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 Medium Cuir Tote Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 35.5 × 27 × 17.5 cm, this medium tote is well suited to daily essentials such as a purse, phone, sunglasses, keys, a cosmetics pouch and a notebook. A slim tablet or compact 13-inch laptop may fit depending on its exact dimensions and whether it is in a sleeve, so we recommend comparing your item to the Measurements on this page before purchase.
Q: Is this bag suitable for everyday or work use? A: Yes. Structured Prada Cuir and Saffiano-style totes are often chosen for daily use because they hold their shape well and look polished. This bag has a roomy open-top design with one internal compartment, making it practical for errands, office days and smart everyday wear.
Q: Can this bag be carried on the shoulder? A: Yes. This piece has dual handles as well as a detachable shoulder strap. The handle drop is approximately 16 cm and the strap drop is approximately 50 cm, so it offers both hand-carry and shoulder-carry options.
Q: Does this bag have a zip closure? A: No. This bag has an open top, which makes it easy to access your belongings and gives the interior a spacious feel. If you prefer extra organisation, a small pouch or bag organiser can be a useful addition.
Q: Is Prada Cuir or Saffiano leather durable? A: Generally, yes. Prada’s textured Cuir and Saffiano leathers are popular because the crosshatch finish helps the bag keep its structure and can make light surface wear less noticeable than on smooth leather. As with any pre-owned bag, corners and edges tend to show wear first, and this item does have some corner scuffing noted in the condition details.
Q: Is this bag heavy? A: Medium structured Prada totes can feel a little weightier than soft fabric or slouchy leather bags because of their rigid construction and leather lining. Most people find them very manageable for everyday essentials, but if you prefer an especially lightweight bag, this is worth bearing in mind.
Q: What condition is this bag in? A: This item is described as being in very good vintage condition. The exterior shows scuffing on the corners, the interior has light traces of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches. These are normal signs of wear for a pre-owned structured leather bag.
Q: What is included with this item? A: According to the product information, this bag comes with a dust bag, a detachable shoulder strap and a name tag. If something is not listed in the product information, it should not be assumed to be included.
Q: How should I care for this bag? A: To keep Saffiano leather looking its best, wipe it gently with a soft dry or slightly damp cloth, avoid overfilling it, and keep it away from prolonged heat, direct sunlight and heavy rain. For storage, keep the bag lightly stuffed and inside its dust bag to help maintain the shape. With lighter colours such as camel, it is also wise to be mindful of colour transfer from dark denim or heavily dyed fabrics.
Q: How do you authenticate a pre-owned Prada bag? A: At A Retro Tale, pre-owned Prada pieces are checked by experts using a combination of material, construction and hardware details. Authenticity is never judged by a single feature alone, so the overall quality, finish, branding and model consistency are all considered as part of the assessment.
