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 Prada Saffiano Shoulder Bag? A: With approximate dimensions of 25 × 21 × 15 cm, it comfortably holds daily essentials such as a smartphone, compact wallet, keys, sunglasses, and a small cosmetics pouch or passport. For best results, compare these needs with the Measurements on this page; larger tablets or A4 documents are unlikely to fit.
Q: Is Saffiano leather durable and rain-friendly? A: Yes. Saffiano leather is heat-pressed with a crosshatch pattern and finished with a protective wax coating, making it notably scratch-resistant and water-resistant. It handles light rain well; simply blot dry promptly. It is not fully waterproof, so avoid soaking or prolonged exposure to moisture.
Q: How should I clean and care for Saffiano leather? A: Wipe the exterior with a dry, soft cloth after use. For light marks, a slightly damp cloth can help—always patch test first. Avoid harsh chemicals, alcohol, baby wipes, oils, or heavy conditioners. Store stuffed to support its structure and keep it in a breathable dust bag away from heat and humidity.
Q: Will Saffiano leather scratch or peel over time? A: The textured, coated finish resists everyday scratches very well. As with any coated leather, the corners and edges can show wear from abrasion over time. Minor scuffs can often be improved by a professional leather spa; prevent premature wear by avoiding rough surfaces and colour-transfer risks (for example, dark denim).
Q: Is Prada Saffiano real leather or vegan? A: Prada’s Saffiano is typically genuine calf leather that has been crosshatch-embossed and sealed with a wax finish. The treatment gives it its signature structure, sheen, and durability; it is not a vegan material.
Q: How can this bag be worn? A: It features dual top handles and a detachable, adjustable shoulder strap for hands-free wear. Depending on your height and preference, it is ideal on the shoulder and, for some, may be worn as a short crossbody. Please refer to the strap measurement listed under Measurements to ensure your preferred fit.
Q: What items are included with this piece? A: Everything included is listed under the product information on this page. For this item, that comprises a detachable shoulder strap and a luggage tag. If an item such as a dust bag or card is not listed there, it is not included—contact us if you need clarification.
Q: Is this item authentic? A: Yes. Every piece at A Retro Tale undergoes rigorous multi-point authentication by our in-house experts, including inspection of materials, construction, stamps and hardware. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and are happy to provide further details on request.
Q: Does this bag stand upright and have base protection? A: Yes. The structured Saffiano leather helps it hold its shape, and the four protective base studs reduce direct contact with surfaces to help minimise wear.
Q: Any storage tips to keep it looking its best? A: After use, empty the bag, gently wipe it down, and store it loosely stuffed with acid-free tissue in a breathable dust bag. Keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources to protect both leather and lining.
