Delivery & Returns
Q: What makes the Prada Tartaruga Flap Bag distinctive? A: This vintage Prada style stands out for its beige textured leather, elegant flap silhouette and tortoiseshell-effect resin details. The Tartaruga name is commonly associated with Prada designs that feature a tortoiseshell-inspired finish or hardware.
Q: What typically fits inside this bag? A: With approximate measurements of 26 x 12.5 x 5 cm, it is best for compact daily or evening essentials such as a phone, cardholder, keys, lipstick and slim sunglasses. It is not large enough for a tablet, water bottle or bulky long wallet.
Q: Can this bag be worn crossbody? A: No. This piece has a single flat shoulder strap with an approximate 20 cm drop, so it is designed to sit neatly on the shoulder rather than crossbody on most people.
Q: Does the interior have any pockets? A: Yes. The bag is lined in tonal logo jacquard fabric and includes one internal pocket for organising smaller essentials.
Q: What condition is this bag in? A: It is listed in very good vintage condition, with light traces of use externally and internally. The hardware remains shiny with light scratches consistent with gentle wear.
Q: Does this item come with any extras? A: No, this piece comes with no accessories. Everything included with the item is shown in the product information.
Q: Is it made in Italy? A: Yes. According to the product data, this bag was made in Italy.
Q: How should I care for the leather and resin details? A: Wipe the exterior gently with a soft, dry cloth and store the bag in a breathable dust bag in a well-ventilated place away from heat, moisture and direct sunlight. Avoid harsh cleaning products, overfilling the bag and unauthorised repairs.
Q: Can the jacquard lining be spot-cleaned? A: Prada advises extra care with fabric or leather linings, as they are not generally suited to targeted cleaning. To help prevent marks, keep liquids and cosmetics tightly closed and avoid carrying loose items that may stain or snag the lining.
Q: How do you authenticate a vintage Prada bag like this? A: Vintage Prada details can vary from one era to another, so authenticity should be judged as a whole rather than by a single feature. Typical checkpoints include the logo plaque, lining, stitching, hardware consistency, interior branding and overall construction. Every item sold by A Retro Tale is authenticated by specialists before listing.
