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 is the “pony hair” on this Prada bag made from? A: Pony hair (also called calf hair or hair‑on‑hide) is typically cowhide or goat hide with the hair preserved and then finished with a print. It is not taken from ponies. This bag features a zebra print on hair‑on hide with brown leather trim.
Q: How should I care for the zebra pony hair exterior? A: Gently brush in the direction of the hair with a soft, clean bristle brush to lift dust. Avoid friction from rough fabrics (for example denim seams), sharp surfaces and heavy rubbing. Keep away from oils, cosmetics and solvents. If it gets damp, blot with a soft cloth and allow to air‑dry away from heat, then brush once dry. Do not use standard leather creams or untested waterproofing sprays on hair‑on‑hide. Store stuffed and in its dust bag in a cool, dry place.
Q: Will the hair shed or develop bald spots over time? A: Some light hair loss with use is normal, particularly on corners and high‑contact areas. Rotating the bag, minimising rubbing, and brushing only in the direction of the nap will help reduce wear. Prolonged pressure or abrasion can cause thinning over time.
Q: Can I use this bag in wet weather? A: It is best to avoid heavy rain. Hair‑on‑hide can handle light moisture but water combined with rubbing may lead to matting or hair loss. If exposed, blot gently, allow to dry naturally away from heat sources, and only brush once fully dry.
Q: What typically fits inside? A: With approximate internal capacity based on 36 × 23 × 7 cm and a zip‑top closure, it comfortably holds a long wallet, smartphone, sunglasses case, keys and a small cosmetics pouch. Slim A4 documents or an 11‑inch tablet may fit horizontally depending on case size. Please compare the measurements with your items for certainty.
Q: Is it comfortable on the shoulder? A: The dual rolled handles have an approximate 16 cm drop, so it can be carried by hand, in the crook of the arm, or on the shoulder over light layers. Handle comfort will vary by build and clothing thickness.
Q: Does it come with a shoulder strap? A: This model is designed to be carried by its dual rolled handles and does not include a detachable shoulder strap. All included items are listed under Accessories for clarity.
Q: What accessories are included with this item? A: This piece comes with a dust bag and an authenticity card. If an accessory isn’t listed under Accessories on this page, it is not included.
Q: How do you authenticate this Prada bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes multi‑point checks by our in‑house experts, assessing materials, stitching, hardware, logo plaques and interior stamps, and comparing with known brand standards and documentation. Authentic Prada bags commonly feature high‑quality, consistently finished hardware and branded zips, correct logo plaques, and may come with a white plastic authenticity card in English and Italian completed at purchase. Please note an authenticity card alone does not prove authenticity; we stand behind our vetting process and are happy to provide further details on request.
Q: How should I store the bag to preserve the hair and shape? A: Lightly stuff with acid‑free tissue to support the silhouette, place in a breathable dust bag, and store upright away from direct sunlight, heat and humidity. Avoid stacking or compressing it under heavier items, and brush the hair in one direction before longer storage.
