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 Woven Raffia Basket Tote? A: With approximate measurements of 32 × 22 × 12 cm, it comfortably holds daily essentials such as a long wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses case, a small water bottle, a compact umbrella, and a small tablet or e‑reader. Capacity varies with how you pack and whether you use the removable drawstring pouch.
Q: Does this bag have a closure and is it secure for everyday use? A: The tote has an open top for easy access and comes with a removable canvas drawstring pouch to keep smaller items secure and out of sight. Many users keep valuables in the pouch and larger items in the main compartment for convenience.
Q: Is a shoulder strap included and how can the bag be carried? A: Yes. According to the product information, this piece includes a detachable, adjustable leather shoulder strap (approx. 100 cm). It also features dual leather top handles for hand or crook‑of‑arm carry, so you can switch between handheld, shoulder, or crossbody depending on preference.
Q: How durable is raffia and can I use this in light rain? A: Raffia is lightweight and resilient for everyday summer wear, but it is not water‑resistant. Avoid rain and moisture which can cause the fibres to soften or warp. If it gets slightly damp, blot gently with a clean cloth and allow it to air‑dry away from direct heat or sunlight.
Q: What are the best care tips for a raffia bag? A: Brush off dust with a soft, dry brush; spot‑clean marks with a barely damp cloth and a touch of mild soap if needed; never soak; let it air‑dry naturally. Do not overload the bag, avoid contact with oils/sunscreen, and store it stuffed to shape in a breathable dust bag in a cool, dry place.
Q: Will the woven surface snag or fray with use? A: Natural raffia can catch on rough surfaces. Minimise friction against embellished or coarse fabrics, avoid placing it on abrasive ground, and trim any minor flyaways carefully with small scissors—do not pull loose fibres. The leather trim can be conditioned lightly with a suitable leather cream if it looks dry (avoid contact with the raffia).
Q: Is this bag suitable for the beach or holidays? A: Yes, it is a popular warm‑weather tote. For beach days, keep it out of direct water contact and shake out sand before storing. Use the included drawstring pouch to protect smaller items from sand and to organise essentials.
Q: Does Miu Miu use serial numbers, and how is authenticity verified? A: Miu Miu bags typically feature interior branding and may include a small internal label or reference code rather than a traditional serial number. Exact placement and format can vary by model and year. Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously authenticated by our in‑house experts before listing.
Q: Where is this item made? A: The country‑of‑origin label states Italy.
