Perfect for city commutes and weekend errands, this vintage Prada Tessuto messenger brings sleek, understated style to everyday looks. The black nylon finish and adjustable shoulder strap keep essentials close and hands-free from office hours to after-dark plans.
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 fits inside this Prada Tessuto Messenger Bag? A: With dimensions of approximately 24 cm in height and 22 cm in width, this compact messenger is designed for daily essentials. It comfortably holds a large smartphone, a continental wallet, keys, and a standard 500ml water bottle. A small tablet (such as an iPad Mini) fits easily, but larger tablets or laptops will typically be too tall for this silhouette. Please refer to the Measurements section for precise sizing.
Q: Is the strap adjustable and can I wear it crossbody? A: The single strap is adjustable. This listing notes a strap drop of 41 cm, which is generally suited for comfortable shoulder carry. Depending on your height and build, it may sit as a high crossbody, but we recommend measuring a bag you currently own to see how a 41 cm drop sits on your frame.
Q: What is Tessuto nylon? A: Tessuto is Prada’s signature industrial-grade woven nylon, originally inspired by military parachute fabric. It is renowned for being lightweight, durable, and water-resistant, giving the bag a practical yet luxurious finish. This specific piece pairs the durable nylon body with classic black leather trim.
Q: How do I care for the nylon and leather trim? A: Tessuto nylon is excellent for daily use and is easy to maintain. Wipe the nylon surface gently with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid soaking the leather trim or hardware. We do not recommend machine washing vintage Prada bags, as this can damage the leather details and internal structure. Store the bag lightly stuffed in a breathable dust bag to preserve its shape.
Q: How secure is the closure? A: The bag features a flap secured by a buckle closure, providing reliable security for your belongings while commuting. Additionally, the interior includes a zipped pocket to keep valuables like keys or cards separate and safe.
Q: How do you authenticate this vintage Prada bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by our in-house experts. For vintage Prada, we inspect the quality of the Tessuto nylon, the enamel and font on the triangle logo, and the hardware manufacturers (typically Lampo, IPI, or Riri on vintage pieces). We also check for the interior white "Quality Assurance Tag" with a factory number and verify the signature jacquard lining.
Q: What accessories are included? A: This item is listed with "no accessories," meaning it does not come with its original dust bag or authenticity card. However, rest assured that the bag itself has passed our strict authentication process.
