Q: What are the measurements and how can I carry it? A: The bag measures approximately 27 cm (W) × 23 cm (H) × 9 cm (D) with a handle drop of about 12 cm. It includes a detachable, adjustable shoulder strap with an approximate drop of 57 cm, so you can carry it by hand, on the shoulder, or crossbody.
Q: What typically fits inside this medium Galleria? A: Daily essentials such as a long wallet, smartphone, keys, sunglasses case, a small cosmetics pouch, and an A5 diary or tablet (around 11 inches without a bulky case) fit comfortably. Capacity depends on how you organise the three compartments—please refer to the Measurements for exact sizing.
Q: Can I wear it crossbody comfortably? A: Yes. The detachable strap is adjustable, and at approximately 57 cm drop it suits most heights for shoulder or crossbody wear. You can also remove the strap for a classic top‑handle look.

Q: What typically fits inside this medium Galleria?

Capacity depends on how you organise the three compartments—please refer to the Measurements for exact sizing.
Q: How is the interior organised? A: It features three main compartments (two zip compartments and an open central compartment) and two internal pockets, making it easy to separate work and daily essentials.
Q: Can I wear it crossbody comfortably? A: Yes. The detachable strap is adjustable, and at approximately 57 cm drop it suits most heights for shoulder or crossbody wear. You can also remove the strap for a classic top‑handle look.
Q: What is Spazzolato leather? A: Spazzolato is high‑shine polished calf leather. The name comes from the Italian for “brushed”. It delivers a sleek, mirror‑like finish that is dressier than most smooth leathers.
Q: How does Spazzolato differ from Saffiano leather? A: Spazzolato has a smooth, glossy surface with a polished shine, while Saffiano has a cross‑hatched, textured finish that is known for its scratch and water resistance. Both are durable, but the look and feel are different—choose based on the finish you prefer.
Q: How should I care for the Spazzolato (patent‑like) leather? A: Wipe gently with a clean, dry, soft cloth. Avoid alcohol, acetone, or harsh cleaners. Keep away from prolonged heat, moisture, and direct sunlight. Store in a breathable dust bag with light stuffing to maintain shape, and avoid overfilling to prevent creasing.
Q: Is colour transfer a risk with this finish? A: Yes, as with most glossy patent‑like leathers. Minimise contact with dark denim or freshly dyed fabrics, avoid rubbing against abrasive surfaces, and store the bag separately. If transfer occurs, address it promptly with a soft cloth; for stubborn marks, consult a leather care professional.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed in the product information. For this piece, the inclusions are an authenticity card and a detachable shoulder strap. If you need clarification, please contact us before purchase.
Q: Is this item authentic and what is its condition? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully authenticated by our in‑house experts. This vintage piece is in very good condition with light signs of use: minor surface scratches on the Spazzolato leather, a clean interior with light wear, and shiny hardware with light hairline scratches.
