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 Alaïa Mina 20 Bag? A: With measurements of approximately 20 x 17 x 10 cm, this bag is best suited to compact daily essentials such as a phone, cardholder, keys, lipstick, sunglasses and a small wallet. The detachable pouch is useful for organising smaller items, but it is not designed for larger items such as a tablet or laptop.
Q: How can this bag be carried? A: This Mina 20 features dual top handles and a detachable, adjustable shoulder strap. It can be carried neatly by hand or worn on the shoulder, making it a versatile option for both day and evening use.
Q: What is the Mina 20 known for? A: The Mina is one of Alaïa’s signature bag lines, recognised for its sculptural small tote shape and intricate laser-cut leather work. This version combines white leather with silver-tone hardware for a crisp, architectural look.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This pre-loved piece comes with the items listed in the product information for this specific bag: a dust bag, detachable zipped pouch, detachable shoulder strap and mirror.
Q: What is the inside of the bag like? A: The interior is lined in brown leather and includes a detachable zipped pouch for smaller valuables. This gives the bag a refined finish while helping to keep essentials organised.
Q: How should I care for white laser-cut leather? A: White leather should be handled with extra care, especially around dark fabrics, oils, rain and rough surfaces that may cause transfer or marks. Wipe gently with a soft dry cloth, store it in the dust bag when not in use, and keep it lightly stuffed to help maintain its shape. For deeper cleaning, specialist leather care is recommended.
Q: What is the condition of this particular bag? A: This item is in very good pre-loved condition. There are minor scratches on the exterior, light traces of use inside, and the hardware remains shiny with light surface scratches.
Q: Where was this bag made? A: The country of origin label states Italy, which is consistent with the craftsmanship and production associated with Alaïa Mina bags.
Q: Is the Alaïa Mina 20 a practical everyday bag? A: Yes, if you prefer a compact luxury bag for essentials rather than a large carryall. It works well for everyday outings, lunches, dinners and events, but its smaller size means it is best for light packing rather than all-day bulk.
