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 can this bag comfortably hold day to day? A: With approximate measurements of 34 × 22 × 5 cm, it suits daily essentials such as a smartphone, compact wallet, keys, lipstick, and slim sunglasses. A small tablet (iPad mini–size) or a paperback can fit, but the profile is sleek, so bulkier items and large water bottles are not recommended.
Q: Are the straps detachable and how does it carry? A: Yes. According to the product information, this piece includes a detachable shoulder strap and a detachable chain strap embellished with crystals. The drop is about 22 cm, giving an elegant shoulder carry; the chain strap is typically fixed in length, while leather straps on this model family may offer limited adjustment depending on the hole settings.
Q: How secure is the closure? A: The flap features a crystal‑embellished push‑lock/twist‑lock closure designed to keep belongings secure when properly fastened. Always ensure the lock clicks shut before wearing.
Q: Is nappa leather delicate and how should I care for it? A: Nappa is a soft, finely grained leather that feels luxurious but benefits from gentle care. Wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth after wear, let it air‑dry away from heat, and condition occasionally with a quality leather conditioner formulated for smooth leathers. Avoid harsh cleaners, excessive moisture, and abrasive contact to minimise scuffs and colour change.
Q: How do I look after the crystal details and chain strap? A: Keep crystals away from perfumes, lotions, and prolonged humidity to preserve their sparkle. Avoid snagging on knitwear. When storing, tuck the chain inside a soft pouch or wrap it in tissue so it doesn’t mark the leather. If a stone is lost or prongs loosen, a reputable handbag restoration service can usually source and set replacement crystals.
Q: Is the bag heavy to wear? A: The matelassé nappa body is relatively light; most of the weight comes from the metal chain and crystal elements. For longer wear, many owners prefer the leather strap, using the crystal chain for evening or shorter outings.
Q: What is inside the bag? A: The interior is lined in black satin and includes one zipped pocket for small valuables, keeping essentials tidy and easy to reach.
Q: What exactly is included with this item? A: Everything that comes with this piece is listed under product information. For this bag, the listing includes a detachable shoulder strap and a detachable crystal‑embellished chain strap. If an item (such as a dust bag or box) is not mentioned there, it is not included.
Q: Where was this bag made? A: This model was crafted in Italy, consistent with Miu Miu’s production for its nappa matelassé and crystal‑embellished designs.
Q: How should I store it when not in use? A: Store the bag loosely stuffed with acid‑free tissue to maintain its shape, with the chain wrapped separately to avoid imprints. Keep it in a breathable dust bag, away from direct sunlight and heat. Allow the leather to rest between wears to preserve the finish.
