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 Vernice Crystal Bag? A: With measurements of approximately 24 x 15 x 7 cm, this bag is best suited to daily essentials such as a phone, small wallet, keys, lipstick, sunglasses and a few compact items. It is not ideal for larger items such as a tablet or bulky purse.
Q: Does this bag come with a shoulder strap? A: Yes, this item includes a detachable shoulder strap. The listed strap measurement is 58 cm, giving you a practical hands-free carrying option. We recommend comparing that measurement with a favourite bag at home to judge exactly how it will sit on you.
Q: What is the inside layout like? A: The interior is lined in red leather and features two compartments and one internal pocket. This makes it easy to keep smaller essentials neatly separated, while the push-lock closure helps keep everything secure.
Q: What is Saffiano leather like? A: Saffiano leather is known for its structured feel and distinctive crosshatch texture, which helps a bag keep a polished shape. On this piece, the red finish and crystal embellishments give it a more elevated and decorative look than a simple everyday bag.
Q: How should I care for the leather and crystal embellishments? A: We recommend wiping the bag gently with a soft, dry cloth and avoiding harsh cleaners, excessive moisture, rough surfaces and overfilling. When not in use, store it in its dust bag in a well-ventilated place away from heat and damp to help protect both the glossy leather and the crystal detailing.
Q: Is this bag suitable for everyday use or more for occasions? A: It can work for both, depending on your style. Its compact size and structured shape make it practical for essentials, while the crystal embellishments and glossy finish give it a dressier feel that also makes it especially lovely for lunches, dinners and events.
Q: What condition is this vintage bag in? A: This item is rated Very Good Condition. The exterior and interior both show light traces of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches. Overall, it is a well-kept vintage piece with gentle signs of previous wear.
Q: What product information is included with the bag? A: Included product information for this item is a dust bag, detachable shoulder strap and clochette. If something is not listed in the product information, it is not included with the sale.
Q: Does it come with an authenticity card? A: An authenticity card is not listed in the product information for this item. That is not unusual for vintage Prada pieces, and authenticity should not be judged only by whether original cards or packaging are still present.
Q: Where was this bag made, and how do you authenticate it? A: The country of origin label states Italy. As a vintage Prada piece, it is authenticated through expert assessment of the bag itself, including its materials, construction, hardware and brand details, rather than relying only on original extras.
