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 measurements and carry options of the Medium Besace Triomphe? A: The bag measures approximately 22 × 20 × 5 cm. The leather strap adjusts to a drop of about 44–51 cm, allowing both crossbody and shoulder wear.
Q: What fits inside for everyday use? A: The structured interior has three compartments plus a zipped pocket and a flat pocket for organisation. It comfortably holds a large smartphone, compact wallet or cardholder, keys, sunglasses, earbuds, and a few small cosmetics. It is not intended for a water bottle or full‑size tablet.
Q: How secure is the closure? A: The flap fastens with the signature Triomphe clasp and a hidden closure, and the divided interior helps keep belongings in place during daily wear.
Q: Is the strap adjustable for different heights? A: Yes, the strap is adjustable so you can tailor the drop for crossbody or shoulder carry within the approximate 44–51 cm range.
Q: What materials and hardware does this piece feature? A: This example is crafted in smooth calfskin leather with a leather lining and silver‑toned hardware, including the Triomphe clasp.
Q: How should I care for the calfskin leather? A: Keep the bag away from humidity and avoid contact with liquids, hand sanitiser, make‑up, and perfume. If contact occurs, gently dab with a light, lint‑free cloth. Avoid prolonged direct light or heat and friction against abrasive surfaces. Light surface marks may soften with gentle buffing using a soft, dry cloth. Store stuffed in its dust bag in a cool, ventilated place.
Q: Will the leather or hardware scratch with use? A: Smooth calfskin can show hairline marks over time, and metal hardware may develop micro‑scratches with regular wear. Mindful handling and storage in the dust bag help minimise visible wear.
Q: What is included with this item from A Retro Tale? A: Everything included is listed under the product information on this page. For this piece, a dust bag is included. If an item is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: Where is this bag made? A: Italy.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this bag? A: Every item is rigorously vetted by our in‑house experts through multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and overall craftsmanship. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and are happy to provide additional product information on request.
