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 can I fit inside the Canapa Cow Print Tote (Medium)? A: With measurements of approximately 30 × 18 × 16 cm, it comfortably carries a long wallet, phone, keys, a small water bottle, sunglasses case, compact umbrella and a tablet up to about 11 inches. It does not fit A4 documents or a 13-inch laptop upright.
Q: Does it come with a strap and can I wear it crossbody? A: Yes. This piece includes a detachable, adjustable shoulder strap listed under product information. With a maximum drop of around 50 cm, most people can wear it on the shoulder and many will find a crossbody carry comfortable.
Q: How is the interior organised? A: It is lined in black canvas and features one zipped pocket and two slip pockets for smaller items. The top is open for easy access.
Q: How durable is Canapa canvas and the cow print? A: Canapa is a hard‑wearing cotton canvas that holds its structure well. The printed finish is robust for daily use, but avoid rough abrasion and prolonged rubbing against dark denim to minimise colour transfer.
Q: Is it suitable for rainy weather? A: Canvas is not waterproof. If it gets damp, blot gently with a soft, dry cloth and allow it to air‑dry away from direct heat. Store the bag clean and dry in a breathable dust bag and avoid heavy rain where possible.
Q: How should I store and maintain it? A: Wipe the surface with a dry, soft cloth, then stuff lightly with tissue to help retain its shape. Store in a well‑ventilated place away from heat and humidity, and avoid overfilling to prevent distortion.
Q: Is the cow print an authentic Prada motif? A: Yes. Prada has a long heritage of using animal prints, including cow print, dating back to early runway collections in the 1990s, and it has been revisited in later seasons. This tote reflects that archive‑inspired aesthetic.
Q: What are the typical authenticity markers on a Prada Canapa? A: Expect crisp Prada Milano Dal 1913 branding on the plaque, uniform high‑quality hardware, clean and consistent stitching, and branded zips from reputable makers. Details vary by season, so rely on our in‑house authentication and the photos provided. We guarantee authenticity.
Q: What’s included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under product information. If an item such as a dust bag or card is not listed there, it is not included—feel free to contact us for clarification.
Q: Where is this bag made? A: The label states Made in Italy.
