Delivery & Returns
Q: What typically fits in this Prada Tessuto bag? A: With approximate dimensions of 35 × 15 × 14 cm, it comfortably holds daily essentials such as a long wallet, smartphone, keys, a small cosmetic pouch, sunglasses, and a compact umbrella or slim water bottle. A small tablet (around 10 inches) can fit depending on its case and how you pack. For exact sizing, please refer to the measurements on this page.
Q: Is Prada Tessuto nylon waterproof? A: Tessuto nylon is designed to be durable and water‑resistant, helping it cope with light rain, but it is not fully waterproof. In heavier downpours, protect the bag, avoid prolonged exposure to moisture, and blot dry with a soft cloth if it gets wet.
Q: How should I clean and care for the nylon and leather trim? A: For the nylon, gently wipe with a soft damp cloth and a drop of mild soap, then pat dry and allow to air dry away from heat. Avoid bleach, solvents, or alcohol‑based cleaners. For the leather trim, use a quality leather conditioner sparingly and keep away from excessive moisture. For stubborn marks or deep cleaning, consult a professional bag care service or a Prada boutique’s maintenance service.
Q: Can I put a Prada nylon bag in the washing machine or tumble dryer? A: No. Machine washing or tumble drying can distort the fabric’s finish, weaken glues, and damage hardware. Spot‑clean by hand only and allow the bag to air dry naturally.
Q: Does Tessuto nylon hold up well with regular use? A: Yes—Prada’s tightly woven nylon is known for being lightweight yet hard‑wearing. As with any vintage piece, avoid abrasive surfaces and overloading to maintain its shape. Hardware and leather trim may show gradual wear with use; this is normal and part of the bag’s character.
Q: Will the colour transfer or fade over time? A: Nylon is generally colourfast, but dye transfer from dark denim or saturated fabrics can occur with friction. Avoid prolonged contact with such materials and store the bag away from direct sunlight to help preserve the colour.
Q: What is the difference between Prada Tessuto and Vela nylon? A: Both refer to Prada’s nylon, but Tessuto is commonly used for more structured, feature‑rich handbags, while Vela is often seen on simpler styles like pouches or backpacks. The terms are sometimes used interchangeably; quality and durability are comparable across both when cared for properly.
Q: Does this item have a shoulder strap or crossbody option? A: This piece is designed with dual rolled leather handles and an approximate 23 cm drop, allowing comfortable hand or shoulder carry. It does not include a detachable crossbody strap.
Q: What is included with this bag? A: Everything that comes with the item is listed under the product information section. For this piece, an authenticity card is included.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously reviewed by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, logo plaques, interior labels, and overall construction. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can share additional product information on request.
