Perfect for summer city breaks, market runs and beachside lunches, this vintage Balenciaga Raffia Panier shopper, crafted in two‑tone woven raffia with black leather trim and silver‑tone hardware, is in very good condition. Dual rolled leather top handles and an open top make it an effortless grab‑and‑go tote for warm‑weather days.
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 Balenciaga Raffia Panier Shopper Tote? A: With approximate dimensions of 33 × 39 × 18 cm, it comfortably holds A4 documents or a 13-inch laptop in a slim sleeve, a long wallet, phone, sunglasses, a small cosmetics pouch, and a 500 ml water bottle. The open-top design benefits from a bag organiser if you prefer added structure and separation.
Q: Does this style have a top closure? A: It is an open-top tote without a zip or flap closure. Please refer to the product information for pocket details; this piece includes an attached leather-framed mirror and a small pouch as noted there.
Q: Can it be worn on the shoulder? A: The Panier is designed primarily for hand or crook-of-arm carry via dual rolled leather top handles. With an approximate handle drop of 14 cm, most will find shoulder carry snug. There is no detachable shoulder strap included; check the product information for what is included.
Q: How durable is raffia for daily use? A: Raffia is a lightweight, resilient natural fibre ideal for warm-weather use. Like any woven material, it can abrade if rubbed against rough surfaces or when overloaded. Treat the weave with care and avoid carrying very heavy items to preserve the basket-like structure.
Q: Is the bag water-resistant? A: Natural raffia is not waterproof. Light splashes are usually fine if dried promptly, but avoid rain and prolonged moisture. If the bag gets wet, gently blot with a clean towel and allow it to air-dry away from direct heat or sunlight.
Q: How should I clean and care for the bag? A: Dust the raffia weave with a soft brush or microfibre cloth. For minor marks, use a barely damp cloth and dab gently—do not soak. Condition only the leather trim with a suitable leather product; avoid oils or cleaners on the raffia itself. Always let the bag dry naturally after spot-cleaning.
Q: How do I maintain its shape when not in use? A: Store upright, loosely stuffed with acid‑free tissue in a breathable dust bag. To refresh the weave, very light, indirect steam can help reactivate raffia’s natural resins; keep steam away from the leather trim and allow the bag to cool and dry fully before storing.
Q: Will the weave snag delicate clothing? A: The raffia surface is generally smooth, but any woven bag can catch on very fine knits or lace. Take care with delicate fabrics and consider placing such garments away from contact points when carrying the tote.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed in the product information. For this piece, an attached leather-framed mirror and a small pouch are included. If an item (such as a dust bag) is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by in-house experts through multi-point checks of materials, stitching, hardware and brand markings. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide further details on request.
