Perfect for dinner dates and gallery openings, this Prada Cahier Chain Crossbody in black studded leather lends refined edge to evening attire. In very good condition, it features silver‑tone accents and a sleek chain strap, carrying just the essentials across two organised compartments. A go‑to for city nights and special occasions.
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 Prada Cahier Chain Crossbody bag? A: This is a compact, structured bag with dimensions of approximately 18 × 10 × 4 cm. It is designed to hold essentials such as a large smartphone (e.g., iPhone Pro/Max models, though the fit may be snug with bulky cases), a cardholder, lipstick and keys. The structured "notebook" design limits expansion, so it is best suited for minimal carry.
Q: Can I wear this bag crossbody? A: The bag features a single chain-link strap with a listed measurement of 80 cm. This length is typically suited for shoulder carry or a high crossbody position, depending on your frame. We recommend checking this measurement against your personal preference to ensure the fit is right for you.
Q: How secure is the closure? A: The front flap features a magnetic snap closure that keeps the bag securely closed while allowing for easy access. The interior is divided into two compartments to help organise and secure your belongings.
Q: What materials is this model made from? A: This Cahier bag is crafted from black "City Calf" leather, which is known for its smooth and supple finish. It is decorated with silver-tone metal studs and the line's signature metal corners, inspired by the bindings of antique books.
Q: What is the interior layout? A: The interior is lined in black leather and features two main open compartments. This accordion-style layout helps separate your phone from other small items like keys or makeup.
Q: How should I care for the studded City Calf leather? A: Smooth City Calf leather can be susceptible to scratches, so we recommend handling it with care and keeping it away from abrasive surfaces. Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth if needed. When not in use, store the bag upright in a dust bag to protect the leather and hardware from dust and accidental scratches.
Q: What is the condition of this specific piece? A: This bag is in Very Good condition. It shows light traces of use on the leather (external and internal), and the silver-tone hardware is shiny with light scratches. Please refer to the photos for a detailed view of its condition.
Q: What accessories are included? A: This item is sold as the bag only and does not include additional accessories such as a dust bag or box.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by our in-house experts. We verify the materials, stitching, hardware (including the specific Cahier metalwork and engravings), and overall construction to ensure it meets Prada's standards of authenticity.
