Perfect for daily commutes and city errands, this vintage Miu Miu Ivy tote in brown leather with gold-tone accents lends understated polish to tailored workwear or relaxed denim. In very good condition, its slim profile makes it an elegant companion for meetings, gallery visits, or weekend brunch.
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 Miu Miu Ivy Tote Bag? A: With measurements of approximately 35 × 31 × 2 cm and one open main compartment, it comfortably holds A4 documents, a 13-inch laptop or large tablet, a long wallet, phone, keys and a small pouch. Slim 14-inch devices may also fit without a padded sleeve—please compare your device’s dimensions to the measurements listed.
Q: Does it close securely? A: This Ivy Tote has an open top with one main compartment. For added security, keep valuables in a zipped pouch or a removable bag insert and carry the tote with the opening facing you in crowded areas.
Q: Can I wear it on the shoulder? A: Yes. The dual top handles have an approximate 30 cm drop, making it comfortable to wear over the shoulder on light layers.
Q: What is the leather like and how should I care for it? A: The Ivy line is commonly crafted in smooth calf leather with a soft hand. Expect light surface marks with normal use; these can often be gently buffed with a soft, dry cloth. Keep away from oils, dyes and prolonged sunlight, avoid heavy rain, and if it gets wet, blot and air-dry. Store it loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag and use a neutral leather conditioner sparingly a few times a year.
Q: Will it work as a work bag—does it fit a laptop? A: Yes, most 13-inch laptops fit given the 35 cm width and 31 cm height. Slim 14-inch models may fit, but bulky protective sleeves can be tight due to the sleek 2 cm depth. If in doubt, measure your device against the bag’s measurements.
Q: Is this the same as the current Ivy bag sold by Miu Miu? A: The Ivy is an ongoing line released over multiple seasons in various materials (leather, canvas, raffia, crochet) and sizes. Details and interiors can vary by season. This piece is a vintage leather tote with an open top, one main compartment and beige canvas lining—please rely on the measurements and product information on this page for specifics.
Q: What items are included with this listing? A: The product information indicates no additional items are included. When new, many Miu Miu bags originally came with a branded dust bag and an authenticity card, but vintage pieces may no longer retain these.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is thoroughly vetted by our in-house experts using multi-point checks of materials, stitching, logo stamps, hardware engravings and interior labels. For Miu Miu, consistent logo typography, clean embossing, high-quality hardware and neat construction are key indicators. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and are happy to provide further details on request.
Q: How do I keep the beige canvas lining clean? A: Gently vacuum with a clean brush attachment or wipe with a slightly damp, lint-free cloth. For small marks, use a mild fabric cleaner sparingly and test on an inconspicuous area first. Storing pens and cosmetics in pouches helps prevent transfer or spills.
