Q: What typically fits inside this Prada Tessuto Messenger Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 25 × 22 × 7 cm, it comfortably holds a phone, small wallet, keys, sunglasses case, compact umbrella, charger and a small tablet/e‑reader (such as an iPad mini). It does not fit A4 documents flat or a 13-inch laptop. For best results, compare your items to the Measurements on this page.
Q: Is Prada’s Tessuto nylon water-resistant? A: Yes, Tessuto nylon is known for being durable and water-resistant, helpful for light rain and everyday use. It is not fully waterproof, so avoid soaking and wipe dry promptly after exposure to moisture.
Q: How should I clean and care for Tessuto nylon with leather trim? A: Wipe the nylon gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth and a little mild soap if needed, then blot and allow to air-dry away from heat and direct sunlight. Avoid harsh chemicals, bleach or alcohol. Nourish leather trim sparingly with a neutral leather conditioner. For stubborn marks or deep cleaning, we recommend a professional bag care service.
Q: How secure is the closure on this style? A: The bag has a flap with velcro for quick, secure access, plus an internal zipped pocket to protect smaller valuables. In crowded spaces, wearing the flap facing your body adds extra peace of mind.
Q: Can the strap be worn crossbody and is it adjustable? A: Yes, the single strap is adjustable for shoulder or crossbody wear. Please refer to the Measurements for the listed strap length and adjustability.
Q: Is this messenger bag unisex? A: Absolutely. The clean, utilitarian design and adjustable strap make this Tessuto messenger a versatile choice for any wardrobe.
Q: How do you authenticate this Prada bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously authenticated by our in‑house experts. Typical Prada hallmarks include precise logo fonts, an enameled triangle logo, high‑quality stitching, branded hardware, and on many styles a jacquard logo lining. Vintage pieces may not include a card; authenticity is confirmed by construction and material checks rather than paperwork alone. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed in the product information. If a dust bag, authenticity card or box is not listed there, it is not included. Feel free to contact us if you would like us to confirm the contents.
Q: What should I know about the condition of this piece? A: This item is in very good pre‑owned condition with light wear to leather details and corners, slight fraying around the zip, a small hole and marks on the lining, and light scratches to the hardware. Please review all photos and the Condition notes for full details.
Q: Where is this bag made? A: The country of origin label states Italy.
