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 Miu Miu Matelassé Lux Bag? A: With approximate dimensions 30 × 20 × 14 cm, it comfortably holds a long wallet, phone, compact umbrella or small water bottle, sunglasses case, keys and a small cosmetics pouch. Slim tablets and e‑readers fit; A4 papers will not lie flat due to the height. Capacity varies with how you pack—please refer to the measurements in the product information for exact sizing.
Q: Can I wear it crossbody as well as on the shoulder? A: Yes. It has dual braided top handles for hand or crook‑of‑arm carry, plus a detachable shoulder strap with an approximate 56 cm drop. On most people this works well on the shoulder and as a short crossbody; exact drop can vary, so please check the product information to ensure it suits your height and preference.
Q: How secure is the bag’s closure? A: The flap fastens with a metal push‑lock clasp, adding good everyday security. As with any push‑lock, make sure the clasp is fully engaged before wearing and avoid overfilling so the flap can sit flat.
Q: What leather is this and how should I care for it? A: This style is crafted in soft matelassé nappa leather, known for its supple, three‑dimensional quilting. Wipe gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth, then dry immediately. Use a leather cream formulated for delicate nappa sparingly, and avoid alcohol, oils, baby wipes or harsh cleaners. Keep away from prolonged rain and direct heat/sunlight.
Q: Will the matelassé quilting flatten over time? A: Some softening is normal with use, but the quilting should retain its character if you avoid prolonged compression. Do not stack heavy items on top, and store the bag loosely stuffed to support the folds when not in use.
Q: Is the light pink colour prone to transfer? A: Light leathers can pick up dye from dark clothing (especially denim). Minimise contact with fresh or unwashed dark fabrics, and consider a reputable leather protector suitable for nappa. Always patch‑test first in a discreet area.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed in the product information on this page. For this piece, that currently includes a dust bag, key, brand booklet and detachable shoulder strap. If an item isn’t listed there, it is not included.
Q: How should I store the bag between uses? A: Store in its dust bag, loosely filled with acid‑free tissue to support the quilting. Keep hardware fastened but not under tension, and place it upright in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight. Avoid plastic boxes or sealed environments where humidity can build up.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes multi‑point authentication by our in‑house experts, including materials, stitching, stamps, hardware, and construction details specific to Miu Miu’s matelassé line. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and are happy to provide further details on request.
Q: What can I do about a vintage odour inside the bag? A: Air the bag in a well‑ventilated room away from direct sunlight. You can place odour‑absorbing sachets nearby (not directly against the leather). Avoid perfumes or deodorising sprays on the leather or lining, as they can stain delicate nappa and satin.
