Q: What typically fits inside the Prada Vitello Phenix Hobo? A: As a medium hobo, it comfortably carries daily essentials: a large smartphone, continental wallet, keys, sunglasses in a slim case, cosmetics pouch, a small water bottle, and an A5 notebook/diary. Slim tablets (e.g., iPad Air/11-inch) generally fit. Capacity is influenced by the softly curved opening—compare your items with the Measurements listed (approx. 33 x 27 x 17 cm) or ask us for a tailored fit check for this exact piece.
Q: Is the shoulder handle adjustable? Can I wear it crossbody? A: This model features a single shoulder handle that is not adjustable and is designed for shoulder carry rather than crossbody. Our listing shows an approximate 24 cm strap drop; 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.

Our listing shows an approximate 24 cm strap drop; 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 is the interior layout? A: The bag uses a magnetic snap closure that provides good day‑to‑day security. Interior configurations can vary by season, but many Vitello Phenix hobos include a zipped pocket and one or more slip pockets. Please review our photos for the exact layout of this piece; for commuting, we recommend keeping valuables in a zipped pocket and the bag upright.
Q: What materials and hardware does this piece have, and where is it made? A: This listing specifies black Vitello Phenix leather with gold‑tone hardware, a single shoulder handle, black logo‑jacquard lining and a magnetic snap closure. It is stamped Made in Italy. Our photos show the exact finish and details of this item.
Q: What is Vitello Phenix leather? A: Vitello Phenix is Prada’s supple, grained (pebbled) calfskin known for its soft hand, gentle drape and everyday durability. The textured surface tends to mask light scuffs better than smooth leather while maintaining a refined look.
Q: How should I care for the leather and hardware? A: Keep the leather away from moisture, oils and prolonged sunlight, and be mindful of colour transfer from dark denim (especially on lighter leathers). Wipe with a soft, dry cloth; use a high‑quality neutral leather conditioner very sparingly and test first on a discreet area. Store the bag lightly stuffed, upright, in a breathable dust bag, and avoid overfilling to preserve the opening and snap alignment. Protect hardware from rubbing during storage to minimise hairline scratches.
Q: Is the Vitello Phenix Hobo still produced? A: This hobo style is generally discontinued, though availability can vary by season and region. The pre‑loved market is the best way to find specific colours and configurations like this black edition.
Q: Where are the brand markings and codes located, and how is dating handled? A: Authentic Prada bags feature an interior logo plaque/heat stamp (e.g., “PRADA” and country of origin). Many pieces include a small production code tag inside a pocket; code placement and format can vary by era and model. We’re happy to share close‑up photos and assist with dating for this exact piece on request.
Q: What accessories are included and how do you authenticate? A: Everything included is listed under “Accessories.” This item is noted as having no accessories. Every piece at A Retro Tale undergoes rigorous, multi‑point authentication by our in‑house experts, assessing materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, production tag and overall construction. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell.
Q: What is the condition of this specific bag? A: The exterior is described as Very Good with light traces of use, and the hardware is shiny with light scratches. Please review our detailed photos for an accurate view of wear across the leather, lining and hardware; we’re happy to provide additional close‑ups or clarifications on request.
