Prada Suede Fringe Bag

Q: What size is this Prada Suede Fringe Bag, and what typically fits inside?
A: This bag measures approximately 25 x 22 x 12 cm, with a 12 cm handle drop and a 46 cm adjustable strap. It is best suited to daily essentials such as a phone, purse, keys, sunglasses, cosmetics and a small notebook. A compact tablet may fit depending on its case and how you pack.

Q: How can this bag be carried?
A: It features dual top handles as well as a detachable adjustable shoulder strap, so it can be carried by hand or worn on the shoulder. If you prefer a longer cross-body fit, we recommend comparing the strap measurement with a bag you already own, as fit will vary by height and styling preference.

Q: What material and details does this bag have?
A: It is crafted in brown suede with gold-tone hardware, fringe and metal eyelet detailing, and a brown logo jacquard lining. The combination gives it a soft texture and a distinctive vintage Prada look.

Q: What is the condition of this vintage bag?
A: The overall condition is good. The exterior shows light traces of use with a few scuff marks, the interior is in good condition with light wear, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches. Gentle signs of age are normal for a vintage suede piece and add to its character.

Q: How should I care for the suede?
A: Suede should be handled gently. Use a soft, dry cloth or a suede brush for light surface care, avoid overfilling the bag, and store it in a breathable dust bag or well-ventilated space away from heat and damp. It is best to avoid harsh cleaners or unauthorised repair treatments on Prada bags.

Q: Can I use a suede bag like this in the rain?
A: It is best to avoid heavy rain and prolonged moisture. Suede can mark if it becomes wet, so if the bag is caught in light rain, let it dry naturally away from direct heat or sunlight and then brush the nap gently once dry.

Q: Does suede pick up colour transfer or scuffs easily?
A: It can. Suede is a more delicate finish than many smooth leathers, so darker garments, rough surfaces and everyday friction may leave marks over time. Taking extra care with dark denim, coated fabrics and wet conditions can help preserve the finish.

Q: What is included with this item?
A: This bag includes a detachable shoulder strap and a name tag. Everything included with the item is listed in the product information on this page.

Q: Where was this bag made, and is it authentic?
A: The country of origin label states Italy. Every item sold by A Retro Tale is authenticated by in-house experts through a multi-step review process, and an optional third-party digital certificate service may also be available separately.
