From gallery openings to dinner dates, the Burberry Mini TB in black grained leather with gold‑tone hardware brings polished ease. The adjustable shoulder strap and TB monogram clasp make it effortless for chic, hands‑free wear, while the compact interior with one pocket fits just the essentials. A refined companion for evenings when you need elegance without bulk.
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 Burberry Mini TB Shoulder Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 17 × 12.5 × 5.5 cm, it comfortably holds everyday small essentials such as a standard smartphone, compact cardholder or small wallet, keys, lipstick, and travel‑size hand sanitiser. A full‑length continental wallet is usually too long; a compact wallet is recommended.
Q: Can I wear it crossbody as well as on the shoulder? A: Yes. This piece has a single adjustable flat strap (approx. 52 cm drop), so it can be worn on the shoulder or as a crossbody depending on your height and preferred drop.
Q: How does the TB clasp open and close, and is it secure? A: The TB monogram works as a flip‑lock. To open, gently pull the TB logo to release the clasp; to close, align the logo and press until it clicks. It’s designed to feel secure in daily use.
Q: What does the TB monogram stand for? A: TB refers to Thomas Burberry, the house founder. The monogram clasp was introduced under Riccardo Tisci and developed in collaboration with British graphic designer Peter Saville.
Q: What materials is this bag made from? A: It is crafted from black grained leather with gold‑tone hardware and a black leather lining. Inside, there is one internal pocket. This example was made in Italy.
Q: Will a large smartphone fit (e.g., Pro/Plus/Max models)? A: Most large smartphones fit horizontally without a bulky case. If you use a thick case, please compare your phone’s dimensions with the bag’s internal space and allow room for other items.
Q: Is the strap removable? A: This configuration features a fixed, adjustable leather strap and is not designed to be removed.
Q: How should I care for the grained leather and hardware? A: Wipe the leather with a soft, dry cloth after use; if needed, lightly dampen and dry naturally away from heat. Use a quality leather conditioner sparingly a few times per year, avoid overfilling, and store stuffed with acid‑free tissue inside a breathable dust bag. Keep hardware away from abrasive surfaces to minimise hairline scratches.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed in the product information. For this piece, a box and dust bag are included.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by in‑house experts through multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, stamps and hardware details. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can share additional product information on request.
