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 typically fits inside the Prada Tessuto Bumbag? A: With approximate measurements of 27 × 12 × 5 cm, it’s ideal for daily essentials: a large smartphone (including most Pro/Max models), a compact wallet or cardholder, keys, AirPods, travel cards and a small hand sanitiser or lip balm. Slim sunglasses in a soft case can fit; a water bottle or tablet generally will not. If you’d like a tailored fit check for a specific item, just ask and we’ll test it for you.
Q: Can I wear it crossbody as well as around the waist? A: Yes—this bumbag can be styled three ways: around the waist, across the chest or across the back. The webbed strap is adjustable for a close fit over lighter layers; over thick coats it will sit higher. If you’d like exact strap range and how it fits your measurements, we’re happy to advise.
Q: How secure is the closure and what is the interior layout? A: It features a zip‑top main compartment for everyday security, with a durable black jacquard lining. This listing shows one primary compartment—please refer to our photos for the exact layout of this piece.
Q: What is Prada “Tessuto” nylon and how durable is it? A: Tessuto is Prada’s signature woven nylon—lightweight, hard‑wearing and easy to maintain. It resists everyday scuffs and light moisture well, making it a great choice for travel and commuting. As with all fabrics, avoid sharp edges and excessive abrasion to preserve the finish.
Q: Is the bag water‑resistant? A: The Tessuto nylon offers good water resistance for light rain and splashes, but the bag is not fully waterproof. In wet weather, keep it zipped, blot any moisture with a soft cloth and allow it to air‑dry away from heat sources.
Q: How should I clean and care for this nylon bumbag? A: Wipe the exterior gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth; for marks, use a mild soap solution on a clean cloth and test on a discreet area first. Avoid bleach, alcohol and harsh solvents. Let it air‑dry naturally. Store lightly stuffed, upright, in a breathable dust bag. To minimise hairline scratches on the silver‑tone hardware, avoid contact with rough surfaces and wipe with a soft polishing cloth only.
Q: Is it unisex? A: Absolutely. Prada’s nylon bumbags are designed to be worn by all genders and suit a wide range of styling—from casual streetwear to smart travel looks.
Q: What authenticity details should I expect on a vintage Prada Tessuto piece? A: Typical hallmarks include a front Prada triangle logo plaque, an interior logo plaque and Prada jacquard lining; zip hardware and stitching quality are also consistent with the brand. Details can vary by production era. Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes rigorous multi‑point authentication, and we stand behind the authenticity of all pieces we sell.
Q: What condition is this specific item in? A: This piece is graded Very Good with light traces of use. The hardware remains shiny with some surface scratches, and both exterior and interior present well. Please review our close‑up photos and condition notes for this exact bag.
Q: What accessories are included? A: This listing is sold as the bag only; no additional accessories are included. Anything included will always be specified under “Accessories”—if it’s not listed there, it’s not included. If you need a protective dust bag, let us know and we’ll advise on options.
