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 this Saint Laurent Yves clutch? A: With approximate dimensions of 24 × 18 × 3 cm, it comfortably carries a large smartphone, a slim cardholder or small wallet, keys, lipstick, and other flat essentials. Bulky items (water bottle, full‑size long wallet, sunglasses in a hard case) are unlikely to fit. Pack flatter items to keep the quilting crisp.
Q: Does it come with a strap, and can I add one? A: This piece is designed as a handheld clutch with a magnetic flap and no built‑in strap or D‑rings. Some third‑party organisers with add‑on chains exist, but using them may mark the lining or stress the flap; any modifications are at your discretion and not recommended if you wish to preserve vintage condition.
Q: How secure is the magnetic closure, and will it affect my cards? A: The magnetic flap provides reliable day‑to‑evening security under normal use. As with any magnet, keep traditional magnetic‑stripe cards a short distance from the clasp to avoid potential demagnetisation; EMV chip cards are generally unaffected. A simple tip is to keep your wallet’s stripe facing away from the closure.
Q: What are the materials and layout? A: It features black chevron‑quilted leather with brass hardware, a logo‑jacquard lining, one main compartment, and a magnetic flap closure. This is a vintage piece with classic Saint Laurent styling.
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 brand booklets. If an item is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: How should I care for the leather and quilting? A: Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth after wear. Avoid harsh cleaners, alcohol, and excessive moisture. Store lightly stuffed in its dust bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the clutch’s shape and quilting. Avoid overfilling to minimise corner wear and imprinting on the leather.
Q: Where would I find a Saint Laurent serial or production code on a vintage piece? A: Saint Laurent typically embosses a code on a small internal leather tag; formats vary by era and may be all digits or a mix of letters and digits. On older pieces the code can be faint or partially worn. Our team can help point it out in person or in additional photos on request.
Q: Is this item authentic? A: Yes. Every item at A Retro Tale is professionally authenticated using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, stamps, hardware, and construction. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can share further details if you need them.
Q: Is this clutch suitable for everyday use or better for occasions? A: Its slim, structured profile makes it ideal for evenings, weddings, and events, and for minimalist daily carry. As a vintage item in very good condition with light corner scuffing and minor hardware/lining marks, we recommend mindful use to preserve its finish.
