Perfect for sun‑lit weekends, this pink raffia Loewe Mini Font Tote elevates garden parties, rooftop drinks and seaside escapes. In very good condition, it slips easily over the shoulder via the detachable strap or can be hand‑carried by the raffia handles. The open, unlined interior keeps small essentials within easy reach.
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 Mini Raffia Font Tote? A: With approximate dimensions of 20 × 16.5 × 7 cm, it comfortably holds daily essentials such as a smartphone, small cardholder or compact wallet, keys, lipstick and slim sunglasses. A long continental wallet or a water bottle is unlikely to fit. Capacity depends on how you pack—please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact sizing.
Q: Can I wear it crossbody and is the strap adjustable? A: Yes. The Mini Font Tote can be hand‑carried by the dual top handles or worn on the shoulder/crossbody using the detachable, adjustable leather strap. Typical strap drop for this size sits around the 50–56 cm range; this item’s strap drop is approximately 55 cm.
Q: Does the mini size have a closure or internal pockets? A: The Mini Font Tote has an open top and an unlined interior, keeping the silhouette light and easy to access. The mini size typically does not include an internal pocket.
Q: Will it fit a large smartphone (for example, an iPhone Pro Max)? A: Yes, most large smartphones fit within the 20 × 16.5 cm frame. The 7 cm depth and open top make access easy, though adding a slim pouch can help organise contents.
Q: How durable is raffia and will it fray or snag? A: Natural raffia is lightweight yet strong for everyday light use. Because it’s handwoven from natural fibres, slight variations and occasional stray fibres are normal. Avoid overloading and contact with abrasive surfaces. If a fibre lifts, trim carefully with small scissors rather than pulling. Store the bag lightly stuffed in its dust bag to help maintain shape.
Q: Can raffia get wet—what should I do if it’s caught in rain? A: Avoid water and high humidity. If the bag becomes damp, blot gently with a soft, dry cloth and allow it to air‑dry at room temperature away from direct heat or sunlight. Prolonged sun exposure may fade the colour.
Q: Can colour transfer occur? A: As with many fashion materials and dyes, slight colour transfer is possible—especially with friction and in humid conditions. Take care when wearing the bag against dark denim or equally intense colours, and store it separately from light‑coloured items.
Q: What is it made from and where was it produced? A: The Mini Font Tote combines handwoven raffia with leather strap details and silver‑tone hardware. It is made in Spain using raffia palm leaves traditionally handwoven by artisans in Madagascar, resulting in each piece having a unique, summery texture.
Q: What accessories are included with this listing? A: This piece comes with a dust bag, brand booklets and a detachable shoulder strap. Items included are always listed under Accessories; if it isn’t listed, it isn’t included.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this item? A: Every item is examined by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks across materials, weave, stitching, hardware, brand markings and overall construction. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and are happy to share additional details on request.
