Q: What typically fits inside the Small Dune Raffia Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 27 × 15 × 12 cm, it comfortably holds a large smartphone, long wallet or cardholder, keys, sunglasses in a slim case, and a few small cosmetics. For longevity, avoid overfilling and do not carry liquids inside as raffia dislikes moisture.
Q: Can it be worn crossbody as well as by hand? A: Yes. The bag has dual top handles for hand or crook-of-arm carry and an adjustable, detachable shoulder strap that allows comfortable shoulder or crossbody wear for most heights.
Q: How should I clean a raffia bag? A: Regularly dust with a soft brush or lint-free cloth. For minor marks, spot clean with a barely damp cloth and a drop of mild soap, then wipe with clean water and air-dry. Never soak the bag. Clean the leather trim separately with a suitable leather-care product, testing on a small area first.

Q: How secure and organised is the interior? A: The bag closes with a zip for secure storage. Inside, the leather-lined interior includes a slip pocket to organise small items like cards or travel tickets.
Q: Is raffia durable enough for everyday use? A: Raffia is lightweight yet strong and suitable for regular wear when treated with care. Like any woven material, it can snag on rough surfaces; avoid heavy or sharp items and be mindful of contact with zips, jewellery, or coarse denim to preserve the weave.
Q: Can I use this bag in the rain? A: Try to keep raffia dry. If the bag gets wet, blot gently, reshape, and let it air-dry naturally away from heat sources. Stuff lightly with clean tissue while drying to help maintain its form. Avoid hairdryers or radiators, and keep the leather trim away from light clothing when damp.
Q: How should I clean a raffia bag? A: Regularly dust with a soft brush or lint-free cloth. For minor marks, spot clean with a barely damp cloth and a drop of mild soap, then wipe with clean water and air-dry. Never soak the bag. Clean the leather trim separately with a suitable leather-care product, testing on a small area first.
Q: How should I store it to keep its shape? A: Store it loosely stuffed with acid-free tissue in its dust bag, in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Do not hang it by the strap for long periods; lay it flat or upright so the weave isn’t crushed. Air it occasionally to prevent humidity build-up.
Q: What if small fibres stick out of the weave over time? A: It’s normal for a few fibres to lift with wear. Carefully trim any flyaway strands with small scissors—do not pull them. This tidies the surface without damaging the braid.
Q: Where is this piece made and what’s included? A: This item is made in Italy. It comes with a dust bag and original tags, as listed under Accessories. If an accessory isn’t listed, it isn’t included.
Q: How do you ensure authenticity? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by our in-house experts through multi-point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, and overall construction. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide further details on request.
