Q: What typically fits inside the Prada Tessuto Messenger Bag? A: With its compact messenger silhouette (approx. 22 × 20 × 10 cm), it comfortably carries daily essentials: a large smartphone, compact wallet or cardholder, keys, passport, slim sunglasses in a soft sleeve, small cosmetics and an A5 diary/notebook (usually fits horizontally). A slim tablet such as an iPad mini typically fits; 11-inch tablets, full-size notebooks and laptops generally do not. Please refer to the Measurements on this page or contact us for tailored fit advice for this exact piece.
Q: Will it fit a tablet or laptop? A: Most 8–9-inch tablets (e.g., iPad mini) fit, though thicker cases can make the fit snug. Standard 10.2–11-inch iPads and laptops are typically too large for this model. Compare your device’s dimensions with the Measurements shown, or ask us to perform a quick fit check for this item.
Q: Is the strap adjustable or removable? Can I wear it crossbody? A: This bag features a single adjustable shoulder strap designed for shoulder or high crossbody wear. It is generally not intended to be removed. This piece shows approximately a 41 cm strap drop; on most wearers that translates to a higher‑sitting crossbody. If you’d like us to confirm how it sits on you, just ask and we’ll advise.
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.

If you’d like us to confirm how it sits on you, just ask and we’ll advise.
Q: How secure is the closure and what pockets does it have? A: The Tessuto Messenger typically features a flap with buckle closure for good day‑to‑day security, plus multiple external pockets and one internal pocket to organise essentials. Layouts can vary slightly by season—please review our photos and description for the exact configuration of this piece.
Q: What is Prada Tessuto nylon? Is it water‑resistant? A: Tessuto is Prada’s signature high‑quality nylon—lightweight, robust and easy to care for. It is generally water‑resistant for light rain and splashes, but not fully waterproof. Avoid heavy downpours and prolonged moisture, and be mindful of the leather trim which should be kept dry.
Q: How should I clean and care for the nylon and leather trim? A: Wipe nylon gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth; for marks, use a mild soap solution sparingly and test first on a discreet area. Avoid harsh chemicals and machine washing. Keep leather trim away from moisture and oils; condition with a high‑quality neutral leather product very sparingly and only after testing. Store the bag lightly stuffed, upright, in a breathable dust bag, and avoid overfilling to preserve the flap and buckle alignment. Hardware can develop light hairline scratches with normal use—avoid abrasive surfaces.
Q: Where are the brand markings and codes located, and how is dating handled? A: Authentic Prada bags typically feature the enamel triangle logo on the exterior, an interior logo plaque and a “Made in Italy” stamp. Many pieces also have a small production code tag tucked into the lining or an interior pocket; placement and format vary by era. We’re happy to share close‑up photos and help date this specific piece on request.
Q: Is the Tessuto Messenger still produced? A: Prada has released Tessuto nylon messenger styles across multiple seasons with variations in pockets, hardware and strap details. Availability changes over time, and specific vintage configurations like this are best found on the pre‑loved market.
Q: What is the condition of this item? A: This piece is in Good condition with light traces of use inside and out. The hardware is shiny with light scratches, consistent with gentle wear. Please review our photos for close‑ups of the condition.
Q: What accessories are included with this item? A: Accessories for this listing are noted under “Accessories.” For this piece we indicate no accessories. If an accessory isn’t mentioned there, it isn’t included—feel free to contact us for confirmation.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes rigorous, multi‑point authentication by our in‑house experts, assessing materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, production code/microchip (where applicable) and overall construction. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide additional photos or details on request.
