Perfect for stylish weekend getaways, this vintage Prada Saffiano Weekend Bag in black Saffiano leather with silver‑tone hardware pairs polish with practicality. Dual rolled handles, a zip‑top closure and a logo‑jacquard interior with one pocket keep essentials organised. In very good condition, it suits city breaks and short business trips.
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 weekend bag? A: With approximate measurements of 27 × 53 × 23 cm, it comfortably holds clothing for a 2–3 day trip, a pair of trainers, a toiletry bag, a 15‑inch laptop in a protective sleeve, and travel essentials. The interior slip pocket helps organise smaller items. How much you pack will depend on your packing style.
Q: Is this bag carry‑on compliant? A: At around 53 cm in length, it suits the cabin size limits of many airlines that allow bags up to roughly 55–56 cm on the longest side. Exact rules vary by airline and fare type, so please check your carrier’s current cabin baggage allowance before you fly.
Q: Does this piece come with a shoulder strap or other extras? A: This piece is designed for handheld carry with dual rolled top handles. Everything included is listed in the product information for this page; for this listing, no additional items are noted and the bag is supplied as shown.
Q: What is Saffiano leather and why is it good for travel? A: Saffiano leather is a calf leather stamped with a cross‑hatch texture and finished with a protective wax coating. It is known for its scratch resistance, water‑resistant surface, and structured feel, making it a practical choice for frequent use and travel.
Q: Is Saffiano leather waterproof? A: It is water‑resistant rather than fully waterproof. Light rain or splashes can usually be wiped away, but avoid soaking and prolonged exposure to moisture. If the leather gets wet, pat it dry with a soft cloth and allow it to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
Q: How should I clean and care for the leather? A: Wipe the exterior with a soft, slightly damp cloth and mild soap if needed, then dry gently. Avoid harsh chemicals, alcohol‑based wipes, or abrasive cleaners. Store loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag, keep away from direct sunlight/heat for long periods, and rotate use to minimise corner wear.
Q: Will a 15‑inch laptop fit inside? A: Yes. Given the width of approximately 53 cm, most 15‑inch laptops will fit comfortably when placed in a protective sleeve. For safety, avoid placing an unprotected laptop directly against the hardware or corners.
Q: How structured is the bag—will it hold its shape? A: Saffiano’s pressed texture and coated finish give it a firm, shape‑holding structure. To help maintain its silhouette, avoid overfilling and store the bag lightly padded when not in use.
Q: How do you authenticate this item? A: Every piece at A Retro Tale undergoes multi‑point authentication by our in‑house experts, including checks of materials, stitching, hardware engravings, brand stamps, lining, and construction. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can share additional photos or details on request.
Q: Can minor scuffs or corner wear be improved? A: Light surface marks can often be reduced with gentle cleaning and conditioning, while professional handbag specialists can perform corner colour touch‑ups and restoration if required. We recommend professional care for any deeper scuffs or colour loss.
