Off-white fringed leather and silver-tone hardware stand out, while the push-lock keeps essentials secure. Wear the single chain strap on the shoulder from dusk till dawn.
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 this bag hold day to day? A: With its compact proportions (approx. 15 × 14 × 6 cm), it suits small essentials: a smartphone, cardholder or small wallet, keys, lipstick and a few extras like hand sanitiser or compact mirror. For best results, avoid overfilling to keep the push‑lock closing smoothly and the shape crisp.
Q: Can I wear it cross‑body as well as on the shoulder? A: The single chain has a fixed drop of about 56 cm. That typically sits comfortably on the shoulder and can work as a high cross‑body on some builds; on taller frames it will sit higher on the torso. Please check the Measurements for your preferred carry.
Q: Is the strap adjustable or removable? A: The chain is fixed and non‑adjustable. It is not designed to be detached.
Q: How does the push‑lock work and how should I care for it? A: Align the flap and press the lock gently until it clicks; to open, press the release without pulling on the leather. Keep the area free of grit to avoid micro‑scratches and do not force the lock if the bag is overfilled.
Q: Is the light ecru leather prone to colour transfer? A: Light shades can pick up dye from dark denim and saturated fabrics. Minimise contact with new or unwashed dark clothing, wipe the surface with a soft dry cloth after wear, and consider a professional leather protector formulated for smooth leather. Avoid harsh cleaners, alcohol and prolonged sun/heat exposure.
Q: How do I care for the fringe detailing? A: Gently shake or brush the fringe with a clean, soft brush to remove dust. If lightly marked, dab (do not rub) with a barely damp, lint‑free cloth and allow to air dry away from heat. For stubborn marks or deep cleaning, seek a specialist leather care service.
Q: How should I look after the studs and chain hardware? A: Wipe metal parts with a dry, non‑abrasive microfibre cloth. Avoid metal polishes or abrasive agents near leather. When storing, place a soft cloth or acid‑free tissue between the chain and leather to prevent imprints and hairline scratches.
Q: What is included with this piece? A: Everything included is listed under the product information on this page. This item is offered without additional items unless explicitly stated there.
Q: How do you authenticate this Prada bag? A: Every piece at A Retro Tale undergoes multi‑point authentication by our in‑house experts, checking materials, stitching, stamps and hardware. Some Prada bags feature a small white internal factory tag and newer items may include an embedded NFC chip, but vintage pieces may predate these features. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell.
Q: Any storage tips to keep it in very good condition? A: Store upright, lightly stuffed with acid‑free tissue to maintain shape. Keep the chain tucked inside with tissue between chain and leather, and place in a breathable dust bag in a cool, dry place away from direct light and humidity. Rotate use to avoid pressure marks and corner wear.
