Chloé Small Paraty Bag

Q: What typically fits inside the Chloé Small Paraty Bag?
A: With approximate measurements of 35 x 25 x 13 cm, it is a practical everyday size for essentials such as a phone, wallet, keys, sunglasses, a cosmetics pouch and a small notebook or tablet. It offers good daily capacity without feeling oversized.

Q: Can I carry it by hand or on the shoulder?
A: Yes. This bag has dual top handles with an approximate 14 cm handle drop, plus a single shoulder strap with an approximate 35 cm drop. It works well as a handheld or shoulder style; for most people, it is not a true crossbody fit.

Q: Does the small size fit A4 documents or a laptop?
A: Not comfortably. The Small Paraty is better suited to personal essentials than work-sized items, so most laptops and full A4 folders will be too large or awkward for the structured shape and zip opening.

Q: How is the interior organised?
A: The bag is lined in black textile and has one internal pocket, which is useful for smaller items such as cards, keys or lipstick. The zip closure helps keep your belongings secure.

Q: What condition is this vintage bag in?
A: This piece is listed in Very Good condition. There is light wear on the corners, light traces of use inside, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches consistent with gentle pre-owned wear.

Q: What is included with this item?
A: No additional items are listed in the product information for this piece.

Q: Is there a serial number or authenticity card?
A: No serial number or authenticity card is listed in the product information for this bag. If you would like extra detail before purchase, it is worth requesting additional close-up images.

Q: How should I care for the leather and hardware?
A: To keep vintage leather looking its best, wipe it gently with a soft dry or slightly damp cloth, avoid harsh cleaners, and keep it away from direct heat, prolonged sunlight and heavy rain. When not in use, store it lightly stuffed in a breathable fabric bag to help maintain its shape.

Q: How do you authenticate this bag?
A: Every item sold by A Retro Tale is authenticated by in-house experts through a detailed review of materials, stitching, hardware and production details, so you can shop with confidence.
