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: Is this an actual handbag or just a protective dust bag? A: This is an actual Balenciaga bag designed in a dust-bag-inspired silhouette. It is made from black crinkled leather with silver-tone hardware, so it functions as a compact everyday bag rather than a storage pouch.
Q: What typically fits inside the Medium Shopper Dust Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 27 x 26 x 2 cm, it is best suited to slim essentials such as a smartphone, cardholder or small wallet, keys, sunglasses, passport, and a few small personal items. It is not ideal for bulkier items such as a tablet, water bottle, or large purse.
Q: Can this bag be worn on the shoulder or crossbody? A: The bag has a single adjustable strap with a listed strap measurement of 50 cm. It should sit comfortably on the shoulder for most people, and may also work as a shorter crossbody depending on your height and preferred fit.
Q: What is the leather like on this style? A: This design uses black crinkled leather, giving it the soft, slightly distressed texture Balenciaga is known for. The gently wrinkled finish is part of the design and gives the bag a relaxed, lived-in character rather than a rigid structure.
Q: Is this type of leather delicate? A: Crinkled lambskin is soft and supple, so it is best treated with reasonable care. Light creasing, surface marks, and natural variation can develop with use, which is normal for this kind of leather and often part of its appeal.
Q: How should I care for this bag? A: Wipe it gently with a soft, dry cloth and keep it away from rain, prolonged sunlight, heat, and harsh cleaning products. Because dark leather can sometimes transfer colour, avoid rubbing it against very light fabrics, and store it lightly stuffed when not in use to help preserve its shape.
Q: What condition is this item in? A: This piece is listed in very good pre-owned condition, with light traces of use both externally and internally. The hardware remains shiny with light scratches, which is consistent with gentle wear.
Q: What is included with the item? A: This listing includes a booklet. Anything else not specifically mentioned in the product information should be assumed not to be included.
Q: How do you verify authenticity? A: At A Retro Tale, pre-owned designer items are checked by in-house experts before being listed. Authentication is assessed through details such as materials, construction, hardware, branding, and overall consistency with the model.
