Q: What are the measurements and what typically fits inside? A: The bag measures approximately 23 × 13 × 6 cm with a strap drop of about 20 cm. It comfortably holds a smartphone, small wallet or cardholder, keys, lip balm and a few compact essentials. Slim sunglasses can fit if you use a soft pouch. It is not designed for tablets or water bottles.
Q: Will a long continental wallet fit? A: A slim continental wallet (around 19 × 10 cm) can fit, but it reduces interior space. For a more practical everyday carry, we recommend a compact wallet or cardholder to maximise capacity for other essentials.
Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.

Delivery & Returns
Q: What are the measurements and what typically fits inside? A: The bag measures approximately 23 × 13 × 6 cm with a strap drop of about 20 cm. It comfortably holds a smartphone, small wallet or cardholder, keys, lip balm and a few compact essentials. Slim sunglasses can fit if you use a soft pouch. It is not designed for tablets or water bottles.
Q: Is the strap adjustable or suitable for crossbody wear? A: This vintage mini Tessuto is designed as a short-strap shoulder bag. The strap is not adjustable and it is not intended to be worn crossbody. If you prefer hands‑free wear, consider a different style with a longer or detachable strap.
Q: How does Tessuto nylon perform in rain—Is it waterproof? A: Prada’s Tessuto nylon is durable and generally water‑resistant, meaning it can handle light rain or splashes. It is not fully waterproof, so avoid heavy downpours or soaking and wipe off moisture promptly with a soft cloth.
Q: How should I clean and care for Tessuto nylon? A: Spot‑clean with a soft, slightly damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap, then blot with clean water and allow to air dry. Avoid bleach, alcohol, harsh chemicals, machine washing or heat drying. Store the bag loosely stuffed in its dust bag, away from direct sunlight and humidity, to maintain shape and colour.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information on this page. For this piece, that currently includes a dust bag and an authenticity card. If an item isn’t listed there, it is not included.
Q: How do you authenticate this Prada bag? A: Every piece at A Retro Tale undergoes multi‑point authentication by our in‑house experts, including checks of materials, stitching, logo plaques, lining, hardware and zips, and era‑appropriate details. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and are happy to provide further details on request.
Q: How does this vintage 2000s Mini Tessuto differ from the modern Re‑Edition 2000/2005 versions? A: The modern Re‑Edition range reinterprets early‑2000s minis; many 2005 versions include an additional webbing strap and pouch, while the classic 2000 mini features a short shoulder strap. Recent models often use regenerated Re‑Nylon, whereas this piece is an original 2000s Tessuto nylon bag with period‑correct styling.
Q: Will a long continental wallet fit? A: A slim continental wallet (around 19 × 10 cm) can fit, but it reduces interior space. For a more practical everyday carry, we recommend a compact wallet or cardholder to maximise capacity for other essentials.
Q: What is the hardware finish and how should I look after it? A: The hardware is silver‑toned. Light surface scratches are normal with gentle vintage use. To care for it, avoid abrasive contact, store separately from sharp objects and wipe with a soft dry cloth after use.
Q: Where was this bag made and what era is it from? A: This piece was made in Italy and dates to the 2000s era, as noted in the product information and description.
