Refined yet practical, the Prada Diagramme Small shoulder bag in black matelassé leather with silver-tone hardware is in very good condition. With a sliding chain-and-leather strap and magnetic flap, it’s perfect for cocktail parties, gallery openings, or dinner dates, effortlessly elevating a tailored day look and transitioning into evening.
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 Prada Diagramme Small Shoulder Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 16 × 25 × 5 cm, it holds daily essentials with ease: a large smartphone, a compact or slim continental wallet, keys, lipstick, wireless earbuds and slim sunglasses in a soft case. An A5 notebook fits; an iPad mini‑sized tablet usually fits without a bulky case. An 11‑inch tablet and a 500 ml bottle do not sit upright and are generally not recommended. For a tailored fit check, share your device dimensions and we’ll test this exact piece.
Q: Can I wear it crossbody and is the strap adjustable? A: Yes—this model features a sliding chain‑and‑leather strap that can be worn doubled on the shoulder or extended for shoulder/high crossbody wear. The drop is approximately 30 cm when doubled and 53 cm when single. The strap is not detachable and length is not hole‑adjustable, but the slider provides two carry lengths.
Q: How secure is the closure and what is the interior layout? A: It has a magnetic flap closure for quick, secure access. Inside you’ll find a black logo jacquard lining with one pocket for valuables. We recommend keeping the bag upright in crowded settings and using the interior pocket for small essentials.
Q: What leather is this and how durable is it? A: The Diagramme line is crafted from soft, quilted (matelassé) calf leather. It’s designed to be resilient for everyday wear, but like all smooth leathers it can show light scratches and pressure marks—quilting helps disguise minor signs of use. Avoid overloading to preserve the slim silhouette.
Q: Any care tips for the leather and hardware? A: Keep the bag away from moisture, oils and prolonged sunlight, and be mindful of colour transfer from dark denim onto lighter leathers. Wipe with a soft, dry cloth; condition sparingly with a high‑quality neutral leather product only after spot‑testing. Store it upright, lightly stuffed, in a breathable dust bag, and place a piece of soft felt between the chain and leather to prevent imprints. Hardware may develop fine hairline scratches with normal use—avoid abrasive surfaces.
Q: Will the magnetic flap affect my bank or travel cards? A: Modern chip cards are generally unaffected, but magnetic stripes can be susceptible to strong magnets. We recommend keeping stripe‑based cards inside the interior pocket and away from the flap magnet, or in a protective card sleeve.
Q: Is the bag heavy to carry? A: The Small Diagramme is compact and designed to feel comfortable for day‑to‑night wear. If you’re weight‑sensitive, let us know and we’ll provide the exact scale weight for this specific piece.
Q: Where are the Prada markings/codes and where is it made? A: Authentic pieces feature Prada branding and a “Made in Italy” marking. Inside, expect a logo plaque/heat‑stamp and logo jacquard lining; some bags include a small production tag and original authenticity card at first purchase (pre‑loved pieces may no longer include the card). Placement and formatting can vary by model and era—ask us for close‑up photos if you’d like.
Q: Is the Diagramme line still produced? A: Availability varies by season and region; certain colours and sizes may be boutique‑limited or discontinued. The pre‑loved market is the best route to specific configurations like this Small black, silver‑tone chain version—feel free to ask about comparable options we have in stock.
Q: What accessories are included and what is the condition of this item? A: This listing includes a dust bag. Condition is Very Good, with light signs of use inside and out; the hardware is shiny with light scratches as noted in our description and photos. If you need additional pictures or a video, just let us know.
