Designed for effortless city days and chic evenings, this vintage Prada Tessuto Mini in black nylon with silver-tone hardware keeps essentials secure with its zip-top main compartment and sits comfortably on the shoulder. Its sleek profile pairs seamlessly with denim, tailoring or an LBD for brunch, gallery visits or dinner dates.
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 Tessuto Mini? A: With approximate measurements of 22 × 13 × 7 cm, it comfortably holds a smartphone, compact wallet or cardholder, keys, and a few small essentials like lipstick or hand sanitiser. Capacity varies with how you pack and the size of your items—please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.
Q: Is the strap adjustable, and can I wear it crossbody? A: This style has a single flat shoulder strap with an approximate 14 cm drop. It is not adjustable and is designed to be carried by hand or on the shoulder rather than crossbody.
Q: Is Prada’s Tessuto nylon water-resistant? A: Yes, Tessuto nylon is known for being durable and water‑resistant, which makes it suitable for light rain and daily use. It is not fully waterproof, so we recommend wiping the bag dry after exposure to moisture and avoiding submersion.
Q: How should I clean and care for this bag? A: For everyday care, gently wipe the nylon with a soft, slightly damp cloth; a tiny amount of mild soap can be used for spot cleaning, then wipe with clean water and air‑dry away from heat. Avoid harsh chemicals, bleach, or acetone, and do not machine wash. For deeper care, consult a specialist cleaner; Prada advises minimal washing and professional dry cleaning for their modern nylon pieces. Store the bag loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag to help maintain its shape.
Q: Is this the same as the Prada Re‑Edition 2000 mini? A: This is a vintage Tessuto nylon mini with a similar silhouette. The recent Re‑Edition versions are made from Prada’s Re‑Nylon and often include season‑specific details such as a logo key tag or different strap finishes. Materials and small hardware details may differ across eras.
Q: Does this example have interior pockets? A: This piece is configured with one main compartment and no interior pockets. Please refer to the Product information section on this page for the full interior layout.
Q: What items are included with this listing? A: Everything included is listed under Product information. This piece is sold without additional items unless specified there.
Q: How is authenticity ensured, and does it have a serial number? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously authenticated by our in‑house experts. Many authentic Prada bags feature a small white factory or QA tag with a 1–3 digit code sewn into an interior seam; the presence and placement can vary by model and era, so absence of a tag does not automatically indicate an issue. If you’d like photos of specific markers, please contact us.
Q: Is the bag lightweight and suitable for daily use? A: Yes. Tessuto nylon is lightweight yet hard‑wearing, making this a practical daily bag that resists scuffs and light moisture when cared for properly.
Q: Any storage tips to keep it looking its best? A: Keep it lightly stuffed to support the shape, store in a cool, dry place in a breathable dust bag, avoid prolonged direct sunlight, and minimise contact with sharp objects and dark denim that may transfer dye.
