It offers dual rolled top handles, a zip closure with combination lock, and a black and green leather interior with multiple compartments and pockets. Ideal for client meetings, commuting to the office, or lending polished refinement to smart business attire.
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 Saffiano Business Bag? A: As a structured briefcase, it generally accommodates a 13-inch laptop (and some slim 14-inch models), an A4 folder/notebook, tablet, compact charger, pen case, smartphone, wallet, keys and small daily essentials. Capacity can vary by edition; please refer to the Measurements on this page (36 × 28 × 6 cm) or contact us for a tailored fit check for this exact piece.
Q: Will it fit a laptop? Which sizes are most suitable? A: Most 13-inch laptops fit comfortably given the 36 cm width and 28 cm height. Slim 14-inch devices may fit depending on bezel and case thickness; 15-inch models are typically too large or tight at the zip opening. Compare your device’s dimensions with our Measurements or ask us for a quick fit test before purchase.
Q: Does it have a shoulder strap, and how is it carried? A: Many Prada Saffiano briefcases are designed for hand carry with dual rolled top handles; some editions include a detachable shoulder strap. We list handle/strap drops under Measurements and any included strap under Accessories. If a strap isn’t mentioned there, it’s hand‑carry (the 12 cm handle drop suits hand or crook‑of‑arm carry rather than shoulder).
Q: How secure is the closure and lock? A: This piece features a zip closure and a combination lock for everyday security. We check lock functionality before shipping and can share the current code or guidance on use on request. For valuables, we recommend using interior zip pockets and keeping the bag upright while commuting.
Q: What does the interior layout typically include? A: Prada business bags commonly offer multiple compartments with slip and zipped pockets for documents and devices. Layout can vary by era and edition—our listing photos show the exact configuration of this dark green, black‑and‑green leather‑lined piece.
Q: What is Saffiano leather and how durable is it? A: Saffiano is Prada’s signature heat‑embossed, cross‑hatch calf leather with a protective finish. It’s known for its structured shape, scratch resistance and everyday durability. While it is more moisture resistant than many smooth leathers, it isn’t fully waterproof—avoid heavy rain and prolonged exposure to water.
Q: How should I care for Saffiano leather and the silver‑tone hardware? A: Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth; use a high‑quality neutral leather conditioner very sparingly and only after testing on a discreet area. Keep away from oils and prolonged sunlight, and be mindful of colour transfer from dark denim. Store lightly stuffed, upright, in a breathable dust bag, and protect hardware from rubbing during storage to minimise hairline scratches.
Q: Where are Prada brand markings and codes located, and how is dating handled? A: Authentic Prada bags feature exterior/interior branding (e.g., “PRADA” plaque) and an interior heat‑stamp such as “PRADA Made in Italy,” along with branded hardware and signature Saffiano texture. Many pieces also include a small production code tag inside an interior pocket or along a seam. Placement and format vary by era—contact us for close‑up photos and help dating this specific item.
Q: What accessories are included with this item? A: Included items are listed under “Accessories.” For this piece, a luggage tag and a lock are included. If an accessory isn’t mentioned there, it isn’t included—feel free to ask us to confirm.
Q: Is the Saffiano Business/Briefcase style still produced? A: Prada continues to offer Saffiano briefcases and business bags, though details (interior layout, hardware finish, straps) vary by season. Vintage and earlier editions—like this dark green configuration—may differ from current boutique offerings, and the pre‑loved market is the best way to find specific colours and setups.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by our in‑house experts via multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, production tags and overall construction. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide additional photos or details on request.
