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 are the dimensions and how can it be carried? A: The Medium Bonnie measures approximately 30 × 13 × 12 cm. It has dual rolled top handles with about a 23 cm drop and a detachable, adjustable shoulder strap with an approximate 60–80 cm drop, allowing comfortable shoulder or crossbody wear for most heights.
Q: What typically fits inside this bag? A: Daily essentials such as a smartphone, long (continental) wallet, keys, sunglasses in a slim case, small make-up pouch, and an A6 diary or cardholder fit comfortably. Due to the 13 cm height, it does not accommodate an iPad mini or A5 notebook upright and is best suited to compact items.
Q: Is the shoulder strap detachable and can I use a different strap? A: Yes. The Bonnie includes a removable strap that attaches with clasps. You can swap to a compatible third-party strap if you prefer a different length or look; just match the hardware style and width to avoid wear on the D‑rings.
Q: How should I care for the patent leather finish? A: Patent leather has a coated, high‑gloss surface that is relatively easy to wipe clean but needs gentle care. Use a soft, slightly damp microfibre cloth to remove smudges; avoid alcohol, acetone, or harsh solvents. Keep away from heat sources and prolonged sun exposure, which can soften the coating and invite scuffs or imprint marks. Store loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag to maintain its shape.
Q: Can patent leather become sticky? How do I prevent it? A: In warm or humid conditions, some patent leathers can develop a tacky film as the coating reacts to heat and moisture. Prevent this by storing the bag in a cool, dry place, never in plastic, and avoiding contact with other patent/PVC items. If mild tackiness appears, gently clean with a damp cloth or a cleaner formulated for patent leather; for persistent issues, seek a leather specialist.
Q: Is colour transfer a concern with black patent leather? A: Colour transfer is a known risk with patent finishes. While black shows it less than light colours, dyes from denim or heavily pigmented fabrics and printed materials can still mark the surface. Minimise rubbing against dark, unwashed textiles; if transfer occurs, address it promptly with a patent‑safe cleaner or a professional service.
Q: Can I use the bag in the rain? A: Patent leather is more water‑resistant than many leathers and can handle light drizzle. Wipe it dry promptly with a soft cloth and allow it to air dry away from heat. Avoid heavy rain or soaking, as water can still enter through seams and potentially affect the lining and structure.
Q: What accessories are included with this specific item? A: This piece comes with an authenticity card. If an item such as a dust bag or box is not listed under Accessories, it is not included.
Q: How do you authenticate this Prada bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes a multi‑point inspection of materials, stitching, hardware, logos, interior tags, and overall construction. Authentic Prada bags typically include a plastic authenticity card with model details and may have a small white factory code tag inside. We stand behind the authenticity of all items and are happy to provide further details on request.
