Miu Miu Ivy Tote Bag

Q: What typically fits inside the Miu Miu Ivy Tote?
A: Based on the listed measurements (approx. 35 × 32 × 1 cm), it comfortably carries A4 documents, a tablet or slim 13-inch laptop in a thin sleeve, a wallet, phone and small pouch. Bulky items like water bottles or camera cases may be tight due to the slim depth. We recommend comparing your device to the Measurements on this page.

Q: Does the bag have a closure, and is it secure for daily use?
A: This Ivy Tote features an open top with one main compartment. For added security and organisation, many owners use a zip pouch or bag organiser inside and keep valuables in a smaller zipped case when commuting.

Q: How is it carried and what is the strap drop?
A: It has dual shoulder straps designed for shoulder or hand carry. The handle drop is approximately 30 cm, providing a comfortable fit over light layers.

Q: Will it fit a laptop?
A: It suits a slim 13-inch laptop or tablet. Larger or thicker laptops may not sit comfortably given the tote’s slim depth. Measure your device and compare with the bag’s width and height for certainty.

Q: Is the Ivy Tote structured or slouchy?
A: The Ivy is a soft, unstructured shopper-style tote. It has a relaxed silhouette that molds slightly to contents rather than standing rigid on its own.

Q: What is it made from?
A: This piece is crafted in Italy from cream leather with gold-tone hardware and a beige canvas lining, and it has one main compartment as shown in the product photography and details.

Q: How should I care for the light cream leather and prevent colour transfer?
A: Keep the leather dry, avoid contact with dark denim or freshly dyed fabrics, and wipe gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth when needed. Consider a handbag-safe protective spray (test first on an inconspicuous area). Store stuffed in a breathable dust bag, away from direct sunlight and heat, to maintain shape and colour.

Q: What is included with the purchase?
A: Everything included is listed under product information. If extras such as a dust bag or card are not listed there, they are not included. Feel free to contact us if you would like us to confirm the contents.

Q: How do you authenticate this bag?
A: Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully vetted by our in-house experts using multi-point checks of materials, stitching, hardware and brand markings. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide additional details or photos on request.

Q: Can I use it in light rain?
A: Occasional light drizzle is fine if you wipe the leather dry promptly, but we do not recommend prolonged exposure to moisture due to the open top and the risk of water spots on light leather. A tote liner or resealable pouches help protect contents when weather is changeable.
