Short answer
A Bottega size chart is only worth reading if the numbers line up with the real bag. For the Jodie, Cassette, Pouch, Andiamo, and Loop lines, the chart should match published width, height, depth, and handle or strap drop within about half an inch. Once a chart is off by an inch or more in any direction, the proportions change and the bag hangs wrong. Depth and handle drop are the two figures that get fudged most, and they are the two that decide how the bag actually sits on your shoulder.
What to compare on any Bottega size chart
Four numbers matter, and a fifth if the style has a strap.
Fake Bottega Bag Size Guide Measurements: What You Need to Know
- Width across the body at its widest point, not including handles.
- Height from the base seam to the top edge of the opening.
- Depth at the gusset. This is where a flat, lifeless copy shows up first.
- Handle drop on Jodie and Loop, or strap drop on Cassette and Andiamo.
- Base width on anything meant to stand up on its own, like Andiamo.
The Jodie tiers
Jodie is the line people ask about most, partly because the tier names are easy to mix up. It is a soft woven hobo with a knotted handle, so depth and drop do most of the work. Approximate published sizes:
Bottega Bag Fake Size Guide: What Is Accurate
- Mini Jodie: about 11 x 8 x 3 in (28 x 20 x 8 cm). Phone, card case, lipstick. Handle drop is short.
- Teen Jodie: about 14 x 9 x 4 in (36 x 22 x 10 cm). The jump most people want.
- Small Jodie: about 16 x 9 x 5 in (40 x 24 x 12 cm).
- Medium Jodie: about 17 x 11 x 6 in (44 x 28 x 15 cm).
- Large Jodie: about 21 x 13 x 7 in (54 x 34 x 18 cm).
Season to season the brand nudges these by a few millimeters, so treat them as bands, not gospel. If you are arguing with a seller over a quarter inch, check the current product page first.

Side by side, the honest version
If you line up Mini Jodie against Mini Cassette, the widths are close and the depth is not: the Jodie runs deeper and slouches, the Cassette stays rigid and flat. Small Jodie against Medium Andiamo is a different story, since Andiamo keeps its shape and needs real base width to stand. That is why a chart with one number for every style tells you nothing.
The figures sellers get wrong most
- Depth. Charts often list 2 in when the gusset measures closer to 3 in. A shallow bag will not slouch the same way.
- Handle drop on Jodie. Too long and it reads like a shoulder bag instead of a wrist carry.
- Strap drop on Cassette and Andiamo. Listed as adjustable when the real range is fixed.
- Base width on Andiamo. Skip it and the bag tips forward the moment you set it down.
A three minute check before you commit
- Pull up the product page for that exact model and tier.
- Screenshot the spec block. It lists dimensions in both cm and inches.
- Convert anything you need with cm times 0.3937.
- Compare the seller chart line by line and flag every gap over half an inch.
- Ask for one photo of the bag beside a tape measure at the base. It is the fastest way to see whether the listed numbers are real.
Red flags on a size chart
- Only one dimension listed, usually width.
- Identical numbers for Mini and Small tiers.
- The same rounded figures, like 12 x 8 x 4, copied across every style.
- No handle or strap drop anywhere on the page.
- Centimeters converted wrong. 30 cm is 11.8 in, not 13 in.
A note on the legal side
Counterfeit handbags are illegal to sell in the US and shipments can be seized at the border. That does not change the sizing math. If you are comparing a chart against a bag you already own, or checking a resale listing for a model that is out of production, the same four numbers apply.
