Perfect for everyday city wear, this brown Prada Tessuto Moon Hobo slips easily over the shoulder for errands, brunch or the commute. Its vintage silhouette adds understated polish to denim by day and sleek knits by night, making it a versatile companion from weekday to weekend.
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 are the dimensions and what typically fits inside? A: The bag measures approximately 32 × 15 × 6 cm with an estimated strap drop of 24 cm. It comfortably holds daily essentials such as a smartphone, long wallet, keys, sunglasses, small cosmetics, and a slim cardholder or compact umbrella. It will not accommodate A4 documents or a full‑size tablet; a small e‑reader may fit horizontally depending on its case.
Q: How is this Moon Hobo designed and how does it carry? A: This vintage Moon Hobo is crafted in Tessuto nylon with leather trim and silver‑tone hardware. It features dual top handles that sit neatly on the shoulder and a flap closure with a ring buckle. Inside, there is a Prada jacquard lining with one zipped pocket. It is intended for shoulder or hand carry and is not designed to be worn crossbody.
Q: What is Prada Tessuto nylon and why is it popular for everyday use? A: Tessuto is Prada’s signature woven nylon, introduced in the late 1970s and celebrated for being lightweight, durable, and resistant to the elements. It offers a polished look that withstands regular wear, making it ideal for daily handbags like the Moon Hobo.
Q: Is the nylon waterproof? A: Tessuto nylon is generally water‑resistant and shrugs off light rain or splashes, but it is not fully waterproof. We recommend wiping away moisture promptly and avoiding prolonged exposure to heavy rain to protect the nylon, leather trim, and hardware.
Q: How should I clean and care for Tessuto nylon and the leather trim? A: For the nylon, gently wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth and mild soap if needed; avoid harsh chemicals and never machine‑wash. For the leather trim, use a dry, soft cloth and keep it away from water and oils. Store the bag loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag, away from direct heat and sunlight, to maintain its shape.
Q: What is the strap like—can it be adjusted or detached? A: The shoulder handles are fixed and not detachable. The approximate drop is 24 cm, giving a comfortable under‑arm carry typical of hobo silhouettes.
Q: What is included with this listing? A: Everything included is detailed under the product information section on this page. If an item such as a dust bag or card is not shown there, it is not included.
Q: What is the condition of this vintage piece? A: Overall good vintage condition with visible signs of use. The leather shows cracks and scuffs, the interior has light traces of wear, and the hardware exhibits scratches and some dullness. Please review the photos for a close look at these details.
Q: Where was this bag made? A: This piece is marked Made in Italy, consistent with Prada’s production for this model and era.
