Perfect for city days and evening plans, this vintage Prada Spazzolato bag elevates casual to smart-casual with ease. The green nylon with black leather brings a sleek edge, while the compact silhouette and back zip pocket keep essentials organised on gallery visits, lunches, or a night out.
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 Spazzolato bag? A: With its compact profile of approximately 29 × 19 × 5 cm, it comfortably holds a large smartphone, small wallet or cardholder, keys, slim sunglasses and a few small essentials. It is not designed for laptops, large tablets or bulky water bottles. For best accuracy, compare your items to the Measurements on this page.
Q: Is it a shoulder bag or handheld? A: It has a single flat top handle with an approximate 14 cm drop. It is most comfortable handheld or in the crook of the arm; some may wear it high under the arm on the shoulder depending on build and layers.
Q: What exactly is Spazzolato leather? A: Spazzolato is a high-shine, brushed and polished full‑grain calf leather. It has a smooth, mirror-like surface that’s glossier than standard smooth leather and typically less plasticky than traditional patent. It is durable but may show light scratches more readily than textured leathers.
Q: How should I care for the Spazzolato leather and nylon body? A: For the leather, wipe with a slightly damp, lint‑free cloth and gently buff dry; avoid alcohol, acetone and abrasive cleaners. An occasional light leather conditioner or a gentle polish can refresh the shine. For the nylon, spot clean with a mild soap solution on a soft cloth and air‑dry naturally. Do not machine wash or tumble dry. Store the bag stuffed in a breathable dust bag, away from direct heat and sunlight, and avoid prolonged contact with dark denim or saturated dyes.
Q: Is the bag water-resistant? A: The polished Spazzolato finish and nylon offer good resistance to light moisture and everyday splashes, but the bag is not fully waterproof. If it gets wet, blot gently and allow it to dry naturally away from heat sources.
Q: What closures and pockets does it have? A: It features a push‑lock flap closure and a practical external zip pocket at the back for quick‑access items such as travel cards or receipts.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This piece is delivered with an authenticity card. Everything included is listed in the product information section; if a dust bag or additional strap is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is vetted by experienced in‑house specialists using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware and branding, and we also use a trusted third‑party authentication tool. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell.
Q: Does Prada use a date code, and will this bag have one? A: Prada does not use a public date‑code system like some other brands. Many authentic Prada bags have internal factory or QA tags and specific logo, lining and plaque details that experts review. If you’d like us to check for a particular interior tag or number, please contact us.
Q: What condition should I expect from this vintage piece? A: Overall very good vintage condition. There is visible scuffing on the corners, light scratches on the leather, light traces of use inside, and shiny hardware with light scratches. Please review the photos and description for the most accurate view.
