Q: How should I care for a vintage Monogram canvas and vachetta leather bag?
A: We recommend gentle handling and careful storage. Wipe the coated canvas with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth, and avoid harsh cleaners or abrasive products. For the vachetta leather, keep it away from rain, oils, make-up, hand sanitiser and prolonged direct sunlight, as untreated leather can darken or mark over time. Store the bag in a cool, dry place and avoid overfilling it to help preserve its shape.

A: At A Retro Tale, all items are reviewed by in-house experts as part of a detailed authentication process. Elements such as materials, construction, hardware, stamps and production details are assessed to ensure the item is authentic before it is offered for sale.
