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 Raffia Canapa Tote? A: With approximate measurements of 40 × 25 × 21 cm, it comfortably holds a 13-inch laptop, A4 documents, long wallet, phone, small cosmetics pouch, 500 ml water bottle, sunglasses case and keys. A slim 15-inch laptop may fit depending on its case and how you pack. For the best guidance, compare your items to the Measurements on this page.
Q: Can I wear it crossbody as well as on the shoulder? A: The bag has dual rolled leather handles and a detachable strap with an approximate 50 cm drop. This works well for shoulder carry and may sit high when worn crossbody depending on your height and preference.
Q: Is raffia durable enough for everyday use? A: Raffia is a strong yet lightweight natural fibre. It’s suitable for regular use with care, but it is more prone to snagging and abrasion than coated canvas or full‑grain leather. Avoid overloading and keep it away from rough surfaces to maintain the weave.
Q: Is the bag water‑resistant? A: No. Natural raffia is sensitive to moisture and prolonged sun. Keep it out of rain; if it gets damp, blot gently and let it air‑dry in a ventilated place away from heat and direct sunlight. Some owners choose to use a fabric‑safe water‑repellent spray—if you do, test on a discreet area first.
Q: How do I clean the raffia exterior? A: Remove dust with a soft brush or lint‑free cloth. For light marks, dab (don’t rub) with a slightly damp cloth and a drop of mild soap, then wipe with clean water and allow to air‑dry. Do not soak, bleach or use harsh chemicals.
Q: How do I look after the canvas lining? A: Take care to keep liquids closed and avoid items that could leak or stain. Clean only with a dry, soft cloth; targeted wet cleaning of the lining is not recommended.
Q: Does it have a closure and pockets? A: Yes. It features a top magnetic snap closure. Inside, there is one zipped pocket and two slip pockets to help organise everyday essentials.
Q: What comes with this item? A: Please refer to the product information section. For this piece, it includes a dust bag, luggage tag, detachable shoulder strap and certificate card. If an item is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: How should I store the bag when not in use? A: Empty and lightly stuff it with tissue to help retain its shape. Store in a breathable dust bag in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and humidity. Avoid pressing it tightly against other items to prevent deformation and colour transfer.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this bag? A: Every item is rigorously vetted by our in‑house experts through multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, stamps and hardware. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide further details on request.
