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 Prada Tessuto Shoulder Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 31 × 24 × 5 cm, it comfortably holds daily essentials such as a long wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses case, small cosmetics pouch and a compact umbrella. A4 documents can be placed horizontally, and an 11-inch tablet fits easily. A slim 13-inch laptop may fit horizontally without a padded sleeve, but please compare your device with the measurements and allow clearance for the zip opening.
Q: Is the strap adjustable and how does it sit on the shoulder? A: The bag features dual flat leather shoulder straps with an approximate 23 cm drop. The straps are not adjustable and are designed to sit comfortably on the shoulder, including over light outerwear.
Q: Is Prada Tessuto nylon water-resistant? A: Yes, Tessuto nylon is known for being durable and water-resistant, offering good protection against light rain and splashes. However, the bag is not fully waterproof, and the leather trim and seams should be kept away from prolonged moisture.
Q: How should I clean and care for Tessuto nylon with leather trim? A: Wipe the nylon gently with a soft cloth slightly dampened with lukewarm water and a drop of mild soap, then blot dry. Spot-clean marks carefully and avoid soaking, harsh chemicals, abrasive scrubbing or machine washing. Nourish the leather trim sparingly with a suitable colourless conditioner, and keep the bag away from direct heat or strong sunlight.
Q: Can this bag be worn crossbody? A: No. This is a classic shoulder style with fixed shoulder straps and no long crossbody strap or dedicated attachment points.
Q: What is Prada Tessuto nylon? A: Tessuto is Prada’s signature double-woven nylon introduced in the late 1970s. It is lightweight yet strong, has a subtle sheen and is prized for its resistance to daily wear and ease of maintenance.
Q: How is this Prada bag authenticated? A: Each item at A Retro Tale is vetted by in-house experts via multi-point checks of materials, stitching, logo plaque, hardware, jacquard lining and model-specific details. Many Prada bags also feature a small white quality-assurance tag stitched into an interior seam, and authentic pieces may include an authenticity card. Newer Prada items can incorporate an embedded NFC chip used by the brand for product verification.
Q: What is included with this listing? A: The product information for this specific piece lists an authenticity card. If a dust bag or any other items are not specified there, they are not included.
Q: Will it fit documents or a laptop for work? A: It fits A4 documents when placed horizontally and easily carries an 11-inch tablet or e-reader. A slim 13-inch laptop may fit without a padded sleeve, but due to the bag’s slim depth and zip-top design, it will be a close fit—please check your device against the measurements.
Q: Any condition notes to be aware of on this vintage piece? A: External condition is very good with visible scuffing on the leather corners; the interior is very good with a light trace of use; hardware is shiny with light scratches. Please review the photos and product information for full details.
