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 this MIU MIU Raffia Flower Basket Tote Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 35 x 20 x 11 cm, it is best suited to daily essentials such as a phone, wallet, keys, sunglasses, a small cosmetics pouch and other slim items. It is not ideal for most laptops or bulky work items.
Q: Does the bag have a secure closure? A: This design has an open top, so there is no zip or flap closure. Inside, there is one internal pocket for smaller essentials you want to keep organised.
Q: Can it be carried on the shoulder? A: The dual leather handles have an approximate drop of 21 cm. Depending on your build and what you are wearing, it may sit on the shoulder, but it is best described as a short-handle tote that also carries comfortably in the hand or on the arm.
Q: What makes this bag special? A: This vintage piece combines woven raffia with brown suede trim, floral appliques and gold-tone hardware for a playful basket-inspired look. It is made in Italy and has the light, summery feel many shoppers look for in Miu Miu raffia styles.
Q: Is raffia suitable for everyday use? A: Raffia works well for light everyday use, especially in warmer months, but it should not be overloaded. Like most woven basket-style bags, it is better for essentials than heavy items, as extra weight can affect the shape over time.
Q: How should I care for a raffia and suede bag? A: Dust it gently with a soft dry cloth or soft brush, avoid soaking it, and blot spills straight away. Let it air dry naturally away from direct heat and sunlight, and store it lightly stuffed in a breathable dust bag or pillowcase to help maintain its shape.
Q: Can this bag be used in wet weather? A: It is best kept away from heavy rain and excess moisture. Raffia and suede can both react badly to water, so this style is better suited to dry conditions.
Q: What is the condition of this item? A: It is listed in Very Good condition, with light traces of use to the exterior and interior. The hardware remains shiny with light scratches.
Q: What is included with the bag? A: Everything included is stated in the product information. This item is listed with no accompanying items.
Q: How is authenticity assessed for a vintage Miu Miu bag? A: Authenticity is best judged through the overall construction, materials, logo, lining, hardware and interior labels rather than paperwork alone. At A Retro Tale, every item is checked by specialists before it is listed.
