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 this Miu Miu woven hobo bag? A: With approximate measurements of 40 × 30 × 14 cm, it comfortably holds everyday essentials such as a long wallet, phone, keys, cosmetics pouch, sunglasses case, a small water bottle, an A4 notebook or documents, and even a slim 13-inch laptop in a protective sleeve. Capacity will vary based on how you pack—please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions and pack accordingly.
Q: Is it a shoulder bag and will it fit over a coat? A: Yes. It has dual braided top handles with an approximate 25 cm drop, designed for comfortable shoulder carry. Most customers find this drop works well on bare arms and over light outerwear; bulky winter coats may feel snug depending on build and layering.
Q: How secure is the open top, and any tips for use? A: This model has an open top with a zipped interior pocket for valuables. For added security and organisation, many users add a medium purse organiser or use zipped pouches to group smaller items. In crowded places, carry it with the opening towards your body and zip valuables inside the interior pocket.
Q: How do I care for the woven leather exterior? A: Wipe gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth to remove surface dust, then dry immediately. Use a small amount of a colourless leather conditioner on a clean cloth a few times per year—sparingly, so product doesn’t collect between the weave. Avoid harsh chemicals and prolonged sunlight or heat. Keep the bag away from abrasive surfaces that could snag the weave.
Q: Will the braided handles or weave stretch over time? A: Real leather will naturally soften with use and may stretch slightly under heavy loads, especially at handles. To minimise stretching, avoid overfilling, rotate what you carry, and store the bag stuffed and supported rather than hanging by the handles for long periods.
Q: What’s the best way to store this bag when not in use? A: Empty the bag, gently shape it with acid-free tissue or a soft pillow insert, and place it in a breathable dust bag. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Do not hang it by the handles; lay it flat or stand it upright on a shelf to help preserve the silhouette and handle integrity.
Q: There is a light vintage odour—how can I reduce it safely? A: Air the bag in a cool, shaded, well-ventilated area. You can place odour absorbers like activated charcoal sachets or a small open sachet of bicarbonate of soda near (not directly on) the leather inside the bag for 24–48 hours, then remove and repeat if needed. Avoid spraying perfume or using strong cleaners directly on the leather.
Q: Is the leather water-resistant? A: Smooth leather is not fully water-resistant. If caught in light rain, gently blot (don’t rub) with a soft dry cloth and allow it to air dry away from heat sources. Consider a leather protector formulated for smooth leather to add light repellency, and avoid getting the bag soaked.
Q: Does this item come with any accessories? A: No. This piece is sold without accessories. Everything included is listed under the Accessories section; if an item like a dust bag or card isn’t listed there, it is not included.
Q: How do you authenticate this Miu Miu bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by our in-house experts using multi-point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, logos, and maker markings appropriate to the production era. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide additional photos or details on request.
