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 in this Balenciaga Ville bag with these measurements (26 × 21 × 12 cm)? A: It comfortably holds daily essentials such as a smartphone, long wallet, keys, sunglasses, hand sanitiser, and a small cosmetics pouch. Thanks to the 26 cm width, it can also fit most compact tablets like an iPad mini or a 330 ml water bottle, depending on the case and how you pack. For exact capacity, please refer to the Measurements and photos on this page.
Q: Can it be worn crossbody as well as by hand? A: Yes. It has dual top handles for hand or crook-of-arm carry and a detachable, adjustable shoulder strap with a drop of up to approximately 55 cm, allowing shoulder or crossbody wear on most builds. The handle drop is about 10 cm for comfortable handheld use.
Q: How secure and organised is the interior? A: The top zip closure keeps belongings secure, and the dome opening provides good visibility. The interior is finished in black leather. Pocket layouts can vary by season and edition, so please review the photos for the exact configuration of this piece.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed in the product information. For this piece, the product information notes a detachable shoulder strap, a padlock with keys, and a clochette. If an item (such as a dust bag) is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: How does the white grained leather wear in everyday use? A: Grained leather is generally resilient and helps disguise light surface marks, but white leather is more prone to visible dirt and colour transfer from darker fabrics. Regular gentle cleaning and mindful pairing with dark denim or freshly dyed garments will help keep it looking its best.
Q: How should I care for and clean white grained leather? A: Wipe routinely with a soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth. For deeper cleans, use a pH-balanced leather cleaner sparingly and follow with a colourless leather protector suitable for finished leather. Avoid alcohol, baby wipes, acetone, and magic erasers, which can strip finish or cause yellowing. Always test products on an inconspicuous area first and store stuffed in a breathable dust bag away from heat and direct sunlight.
Q: Is this bag made in Italy? A: Yes. The country-of-origin label for this piece indicates Italy.
Q: How do you authenticate this Balenciaga bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is thoroughly vetted by our in-house experts. Checks include the leather quality and grain, heat-stamped branding, interior tag and serial details, stitching, hardware finish and engravings, zip quality, and overall construction. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can share additional verification photos on request.
Q: What is the condition of this specific item? A: Very good overall. The exterior shows minor stains and small scuffs on some corners; the interior shows a light trace of use. Hardware remains shiny with light scratches. Please review all photos and the condition notes for a closer look.
