BalenciagaMini Le Cagole Duffle Bag

Q: What are the measurements and what will it fit?
A: Approximately 19.8 x 14 x 12 cm (W x H x D). As a compact mini duffle, it comfortably fits most large smartphones, a small wallet or cardholder, keys, lip balm and the included pouch. It will not fit a tablet or a standard full-size water bottle.

Q: Can it be worn crossbody as well as by hand?
A: Yes. It has dual top handles for hand carry and an adjustable, detachable shoulder strap for shoulder or crossbody wear. On this item, the strap drop is about 53 cm at the longest setting and the handle drop is about 9 cm.

Q: What is included with this bag?
A: As listed in the product information, this piece comes with a detachable shoulder strap, a zipped pouch and the signature heart-shaped mirror. If an item such as a dust bag or card is not listed in the product information, it is not included.

Q: What kind of leather and hardware does it have?
A: Le Cagole designs use crinkled, distressed leather paired with aged silver-tone hardware. The lived-in finish is intentional; light creasing and softening are part of the aesthetic and may become more pronounced with use.

Q: Will a large smartphone fit inside?
A: Yes, most large smartphones (including plus/pro-max sizes in a slim case) fit comfortably alongside small essentials. For certainty, compare your phone’s dimensions with the internal capacity noted by the measurements above.

Q: Is white leather prone to colour transfer?
A: Light leathers can pick up dye from dark fabrics (especially new denim). To minimise transfer, avoid prolonged contact with dark, non-colourfast clothing and wipe the bag with a soft, dry cloth after wear.

Q: How should I care for the distressed leather?
A: Keep it away from moisture and oils; wipe gently with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth for light marks. Avoid harsh cleaners and colourless conditioners unless spot-tested first. Store it loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag, away from direct sunlight and heat. For deeper cleaning or restoration, consult a professional leather specialist.

Q: Are the mirror and zipped pouch removable?
A: Yes, both are detachable so you can style the bag with or without them or move them onto the strap as you prefer.

Q: Where is this piece made?
A: It is made in Italy.

Q: What is the condition of this specific item?
A: Very good overall. The exterior shows some corner wear; the interior has light traces of use; the hardware remains shiny with light scratches. Please review the photos for close-up details.

Q: How do you authenticate this bag?
A: Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously authenticated by our in-house experts using multi-point checks of materials, stitching, hardware and stamps. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide further details on request.
