Q: Is Prada Tessuto nylon durable for regular use?

As with any vintage luxury item, it should still be handled with care, especially around corners, hardware, and the strap, but Tessuto is generally considered a practical and resilient material for everyday wear.

Q: Is this bag suitable for rainy weather?
