Q: How secure is the closure? A: The bag has a flap with a magnetic snap closure and an interior zip pocket, providing quick access with added security for smaller valuables.
Q: Is Prada’s Nappa Gaufre leather delicate? A: Nappa lambskin is exceptionally soft and luxurious, and the gaufre (ruched/pleated) finish gives beautiful texture. It is more delicate than structured leathers, so it benefits from mindful use and gentle handling to avoid scuffs and pulls on the pleats.
Q: How should I care for this leather and the ruching? A: Keep the bag away from rain, oils and dyed fabrics; handle with clean, dry hands. After use, gently wipe with a soft dry cloth, then store it loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag to support the pleats. Use a high-quality neutral leather conditioner sparingly on clean, dry leather and always patch-test first. For significant marks or repairs, consult a professional leather specialist.
Q: Will the pleats flatten over time? A: Some softening of the ruching is normal with regular wear. Avoid overfilling and prolonged pressure against the surface, rotate your bags in use, and store it stuffed to help maintain the gathered effect.
Q: When was the Gaufre style introduced? A: Prada popularised the gaufre (ruched) lambskin line in the mid‑2000s and has revisited it in later seasons. This piece is part of that classic, textured leather family.
Q: What accessories are included with this item? A: This bag comes with an authenticity card and brand booklets as listed in the Accessories section. If a dust bag or box is not listed, it is not included.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this bag? A: Every item we sell undergoes rigorous multi‑point authentication by our in‑house experts, including checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and interior details. We stand behind the authenticity of all items and can provide further information on request.
Q: Are there any signs of wear I should note? A: Yes. External condition is good with visible scuffing to corners and edges and a minor stain on the back. The interior shows light traces of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches. Please review the photos for a close look at the condition.
