An elegant choice for cocktails, weddings or gallery openings, Saint Laurent’s Medium Sunset in black crocodile-embossed leather elevates any evening look. The sliding chain-and-leather strap offers effortless wear, while the magnetic flap and two compartments keep small essentials organised for chic nights out.
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.
Q: What typically fits inside the Saint Laurent Sunset Medium? A: With a structured, double‑compartment interior and dimensions of approx. 22 × 16.5 × 7 cm for this exact piece, it comfortably carries a large smartphone, compact wallet or cardholder, keys, lipstick and slim sunglasses in a soft case. The dividers limit bulk, so full‑length continental wallets, small water bottles and tablets are usually a squeeze. For a tailored fit check, compare your items with the Measurements on this page or ask us to test this exact bag for you.
Q: Can I wear it crossbody and is the strap adjustable? A: The Sunset features a sliding chain‑and‑leather strap that can be doubled for a shorter shoulder carry or extended for shoulder or high crossbody wear. Our listing notes an overall strap length of about 110 cm for this piece; crossbody drop will vary by height and how the chain is configured. For a shorter crossbody on petite frames, you can loop the chain inside temporarily (avoid permanent alterations).
Q: What is the interior layout? A: This bag has a black suede lining with two main compartments and one interior pocket. Sunset models often include slim slip pockets under the flap or at the back; please refer to our photos to see the exact configuration of this piece.
Q: How secure is the closure? A: It uses a magnetic flap closure that keeps essentials secure for day‑to‑evening wear. For commuting, we recommend placing valuables in the interior pocket and keeping the bag upright.
Q: What is the leather and how durable is it? A: It is crafted from crocodile‑embossed calfskin, which offers a structured feel and good everyday durability compared with very soft leathers. As with all natural leather, avoid moisture, oils and prolonged sunlight, and be mindful of abrasion on corners. Wipe with a soft, dry cloth only; condition sparingly and never on the hardware or embossed depressions.
Q: How should I care for the suede lining? A: Use a clean, soft brush to lift dust and avoid liquids inside the bag. If lightly marked, a suede eraser/brush can help; for deeper cleaning, consult a luxury leather specialist. Always store the bag lightly stuffed and upright in a breathable dust bag.
Q: Will the chain strap leave marks on the leather during storage? A: Chain impressions can occur if the strap rests against the leather for long periods. To minimise marks, tuck the chain inside the bag and pad it with soft felt or tissue, store the bag upright and lightly stuffed, and avoid compressing the flap.
Q: Is the Sunset Medium a current style? A: The Sunset line has been a core Saint Laurent design for several years, released in various finishes (including smooth and crocodile‑embossed calfskin). Seasonal availability can vary by colour and hardware; the pre‑loved market is a reliable way to find specific configurations like this one.
Q: Where is it made and what brand markings should I expect? A: This piece is labelled Made in Italy. Authentic Saint Laurent bags typically feature a “SAINT LAURENT PARIS” heat‑stamp inside and a small leather tag with a serial/production code placed within or behind an interior pocket. Stamp style and code format can vary by season and year—contact us if you’d like close‑ups for this bag.
Q: What accessories are included and how do you authenticate? A: Everything included is listed under “Accessories.” This specific listing states “no accessories.” Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes rigorous, multi‑point authentication by our in‑house experts, assessing materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, codes and overall construction. We stand behind the authenticity of every piece we sell.
