Perfect for polished day-to-night dressing, this ecru Acne Studios Musubi Tote complements work meetings, gallery visits and dinner reservations alike. The medium silhouette and signature knot details add understated edge, pairing effortlessly with tailored separates or weekend denim.
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 can the Musubi Medium Tote hold day to day? A: With approximate measurements of 38 × 26 × 18 cm, it comfortably fits A4 documents, a tablet, a long wallet, a small water bottle and a compact umbrella. Slim 13–14 inch laptops typically fit in a sleeve; larger 16 inch devices may be a close fit due to the 26 cm height, so please compare your device to the measurements provided.
Q: Can I wear it on the shoulder or crossbody? A: Yes, it can be handheld by the dual top handles (approx. 14 cm drop) or worn on the shoulder via the strap (approx. 22 cm drop). The strap length is best suited to shoulder carry rather than crossbody on most frames.
Q: How secure is the opening? A: The bag closes with a magnetic snap. For daily use it feels secure, but it is not a full zip-top design. Keep small valuables in the internal zipped compartment or a pouch when travelling or in crowded areas.
Q: How is the interior organised? A: Inside you’ll find a spacious main compartment with a leather lining and one zipped pocket for essentials. The clean interior makes it easy to use pouches to organise smaller items.
Q: What is the leather like and how does it wear? A: The Musubi line is crafted from smooth, high‑quality leather designed to hold its sculptural shape while softening slightly with wear. Users often report the leather resists light day‑to‑day scuffs and the signature side knots keep their structure well with normal use.
Q: Any care tips for the ecru colour? A: Wipe gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid alcohol-based cleaners and harsh chemicals. Use a colourless leather cream sparingly after a patch test, and consider a protective spray formulated for light leathers. Minimise contact with dark denim or saturated fabrics to reduce colour transfer. Store the bag stuffed to maintain shape, in a breathable dust bag, away from direct heat and sunlight.
Q: Do the Musubi knots loosen over time? A: The side knots are a fixed design element inspired by the Japanese obi sash. They are constructed to stay in place and, with normal handling, should maintain their shape without loosening.
Q: Where is this bag made? A: This specific piece is labelled Made in Italy, consistent with the Musubi line’s premium craftsmanship.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information on this page. If no extras are listed there, the bag is sold as shown. You’re welcome to contact us for clarification before purchase.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously inspected by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of leather, construction, hardware, heat stamps and branding. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and are happy to provide additional photos or details on request.
