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 this tote? A: With approximate dimensions of 31 × 20 × 13 cm, it comfortably carries a long wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses, small cosmetics pouch, a compact umbrella, and a small water bottle. An 11-inch tablet can fit; most 13-inch laptops are not recommended for this height. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact sizing.
Q: Does it come with a shoulder strap? A: This is the classic handheld style with dual woven top handles and an open top. The handle drop is approximately 13 cm, ideal for hand or crook-of-arm carry rather than crossbody or long-shoulder wear.
Q: Is raffia durable enough for everyday use? A: Raffia is lightweight yet robust when properly woven. It performs best with light-to-moderate daily essentials. To prolong its life, avoid overloading, keep weight balanced, and minimise abrasion against rough surfaces that can cause snags.
Q: Can I use it in the rain or at the beach? A: Raffia is not waterproof. Avoid heavy rain and do not soak the bag. If caught in a light drizzle, blot moisture immediately, reshape, loosely stuff, and air-dry away from heat or direct sun. At the beach, keep it away from wet sand and saltwater, and use pouches to protect contents.
Q: How do I clean and maintain raffia? A: Dust with a soft brush or cloth. For marks, gently spot-clean using a slightly damp cloth with a drop of mild soap, then wipe with clean water and allow to air-dry. Do not submerge, machine-wash, or use harsh chemicals/solvents. Store stuffed to help maintain shape.
Q: Is the bag lined and does it have pockets or a closure? A: Yes. It features black jacquard lining with one internal zip pocket and an open-top design. We recommend using a small organiser or pouch for loose items.
Q: How should I store it between seasons? A: Empty and loosely stuff with acid-free tissue, then store in a breathable dust bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and humidity. Avoid hanging by the handles to prevent distortion.
Q: What is included with this purchase? A: Everything included is listed under the product information on this page. For this listing, a dust bag is included.
Q: How do you authenticate this Prada bag, and will it have a chip or card? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully authenticated by our specialists. Some modern Prada leather goods feature an integrated NFC tag, while many vintage pieces do not. Authenticity cards are issued at the original point of sale but may be absent on pre-owned items; their absence does not affect authenticity at A Retro Tale.
Q: Where was this piece made? A: The label indicates Italy.
