Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.
Q: What typically fits inside the Burberry Nova Check Tote Bag? A: Based on the approximate measurements (W 47 × H 26 × D 11 cm), it comfortably holds A4 documents, a 13-inch laptop in a sleeve (carried horizontally), a water bottle, long wallet, phone, keys and a small cosmetics pouch. For a 15-inch laptop or bulky items, please compare your device to the measurements on this page.
Q: Can I wear it on the shoulder? A: The handle drop is around 12 cm, so it is best carried by hand or in the crook of the arm. Some may be able to wear it on the shoulder with light layers, but expect a snug fit.
Q: What is the material and is it water-resistant? A: This tote is crafted from coated check canvas with beige leather trim and silver-toned hardware. Coated canvas is light and durable and offers resistance to light rain; however, it is not fully waterproof. Wipe the surface dry promptly after exposure to moisture.
Q: How should I clean and care for the bag? A: For coated canvas, wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth and a little mild soap if needed, then dry with a clean cloth. Avoid alcohol, acetone, bleach and abrasive cleaners. Care for the leather trim with a neutral leather cream sparingly, and buff gently. Store the bag loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag, away from direct heat and sunlight.
Q: Does it have a closure or internal pockets? A: This version has an open top and one main compartment with black nylon lining. For added privacy and organisation, you may use a removable bag organiser or a zipped pouch inside.
Q: Is this an authentic vintage Burberry piece? A: Yes. Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully authenticated by our in-house specialists using multi-point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and overall construction. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell.
Q: Where would I find a serial or style number on a Burberry bag, and do all bags have one? A: Many Burberry bags feature a small leather tag inside with a style or serial code, though placement varies by model and era, and some vintage items may not have one. Codes alone are not definitive—authenticity is assessed from the bag as a whole. Our team can advise further on request.
Q: What is Nova Check? A: Nova Check is a larger-scale version of Burberry’s signature check that became especially prominent in the 1990s and 2000s and remains part of the brand’s heritage. This piece showcases a red variation of the pattern.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed in the product information on this page. For this piece, a brand booklet is included. Items such as a dust bag or card are only included if stated in the product information.
