin Shoulder Bag

What a delightful piece of Bottega Veneta history!  Made from the richest of glazed dark chocolate impossibly soft calf or deer skin, its small size is deceptive thanks to the gusseted sides that allow it to expand to three time its depth.  The strap is designed to be worn as a shoulder or as a wristlet thanks to the ingenious leather covered snaps. Simple and timeless in design, this is real treasure to own and to wear!
