Q: How secure is the closure? A: The main compartment is secured by a drawstring cord, which is then covered by a flap with a buckle closure. This dual-closure system offers excellent security for your belongings while on the move.
Q: What is Tessuto nylon and is it durable? A: Tessuto is Prada’s signature durable, water-resistant nylon fabric, originally inspired by military parachutes. It is lightweight yet robust, making it ideal for everyday use. This piece combines the nylon body with leather trim and silver-toned hardware.
Q: How should I care for the nylon and leather trim? A: Nylon is easy to maintain; simply wipe the surface gently with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust or light marks. Avoid using harsh chemicals. For the leather trim, keep it away from prolonged moisture and condition sparingly if needed. Store the bag lightly stuffed in a dust bag to preserve its shape.
Q: What is the condition of this specific vintage piece? A: This item is rated in Very Good condition. You may notice marks on the exterior nylon and light traces of use on the interior, which add to its vintage character. The hardware remains shiny but shows light scratches. Please refer to the detailed photos and condition report on this page.
Q: How do you authenticate this item? A: Authentic Prada Tessuto bags feature specific markers such as the enamelled triangle logo (often with a notch in the 'R'), quality hardware, and an internal factory tag. This piece is Made in Italy. Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes a rigorous multi-point authentication by our in-house experts to ensure its genuineness.
