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 Louis GM? A: With approximate measurements of 31 × 56 × 18 cm, the GM comfortably carries daily and work essentials: a large smartphone, continental wallet, keys, slim sunglasses in a soft case, cosmetics pouch, A4 documents/folders, a 500 ml water bottle and a laptop/tablet with sleeve. Capacity depends on how you organise the interior—compare your items to the Measurements on this page or ask us for a tailored fit check for this exact piece.
Q: Will it fit a 15–16 inch laptop? A: Yes, the GM size typically accommodates 15–16 inch laptops. Because the bag is soft and open‑top, we recommend a padded sleeve and avoiding sharp corners or excessive weight to preserve the canvas and handle integrity. We’re happy to test a specific device for you.
Q: Is the Saint Louis GM reversible? A: Yes. The Saint Louis is designed to be fully reversible: you can wear it with the Goyardine coated canvas facing out, or inside‑out to show the linen/cotton side. The tote is unlined and notably lightweight, and it comes with a removable pouch attached to one handle.
Q: Does it have a closure or interior pockets? A: The Saint Louis GM has an open‑top design and no built‑in pockets. Organisation is provided by the detachable pouch included with the bag. Many owners add a slim bag organiser to create structure and extra compartments without stressing the seams.
Q: Is it structured? Will it stand up on its own? A: The Saint Louis is softly structured and designed to slouch; it will not stand rigidly on its own when empty. If you prefer a more structured look, a lightweight organiser insert can help the tote keep its shape.
Q: How much weight can it carry? Is it suitable for heavy loads? A: It’s a feather‑light carryall intended for everyday essentials. While it can handle a laptop and daily items, consistently carrying very heavy loads (e.g., multiple books or bottles) can accelerate wear at the handles and corners. Distribute weight evenly and avoid overstuffing for longevity.
Q: What is Goyardine, and is it water‑resistant? A: Goyardine is Maison Goyard’s signature coated canvas made from a tightly woven cotton/linen base with a light resin coating. It is light, durable and water‑resistant to light moisture, but not fully waterproof. Avoid heavy rain and blot gently if damp. Keep away from alcohol/solvent‑based products, oils and inks, and from prolonged heat or direct sunlight.
Q: How does the Saint Louis differ from the Artois tote? A: The Saint Louis is unstructured, open‑top and reversible, with a detachable pouch. The Artois is a more structured, secure alternative featuring reinforced leather corners, a zip closure and an interior pocket—ideal if you want extra shape and security.
Q: How does it wear on the shoulder? A: This piece has an approximate handle drop of 16 cm, which suits shoulder carry over light layers and a comfortable hand or crook‑of‑arm carry. Over thick winter coats it may feel snug; if you’d like, we can share a try‑on photo for scale.
Q: How should I care for and store this bag? A: Wipe with a clean, soft cloth and avoid harsh cleaners. Keep away from moisture and prolonged light/heat, and be mindful of colour transfer from dark denim onto lighter colours. Store upright, lightly stuffed, in a breathable dust bag; rest the bag periodically and tuck the pouch strap flat to prevent impressions on the canvas.
Q: What accessories are included with this item and how do you authenticate? A: For this specific listing, we include the box, dust bag, brand booklets and the detachable pouch (see Accessories). Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes multi‑point authentication by our in‑house experts, assessing materials, stitching, hardware, stamps/codes and overall construction; additional photos or a video review are available on request.
