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 Bora Bora MM pouch? A: With a flat profile and approximate measurements of 29 × 21 × 0.5 cm, it comfortably holds an A5 notebook, passport, smartphone, slim wallet, keys, and a small cosmetics kit. It also works well for travel documents and receipts. For best results, avoid over‑stuffing to maintain the shape.
Q: Is this the MM size? How does it compare to other Bora Bora pouch sizes? A: Yes, this is the MM. The Bora Bora pouches are commonly found in three sizes: PM (around 22 × 16 cm), MM (around 29 × 21 cm), and GM (around 35.5 × 26 cm). Exact measurements can vary slightly by production run; please refer to the Measurements on this page for this piece.
Q: Does the Bora Bora pouch have interior pockets or lining? A: The Bora Bora pouch is designed for simplicity with one main compartment and no additional pockets. Interiors are canvas. This minimalist build keeps it lightweight and easy to slip into larger bags.
Q: What is the material and hardware on this pouch? A: It is crafted from sturdy cotton canvas with tan leather details and a top zip featuring silver‑tone hardware. This combination is durable yet refined for daily use or travel.
Q: Can I use it as a clutch or only as an organiser? A: It is versatile enough to be carried as a casual clutch for errands or dinner, and equally practical as an organiser inside a larger tote or travel bag.
Q: Is the canvas water‑resistant? A: Cotton canvas is resilient but not waterproof. Light rain is usually fine if wiped off promptly, but avoid soaking. Allow any moisture to air‑dry naturally away from direct heat. Consider storing liquids (like cosmetics) in smaller leak‑proof pouches inside.
Q: How should I care for the canvas and leather details? A: For canvas, gently wipe with a soft slightly damp cloth; a tiny drop of mild soap can help with surface dirt. Avoid bleach, harsh chemicals, or machine washing. For leather pulls or tabs, wipe dry after contact with moisture and avoid conditioners on the canvas. Store in a breathable dust bag, loosely filled to help the pouch keep its shape, and keep away from prolonged direct sunlight.
Q: Will dye transfer be an issue with this colour? A: As with most canvas, especially lighter or saturated tones, colour transfer from dark denim or fresh dyes can occur. Minimise friction against new or non‑colour‑fast textiles and rotate placement inside your bag to reduce rubbing.
Q: Does it come with a wrist strap or D‑rings for a shoulder strap? A: No. The Bora Bora pouch is a hand‑carry, flat zip pouch without D‑rings. Many owners use it inside a tote or carry it as a simple clutch.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under product information for this listing. For this piece, a box is included. If you have any questions about contents, our team will be happy to help.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this item? A: Every piece is vetted by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and overall construction. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can share further details on request.
