Perfect for dinners, gallery openings and smart weekends, Prada's black Saffiano Cleo delivers sleek polish. Silver-toned hardware and a magnetic flap keep things refined and secure, while the adjustable shoulder strap makes it effortless from day to night. In very good condition with light signs of use and shiny hardware showing light scratches.
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 Cleo? A: With approximate measurements of 27 × 18.5 × 6 cm, it comfortably carries daily essentials such as a smartphone, compact wallet or cardholder, keys, lip balm and a slim sunglasses case. It isn’t designed for A4 papers, a standard water bottle or a full‑size tablet; to preserve the shape and closure, avoid overfilling.
Q: Can I wear this Cleo crossbody? A: This piece features a single adjustable shoulder strap and, as listed in the product information, comes with a detachable shoulder strap. The strap measurement is approximately 60 cm; on most frames this wears as an on‑shoulder or short crossbody. For the best fit, compare the stated measurement with a strap drop you find comfortable.
Q: How durable is Prada’s Saffiano leather and how should I care for it? A: Saffiano is Prada’s signature cross‑hatched, wax‑finished leather known for its structure and excellent scratch and wear resistance. Care is simple: wipe with a dry, soft cloth and store the bag in its dust bag in a cool, ventilated place away from heat and moisture. Avoid harsh cleaners and prolonged exposure to rain.
Q: Does this bag have internal pockets? A: The interior is lined in black logo jacquard and the layout is intentionally minimal with a single main compartment and magnetic flap closure. Please refer to the photos for the exact interior configuration of this piece.
Q: How secure is the closure? A: The Cleo in this configuration uses a magnetic flap closure that offers quick, secure access for day‑to‑day use. For optimal performance, avoid over‑stuffing so the flap aligns cleanly.
Q: What colour is the hardware and how does it wear? A: The hardware is silver‑toned. Light surface marks are normal with use; this piece’s hardware is described as shiny with light scratches, consistent with very good overall condition.
Q: What is included with this item? A: As listed under product information, this bag comes with a dust bag and a detachable shoulder strap. If an item isn’t mentioned there, it is not included.
Q: Where is this item made? A: The country of origin label indicates Italy.
Q: When did the Prada Cleo launch and what inspired it? A: The Cleo debuted in late 2020, drawing on a sleek 1990s archival Prada silhouette. Its curved, minimalist shape quickly became a modern classic.
Q: Any storage tips to keep it looking its best? A: Store it loosely filled (e.g., with clean tissue) to support the shape, keep it in its dust bag, and avoid stacking heavier items on top. If the exterior gets lightly wet, blot gently and allow it to air‑dry away from direct heat.
