Ideal for weekday commutes and weekend outings, Acne Studios’ Musubi Midi in brown leather brings modern Scandinavian elegance. Signature knotted sides and silver‑tone accents feel polished for the office, while the roomy interior and adjustable shoulder strap keep essentials organised from desk to dinner.
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 are the measurements and how much does it hold? A: The Musubi Midi is approximately 35 × 35 × 16 cm. The structured silhouette with a central zipped divider gives two main sections for organisation. It comfortably fits a large mobile, long wallet, makeup pouch, small water bottle, diary/ebook reader and similar daily essentials. For exact sizing, please refer to the Measurements on this page.
Q: Will it fit a 13-inch laptop or an iPad? A: Tablets and smaller laptops may fit, but capacity depends on the device and case. Some owners report a 13-inch laptop is a snug fit or better without a sleeve due to the central divider and curved sides, while others find it too tight. We recommend measuring your device against our listed dimensions and allowing room for the divider and closure.
Q: How is the interior laid out and how does it close? A: Inside, there are two main compartments separated by a zipped pocket divider for secure storage, plus additional slip/zip sections depending on the edition. The bag closes with a magnetic snap at the top for quick access while keeping items in place.
Q: Is the strap adjustable and can I wear it crossbody? A: The Musubi Midi features an adjustable shoulder strap designed primarily for shoulder carry. Depending on your height and preference, some wearers can style it high crossbody, but its proportions and strap are optimised for shoulder use.
Q: What is it made from and where is it crafted? A: The exterior is smooth, matte calf leather with leather lining, finished with Acne Studios’ signature side knots inspired by Japanese obi sashes. The Musubi line is crafted in Italy with a refined, minimal logo detail and silver‑toned hardware on this piece.
Q: Is the leather prone to scratches? A: The matte calf leather is durable and holds up well with normal use, though any smooth leather can develop light surface marks over time. Minor rubs can often be gently buffed with a soft cloth; avoid abrasive contact and overfilling to help maintain the shape and finish.
Q: How should I care for the leather? A: Wipe with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture, oils, or direct sunlight. If needed, test a neutral leather cream on a hidden area first, as treatments may slightly alter the shade. Store lightly filled in a cool, dry place in a breathable dust bag to preserve the structure.
Q: Does this item come with extras? A: New retail Musubi bags are typically supplied with a dust bag, but as this is a pre‑owned piece, everything included with this specific item is listed in the product information on this page. If an item isn’t listed there, it is not included.
Q: Is it comfortable for all‑day wear? A: Yes, the soft‑structured body and wide strap help distribute weight on the shoulder. As with any medium‑to‑large bag, overall comfort depends on how much you carry and how you adjust the strap length.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag and what is the condition? A: Every piece at A Retro Tale is carefully authenticated by our in‑house experts using a multi‑point inspection of materials, stitching, hardware and brand markings. This item is in Excellent condition with light traces of use; the hardware is shiny with light scratches, and the interior is clean, as noted in the product information.
