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 Loewe Mini Raffia Font Tote Bag? A: With approximate dimensions of 20 x 14 x 6.5 cm, this mini tote is best for compact essentials such as a phone, card holder, keys, sunglasses and a lipstick. It is not designed for larger items like a tablet, long continental wallet, water bottle or laptop.
Q: Can this bag be carried by hand, on the shoulder or crossbody? A: Yes. It has dual top handles with an approximate 13 cm drop, plus a detachable adjustable shoulder strap with an approximate 56 cm drop. That gives you the flexibility to carry it by hand or wear it on the shoulder or crossbody, depending on your height and preference.
Q: Does the bag have a zip or other closure? A: No. This style has an open top and an unlined interior. If you prefer more organisation or discretion, a slim pouch inside can be a practical addition for smaller valuables.
Q: Is this a good everyday bag? A: It works well for light daily essentials, especially in warmer months, but it is best suited to outings, holidays, lunches and day-to-evening wear rather than heavy everyday loads. Its mini size and raffia construction are more suited to lighter packing.
Q: How durable is raffia, and should I expect fraying over time? A: Raffia is lightweight and durable for careful use, but it is a natural fibre, so slight fraying, softening and shape changes can happen with wear. This pre-owned piece already shows slight discolouration and fraying, which is consistent with normal use and the nature of the material.
Q: How should I care for this raffia bag? A: Store it in the dust bag, avoid prolonged direct sunlight, heat, moisture, oils and perfumes, and do not overfill it so it keeps its shape. If it gets damp, gently dab it with a soft cloth and let it dry naturally at room temperature.
Q: What condition is this item in? A: The overall condition is good. The exterior is slightly discoloured and frayed, the interior shows light traces of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This piece comes with a dust bag and a detachable shoulder strap. All included product information is listed on this page; if something is not noted there, it should not be assumed to be included.
Q: Where was this bag made? A: This piece carries a Spain country-of-origin label.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully vetted by in-house experts using multi-point checks of materials, construction, hardware, branding details and overall consistency. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell.
