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 MIU MIU Crystal Embellished Madras Bag? A: At approximately 18 x 12 x 4 cm, this is a compact bag that will generally fit a phone, card holder, keys, lipstick and a few slim essentials. It is better suited to light day-to-evening carry than bulkier items such as a large wallet, sunglasses case or water bottle. Capacity can vary slightly depending on the shape of your belongings, so please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.
Q: Can this bag be worn on the shoulder or crossbody? A: This piece includes a detachable shoulder strap measuring approximately 57 cm, making it well suited to shoulder or close-to-the-body wear. Whether it works as a true crossbody will depend on your height and preferred drop.
Q: What is the bag made from? A: This vintage Miu Miu bag is crafted in blue leather with gold-tone hardware, a tonal lining and a flap closure finished with crystal and faux pearl embellishment. The Madras line is typically associated with a refined textured look that gives the bag structure and definition.
Q: Is this bag more suitable for everyday use or evening wear? A: Its compact size and embellished flap make it especially well suited to dinners, events and occasion wear, though it can also add a polished touch to daytime outfits when you only need the essentials.
Q: What condition is this bag in? A: The overall condition is Very Good. The exterior shows light traces of use with minor scuffs, the interior has light signs of wear, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches. As with all vintage items, small signs of age are normal and part of the bag’s character.
Q: What product information are included with this item? A: This bag comes with the product information listed on this page: a dust bag, detachable shoulder strap and authenticity card. If any additional item is not listed there, it should not be assumed to be included.
Q: How should I care for the leather and crystal embellishment? A: Handle the bag gently and avoid overfilling it so it keeps its shape. Keep it away from prolonged heat, direct sunlight, oils, perfume and rough surfaces, and store it in its dust bag when not in use. Because of the crystal and faux pearl detail, take extra care to avoid knocks, pressure and snagging against clothing or jewellery.
Q: How do I know the bag is authentic? A: This item has been professionally authenticated by A Retro Tale. In general, Miu Miu authentication involves reviewing the leather quality, logo and hardware details, interior labels and overall construction, while any included card is treated as supporting product information rather than the only proof of authenticity.
Q: Where was this bag made? A: The country of origin label states Italy, which is consistent with this bag’s luxury construction and Miu Miu heritage.
