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 Tool 2.0? A: With approximate measurements of 29 × 22 × 11.5 cm, it’s ideal for daily essentials: a large smartphone, continental wallet, keys, slim sunglasses in a soft case, wireless earbuds, an A5 diary/notebook and a small cosmetics pouch. A 500 ml water bottle can usually stand upright. Capacity can vary slightly by size and production run—if you’d like, we can perform a tailored fit check for this exact piece.
Q: Will it fit an iPad or A4 documents? A: Standard tablets (e.g., iPad/iPad Air/11-inch iPad Pro) typically fit comfortably without a bulky case. A4 documents (29.7 × 21 cm) generally do not lie fully flat due to the 29 cm height and the structured, north–south silhouette/open top. Compare your device to our Measurements or ask us to test it in this exact bag.
Q: Can I wear it crossbody and is the strap adjustable? A: Yes. This item includes a detachable, adjustable shoulder strap (approx. 57 cm drop at the longest setting) for shoulder or high crossbody wear, plus a single top handle for hand or crook‑of‑arm carry. Exact drop on you will depend on your height and preferred setting—message us for fit advice.
Q: How secure is the closure and what is the interior layout? A: The Tool 2.0 features an open‑top design with a foldable upper edge for easy access. Inside is a tonal suede lining and a matching detachable zipped pouch to secure smaller valuables. For commuting or travel, we recommend keeping the bag upright and using the pouch for essentials.
Q: Does the Tool 2.0 have feet or a reinforced base? A: Many Tool 2.0 versions include a reinforced bottom panel and metal feet to help the bag stand and protect the base. Details can vary by size and season—please refer to our photos for the exact configuration of this piece.
Q: What materials and finish does this piece have, and where is it made? A: This bag is crafted in burgundy grained calfskin with gold‑tone hardware and a tonal suede‑lined interior. It is labelled Made in Italy. Natural variations in grain and gentle signs of use are normal for pre‑loved leather.
Q: How should I care for the grained leather, suede lining and hardware? A: Keep the bag away from moisture, oils and prolonged sunlight; be mindful of colour transfer from dark denim onto lighter clothing/leather. Wipe the exterior with a soft, dry cloth; condition smooth/grained calfskin very sparingly after testing on a discreet area. For the suede lining, gently brush out dust with a clean suede brush. Store upright, lightly stuffed, in a breathable dust bag; avoid hanging by the strap long‑term and pad hardware to minimise hairline scratches.
Q: Is the Balenciaga Tool 2.0 still produced? A: Tool 2.0 styles continue to appear in current seasonal collections and at selected retailers, though colours, sizes and hardware options vary by season and may sell out. The pre‑loved market is the best route for specific colours like this burgundy.
Q: Where are the brand markings and codes typically found? A: Authentic Balenciaga bags have an interior leather logo tag (or plate, depending on era) with BALENCIAGA branding; on or behind this tag you’ll usually find an embossed style/serial code. On many modern Balenciaga bags a letter within the code references season/year. Placement and format can vary—ask us for close‑ups of this exact piece.
Q: What accessories are included and how is authenticity guaranteed? A: For this listing we include: detachable shoulder strap and matching detachable zipped pouch (see “Accessories”). If an item isn’t listed there, it isn’t included. Every piece at A Retro Tale undergoes rigorous multi‑point authentication by our in‑house experts, assessing materials, stitching, hardware, stamps/codes and overall construction—we stand behind the authenticity of every item we sell.
