Prada Leather Shoulder Bag

Q: What typically fits inside this Prada Leather Shoulder Bag?
A: With measurements of approximately 28 x 19 x 10 cm, it is best for daily essentials such as a phone, small wallet or card holder, keys, sunglasses, and a few make-up items. It is not large enough for a laptop, A4 papers, or bulkier items.

Q: Can this bag be worn crossbody?
A: No. This style has a single flat shoulder strap with an approximate drop of 26 cm, so it is designed to sit on the shoulder rather than be worn crossbody.

Q: Does the bag close securely?
A: Yes. It features a top zip closure, which helps keep your essentials secure while maintaining a clean, classic shape.

Q: What is the condition of this vintage bag?
A: The exterior is in good condition with visible scratches and marks on the leather. The interior is in very good condition with light traces of use. Please review all product images carefully for the most accurate impression of this pre-owned item.

Q: Is this Prada bag made in Italy?
A: Yes. The country of origin label states Italy, which is consistent with many Prada leather bags.

Q: Does it come with any original extras or product information?
A: No original extras are included with this item unless otherwise stated on the product page.

Q: Will the gold leather show wear easily?
A: Metallic and smooth leather finishes can show scratches and rub marks more readily than heavily textured leather. This piece already has visible exterior marks, so it is best suited to someone who appreciates vintage character and handles it with care.

Q: How should I care for the leather and lining?
A: Prada recommends cleaning leather gently with a dry, soft cloth and storing the bag in a breathable dust bag away from heat and damp. For the lining, avoid carrying leaking cosmetics, pens, or liquids, as linings are not suited to targeted cleaning. Because this bag has visible marks and a metallic gold finish, gentle handling is especially important.

Q: How is authenticity checked on a vintage Prada bag like this?
A: At A Retro Tale, every item is reviewed for authenticity using a combination of details such as the logo plaque, stitching, leather quality, lining, hardware consistency, zipper markings, and interior tags or codes where present. With older Prada bags, original cards or modern serial systems may be missing, so authenticity should never rely on one detail alone.
