Q: What typically fits inside the Prada Jacquard Crossbody Bag?
A: With approximate dimensions of 24 × 17 × 2 cm and two zipped compartments, it comfortably holds a large smartphone, a slim card holder or small wallet, keys, and a few small essentials such as lip balm or receipts. It will not fit an iPad mini or a water bottle.

Q: Is the strap adjustable and suitable for crossbody wear?
A: Yes. The single flat strap is adjustable, with an approximate drop of 52 cm at its longest setting. This suits most users for shoulder or crossbody wear. The strap is not designed to be detached.

Q: Are any items included with this bag?
A: Please refer to the product information on this page for exactly what is included. For this listing, no additional items are included unless specifically stated in the product information.

Q: What is the condition of this piece?
A: Very good overall. There is scuffing on the corners; the interior shows light traces of use; and the gold‑tone hardware remains shiny with light scratches. Please review the photos for the best view of wear.

Q: What is the bag made from and how should I care for it?
A: It features beige jacquard fabric with black leather trim and gold‑tone hardware. Gently brush away dust, then spot clean the jacquard with a slightly damp, soft cloth and a tiny amount of mild soap if needed. Avoid soaking, scrubbing, or harsh chemicals. Allow to air‑dry away from heat. Nourish leather trim sparingly with a quality leather conditioner and keep the bag stored stuffed (to hold shape) in a breathable dust bag, in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight.

Q: Is jacquard fabric water‑resistant?
A: Jacquard is a woven fabric and is not fully water‑resistant. Try to avoid heavy rain; if it becomes wet, blot gently with a soft cloth and allow to air‑dry naturally. If you choose to use a fabric protector, test first on a discreet area.

Q: Will the light colour be prone to colour transfer from denim or dark clothing?
A: Light fabrics can pick up dye transfer, especially from dark denim when there is friction or moisture. Reduce prolonged rubbing against dark garments, avoid contact when clothing is damp, and wipe away any fresh transfer promptly. For stubborn transfer, consult a reputable handbag care specialist.

Q: Where was this bag made, and does that affect authenticity?
A: The label states Romania. Prada manufactures leather goods in Italy as well as in select European locations including Romania. Country of origin does not diminish authenticity or quality; authenticity is determined by brand‑specific construction and details.

Q: How does A Retro Tale verify authenticity?
A: Every item is rigorously authenticated by our in‑house experts using a multi‑point process that examines materials, stitching, logo stamps, lining, hardware engravings and finish, and factory/production tags where present. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and are happy to provide further details on request.

Q: Are the compartments secure?
A: Yes. This model features two main compartments with zip closures to keep your essentials secure during daily wear.
