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 fits inside the Valentino Rockstud Spike Medium? A: The Medium Rockstud Spike is perfectly proportioned for daily essentials. It comfortably holds a large smartphone (such as an iPhone Pro Max), a compact wallet or cardholder, keys, lipstick, and a small cosmetics pouch. While it is spacious for its size, a full-length continental wallet may be a tight fit depending on the bag's structure and other contents. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for precise dimensions.
Q: Can I wear it crossbody? A: Yes, this model is designed for versatility. It typically features a detachable strap that allows for shoulder or crossbody wear, alongside a top handle for hand carry. The strap drop is listed in the Measurements section—if you need further fit advice for this specific piece, please contact us.
Q: What material is this bag made from? A: The Rockstud Spike is typically crafted from soft, quilted Lambskin Nappa leather. This material is incredibly luxurious and supple, giving the bag a sophisticated yet slightly slouchy structure. It is punctuated by Valentino’s signature pyramid Rockstuds in gold-tone hardware.
Q: How do I care for the Nappa leather and studs? A: Lambskin Nappa is delicate and can be prone to scratches or pressure marks. Avoid contact with abrasive surfaces, moisture, and oils. When storing, we recommend placing the bag upright in its dust bag. To prevent the studs from leaving impressions on the leather, you may wish to place a soft cloth or felt between the flap and the body of the bag.
Q: How secure is the closure? A: The flap is secured with a reliable twist-lock (turn-lock) closure, ensuring your belongings are safe while offering easy access. The interior also features a red zipped pocket for securing smaller valuables.
Q: Is the bag heavy due to the hardware? A: While the Rockstuds add a high-quality feel and a reassuring weight, the bag is generally considered comfortable for all-day wear. The lightweight Nappa leather helps balance the metal embellishments.
Q: What is the interior layout? A: This piece features a luxurious black leather lining. Inside, you will find the line's signature red zipped pocket, providing a pop of colour and a secure space for cards or keys.
Q: Where are the brand markings located? A: Authentic Valentino Rockstud Spike bags typically feature a brand stamp on the back or inside the bag, and the hardware is often engraved. The interior red pocket is a hallmark of this specific model. We are happy to provide close-up photos of these details on request.
Q: How do you authenticate this item? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by our in-house experts. We examine the leather quality, stitching consistency, stud finish and placement, hardware engravings, and internal serial codes. We stand behind the authenticity of every piece we sell.
Q: What accessories are included? A: Any included items (such as the dust bag or brand booklets) are listed under the “Accessories” section. If an item is not mentioned there, it is not included—feel free to contact us for confirmation.
