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 this Versace handbag? A: With measurements of approx. 26 x 15 x 12 cm, it is best suited to day-to-evening essentials such as a phone, a compact wallet or cardholder, keys, sunglasses and a few small make-up items. It is not large enough for bigger items such as a tablet or laptop.
Q: Can this bag be worn on the shoulder? A: The drop listed in the product information is approx. 16 cm. That may allow a short shoulder carry for some, but it is generally best suited to hand carry or carrying in the crook of the arm, especially over thicker clothing.
Q: What does the interior include? A: The bag is lined in black fabric and features one internal pocket, which is useful for keeping smaller essentials organised.
Q: Is this a vintage piece? A: Yes. This handbag is listed as vintage, meaning it is a pre-owned Versace piece from an earlier production period rather than a current-season style.
Q: What condition is this bag in? A: The exterior and interior are both rated Very Good with light traces of use. The hardware is described as shiny with light scratches, which is consistent with gentle wear.
Q: Does it come with any included extras? A: No extra items are noted for this piece. The product information lists no included extras, so please base your purchase on the handbag itself unless otherwise stated.
Q: How should I care for patent leather? A: Wipe it gently with a soft dry or slightly damp cloth and avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive rubbing. Keep it away from direct heat, strong sunlight and humidity, and store it separately in a breathable dust bag or cloth bag to help maintain its shape and glossy finish.
Q: Can patent leather become sticky or marked over time? A: It can. Patent leather may develop tackiness, light surface marks or dull patches if it is stored in heat or humidity or cleaned with harsh products. Cool, dry storage and gentle handling help preserve the finish.
Q: Is colour transfer a concern with patent leather? A: It can be, especially if the bag rubs against dark denim, heavily dyed fabrics or printed materials for long periods. Storing it separately and avoiding prolonged contact with colour-rich items is the safest approach.
Q: How is a vintage Versace bag authenticated? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is checked by experts using the materials, construction, hardware, branding and overall consistency of the piece. With vintage bags, authentication is generally based on craftsmanship and era-appropriate details rather than expecting modern packaging or newer digital labels.
