Delivery & Returns
Q: What is Prada Tessuto? A: Tessuto is Prada’s signature nylon fabric, known for being lightweight, durable and easy to wear day to day. Prada’s nylon designs became iconic from the 1980s onwards, and this backpack pairs black Tessuto nylon with black leather trim for a practical yet polished look.

It should also suit a small tablet or e-reader. For larger devices, please compare them with the Measurements on this page before purchasing.
Q: How does this backpack close? A: This style features a flap with buckle and drawstring closure, which helps keep the contents secure while giving the bag its classic Prada backpack shape. It also has one external zip pocket for smaller items you may want to reach quickly.
Q: Are the shoulder straps adjustable? A: Yes. This backpack has dual adjustable shoulder straps, so you can alter the fit for more comfortable wear. It also has a single flat top handle for carrying by hand when needed.
Q: Is Prada Tessuto water-resistant? A: Tessuto nylon is generally more practical around light moisture than delicate leather and is appreciated for everyday resilience, but it is not a fully waterproof technical fabric. It is best to avoid heavy rain, soaking, or machine washing, and to let the bag dry naturally if it becomes damp.
Q: Is this the same as Prada Re-Nylon? A: Not exactly. This piece is listed as a vintage Prada Tessuto backpack, which generally refers to Prada’s classic nylon rather than the later Re-Nylon line. Prada introduced Re-Nylon in 2019 and completed its shift to Re-Nylon by the end of 2021, so vintage Tessuto pieces are usually earlier than that transition.
Q: How should I care for a vintage Prada nylon backpack? A: Handle it gently, avoid overloading it, and keep it away from direct heat, strong sunlight, oils, perfumes and cosmetics. Let it air out after use and avoid cleaning it too often. For more thorough cleaning or repairs, a specialist cleaner or Prada service is the safest option, and it is best to store it in its dust bag when not in use.
Q: What condition is this specific backpack in? A: This item is in good vintage condition. There is a visible mark on the nylon, marks on the leather details, light traces of use inside, and light scratches on the shiny hardware. Please review the product images carefully for the best impression of the overall wear.
Q: What is included with this backpack? A: A dust bag is included with this item. For the clearest overview of what comes with the backpack, please refer to the product information on this page.
Q: How is authenticity checked on a Prada nylon backpack? A: Authenticity is judged through the overall combination of details rather than one single feature. Specialists typically assess the logo plaque, lining, stitching, hardware, interior tags and overall construction. Buying from a trusted vintage retailer with established authentication procedures is the most reliable approach.
