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 are the measurements of the Medium Rockstud Spike? A: Approximately 23 cm (W) × 16 cm (H) × 7 cm (D). The top handle drop is around 10 cm and the sliding chain strap provides a shoulder/crossbody drop noted in the Measurements on this page. Minor variation is normal between editions.
Q: How can this bag be worn? A: It is designed to be carried by the top handle, worn on the shoulder (by doubling the chain), or crossbody with the sliding chain. Both the chain strap and the handle are detachable for versatility.
Q: What typically fits inside the Medium? A: Daily essentials such as a large smartphone, long wallet, keys, slim sunglasses in a soft pouch, and a small cosmetics case. It is not designed for tablets or A5 notebooks. Capacity will vary depending on how you pack—please refer to the Measurements for exact sizing.
Q: What is the leather and finish on the hardware? A: The Rockstud Spike is crafted in supple nappa lambskin with a quilted construction and pyramid studs in a platinum- or gold-tone finish, depending on the edition.
Q: Is the chain strap removable and adjustable? A: Yes. The chain is a detachable, sliding design so you can wear it long as a single strap or doubled for a shorter shoulder length. The top handle is also detachable on this model.
Q: How secure is the closure? A: The flap fastens with a twist/turn-lock closure for quick but secure access to your essentials.
Q: Any tips to care for the leather and studs on a vintage piece? A: Wipe the leather with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry immediately; avoid oils, harsh cleaners, and prolonged sunlight or moisture. Store lightly stuffed in a breathable dust bag to preserve the quilting, and avoid overfilling which can compress the padding. With wear, light impressions from the studs on the inner flap and fine hairline scratches on hardware are considered normal signs of use. Take care around dark denim and delicate fabrics to minimise colour transfer or snags.
Q: Do the studs tarnish or feel sharp? A: The studs have a smooth, plated finish; they should not feel sharp in normal use. As with any plated hardware, finish can show micro-scratches over time. Avoid abrasive contact and wipe with a soft cloth after use to help maintain the shine.
Q: How do you authenticate this model? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is vetted by experts using multi-point checks of materials, stitching, quilting alignment, stud shape, hardware engraving/finish, and interior branding. For your own review, look for consistent stitching, clean heat stamps, correct stud proportions, and quality zippers/snaps—contact us if you would like additional photos.
Q: What items are included with this piece? A: Everything included is listed under the product information on this page. For this item, a detachable shoulder strap is included; if a dust bag or other items are not listed there, they are not included.
