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 Prada Saffiano Cuir Monochrome Bag? A: With dimensions of approximately 18 × 26 × 15 cm, it comfortably carries a smartphone (including many Pro/Max models, though very bulky cases can be snug), a compact wallet or cardholder, keys, sunglasses in a soft case, a small cosmetics pouch, and an A5 diary/notebook placed horizontally. Capacity can vary slightly by edition—please refer to the Measurements on this page or contact us for a tailored fit check for this exact piece.
Q: Will it fit a tablet or laptop? A: A standard 11-inch tablet or a 13-inch laptop is typically too large for this size. Slim e‑readers or mini tablets may fit without a bulky case. For certainty, compare your device’s dimensions with the Measurements shown or ask us to perform a quick fit test for this item.
Q: Is the strap adjustable, and can I wear it crossbody? A: This piece features dual rolled handles and a detachable shoulder strap. The strap is generally not adjustable; our listing indicates a strap drop of around 40 cm, which usually wears as a shoulder or high crossbody on most people. If you’d like an exact drop measurement for your height, just ask and we’ll confirm.
Q: How secure is the closure and what pockets does it have? A: Layouts can vary slightly by season. This specific bag has a tonal lining with two interior pockets (see our photos for the exact configuration). For added security when commuting, keep small valuables in a zipped pouch inside and avoid overfilling to maintain alignment and structure.
Q: What is Prada Saffiano leather and what does “Monochrome” mean? A: Saffiano is a premium, cross‑hatched calf leather known for its structure and resistance to light scratches. “Monochrome” refers to the bag’s cohesive, tone‑on‑tone aesthetic—branding and details are designed to harmonise with the leather colour. Specific hardware finishes can vary by edition; our listing and photos show the exact finish on this piece.
Q: How should I care for Saffiano leather, especially in red? A: Keep the leather away from moisture, oils and prolonged sunlight. Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth; condition smooth leather sparingly with a high‑quality neutral product (test first on a discreet area). Be mindful of colour transfer from dark denim and other fabrics. Store lightly stuffed, upright, in a breathable dust bag, and avoid resting straps or handles against the leather to prevent imprints.
Q: How does the hardware wear, and how can I minimise marks? A: Gold‑tone hardware can develop hairline scratches and gentle fading with normal use, particularly on vintage pieces. To minimise wear, avoid rubbing against abrasive surfaces, and store with a soft cloth protecting the hardware. Small surface marks are common and part of the character of pre‑loved items—please review our close‑ups for this bag’s hardware condition.
Q: Where are the Prada brand markings and codes located? A: Authentic Prada bags typically feature an interior logo plaque and “Prada Made in Italy” heat‑stamp; many have Prada jacquard textile linings. Some pieces include a small production tag or code inside. Placement and format can vary by era and style—contact us if you’d like close‑up photos of the markings on this exact item.
Q: Is the Saffiano Cuir Monochrome still produced? A: Availability has varied over the years, and many specific editions are no longer offered in boutiques. The pre‑loved market is the best way to find particular colours and configurations like this one.
Q: What accessories are included and how do you authenticate? A: This model is designed with dual handles and a detachable shoulder strap; any additional items (e.g., dust bag, authenticity card) will be listed under “Accessories.” If an accessory isn’t mentioned there, it isn’t included—feel free to ask us to confirm. Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes rigorous, multi‑point authentication by our in‑house experts, assessing materials, stitching, hardware, stamps/codes and overall construction. We stand behind the authenticity of every piece we sell.
