The Bottega Veneta Jodie comes in Mini (about 28 x 23 x 8 cm), Small (36 x 21 x 13 cm), and Classic (40 x 48 x 16 cm, height including the knotted handle). Bottega renamed the line in 2025 — the former Teen Jodie is now the Small, and the former Small is now the Classic — so always match the centimetre measurements, not the label.
The Bottega Veneta Jodie is the house’s rounded, slouchy hobo, recognised by its knotted intrecciato handle and woven lambskin body. It is one of Bottega’s defining modern silhouettes, and its size line trips up more buyers than almost any other bag — because the names changed in 2025.
Size at each tier
| Size | Dimensions (W x H x D) | Handle drop | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mini | 28 x 23 x 8 cm | 10 cm | Evening, essentials-only |
| Small (formerly Teen) | 36 x 21 x 13 cm | 18 cm | Day-to-night, everyday carry |
| Classic (formerly Small) | 40 x 48 x 16 cm | 30 cm | Roomier shoulder carry, soft slouch |
The height includes the knotted handle, which is why the Classic Jodie reads 48 cm tall — the body itself is smaller than that number implies. The knot is structural, not decorative: it is the handle, so the whole bag hangs from a single point and the intrecciato collapses inward when the bag is not full. A half-empty Jodie looks smaller and softer than its measurements suggest.
The 2025 renaming you should know about
This is the single most useful thing to know before shopping a Jodie. Bottega renamed the line in 2025: the former Teen Jodie is now the Small Jodie, and the former Small Jodie is now the Classic Jodie. The bags did not change — only the labels did. On resale sites you will still see the old names, so ignore the label and match the centimetre measurements instead. A listing that says “Small Jodie” could be either size depending on when it was written.
Which size to choose
- Mini — a genuine evening bag with a daytime alibi. At about 28 cm across it holds phone, cards, and lipstick, carried by the knot in the hand or on a short shoulder drop.
- Small — the size most people actually want. The step up from the Mini is bigger than the names suggest: roughly 10 cm wider and an 18 cm handle drop that clears the shoulder properly.
- Classic — the roomiest, with a 30 cm handle drop and the most relaxed slouch. It is a true shoulder bag, best for everyday capacity with a lived-in feel.
Jodie vs Cassette at a glance
Both are intrecciato bags, but they carry very differently. The Jodie is a rounded hobo that hangs from a knotted handle; the Cassette is a boxy, padded crossbody in the oversized Maxi weave with an adjustable strap that tucks inside to become a clutch. If you want soft shoulder carry with room, pick the Jodie. If you want a structured crossbody, pick the Cassette (about 23 x 15 x 6 cm).
What photos can and cannot prove
Photos can confirm the knotted handle, the intrecciato weave, and the rounded hobo shape. What they cannot confirm is the Jodie’s true size, because its slouch and handle-included height make it look very different from its centimetre numbers. Send the model and size on WhatsApp and ask for a measurement photo and a shot of the bag held against the body before you commit.
Bottom line
For most buyers the Small Jodie is the pick — the easiest day-to-night size with a shoulder drop that actually clears the shoulder. Go Mini for evenings, Classic for a roomier everyday shoulder bag.

Frequently asked questions about the Bottega Veneta Jodie bag
- What are the Bottega Veneta Jodie bag sizes?
- Three current sizes: Mini (about 28 x 23 x 8 cm), Small (36 x 21 x 13 cm), and Classic (40 x 48 x 16 cm). The Mini is an evening bag, the Small is the everyday day-to-night size, and the Classic is the roomy shoulder bag with the most slouch.
- Why did the Jodie sizes get renamed in 2025?
- Bottega Veneta renamed the Jodie line in 2025. The former Teen Jodie became the Small Jodie, and the former Small Jodie became the Classic Jodie. The bags themselves did not change size — only the names — so ignore the label and match the centimetre measurements when comparing listings.
- Which Jodie size is best for daily use?
- The Small Jodie is the one most people want. At about 36 cm wide with an 18 cm handle drop it clears the shoulder properly and holds a full daily load, while still moving between hand, arm, and shoulder carry.
- Does the Jodie have a shoulder strap?
- No long strap. The Jodie hangs from its knotted intrecciato handle only, so it is carried by the knot in the hand or on the shoulder. It is not a crossbody bag. The knot is the handle, which is why the bag slouches inward when it is not full.
- Can photos tell me which Jodie size a listing is?
- Photos can show the knotted handle and the rounded hobo shape, but the Jodie's slouch and its handle-included height make the sizes hard to tell apart at a distance. Ask for a measurement photo and a shot of the bag held against the body before you commit.
