Delivery & Returns
Q: What size is this Comtesse Flap Bag? A: This bag measures approximately 30 cm wide, 21 cm high and 9 cm deep, with a handle drop of about 15 cm. It is a medium-sized vintage handbag with enough room for daily essentials while still keeping a structured, elegant shape.
Q: What typically fits inside this bag? A: With its medium proportions, it should comfortably hold essentials such as a phone, purse, keys, sunglasses, cosmetics and other small daily items. For the best idea of capacity, please refer to the Measurements on this page, as what fits can vary depending on the size of your belongings.
Q: Is this bag made from horsehair? A: Yes. According to the product information, this piece is crafted in blue horsehair with blue leather trim and finished with gold-tone hardware. Comtesse is especially known for its refined horsehair handbags, which are prized for their distinctive texture and classic appearance.
Q: How is this bag carried? A: This style features dual top handles and a flap closure with clasp. With a handle drop of approximately 15 cm, it is best suited to being carried by hand or on the arm, rather than as a long shoulder bag.
Q: Does the interior have pockets? A: Yes. The product information states that the bag has a blue leather lining with internal pockets, which are useful for organising smaller essentials separately from the main compartment.
Q: What condition is this vintage bag in? A: The overall condition is listed as Very Good Condition. The exterior shows corner wear, the interior has light traces of use, and the hardware is shiny with light scratches. As with most vintage pieces, these are normal signs of careful previous wear and are part of the bag’s character.
Q: Does this item come with any extras? A: No. The product information lists no accessories with this bag. If anything is included with an item, it will always be stated in the product information.
Q: How should I care for a vintage horsehair and leather bag? A: Handle it gently and avoid heavy rain, prolonged direct sunlight, high humidity and rough surfaces. For light surface dust, use a soft dry cloth and avoid harsh cleaners or over-wetting the horsehair. Store the bag in a cool, dry place, ideally lightly stuffed to help maintain its shape.
Q: Is this an authentic Comtesse bag? A: Yes. Every item sold by A Retro Tale is carefully checked for authenticity by experienced specialists. Vintage Comtesse bags are known for their quality materials, elegant construction and heritage as luxury bags made in Germany.
Q: Where was this bag made? A: According to the product information, the country of origin for this bag is Germany, which is closely associated with Comtesse’s long-standing handbag production history.
