Perfect for city evenings and smart occasions, the Saint Laurent Nano Sac de Jour in black croc-embossed leather adds polished edge to cocktail parties, gallery openings and dinner dates. Compact yet impactful, it carries the essentials and seamlessly elevates an all-black, tailored or minimalist look from day to night.
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 Nano Sac de Jour? A: Despite its compact footprint (approx. 22 × 17 × 10 cm), it comfortably holds a large smartphone, a compact wallet or cardholder, keys, earbuds, a small cosmetics pouch and sunglasses in a soft case. Packing bulkier items or a hard case will reduce capacity—refer to the Measurements above for exact dimensions.
Q: Can I wear it crossbody as well as by hand? A: Yes. It has dual rolled top handles for hand or crook‑of‑arm carry, plus a detachable, adjustable shoulder strap with an approximate drop of up to 60 cm, making it suitable for shoulder or crossbody wear on most heights.
Q: How secure is the opening—does it have a zip? A: The Nano Sac de Jour has an open top with side compression/snap tabs and a structured interior. It does not have a top zip. For added security, we recommend using a small pouch for valuables and keeping the side tabs snapped when on the move.
Q: Is the crocodile effect real exotic skin? A: No. This piece is crafted from calf leather embossed to mimic a crocodile pattern. It offers the distinctive textured look without the care requirements or restrictions associated with genuine exotic skins.
Q: Does it come with feet and what hardware finish does it have? A: Yes, the base is protected by metal feet to help reduce wear when setting the bag down. The hardware on this item is silver‑toned with a polished finish.
Q: What accessories are included with this specific bag? A: This item comes with a detachable shoulder strap, padlock, clochette and keys. Everything included is listed under Accessories; if an item isn’t listed there, it is not included.
Q: Will a long/continental wallet fit? A: A slim long wallet may fit, but it will take up most of the interior and can make the bag feel tight. For best organisation and easy access, a compact wallet or cardholder is recommended.
Q: How should I care for crocodile‑embossed leather? A: Wipe gently with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth; avoid harsh cleaners, oils and prolonged exposure to moisture, heat or direct sunlight. Store loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag, keep the strap detached to prevent marks, and avoid contact with dark fabrics that may transfer colour.
Q: Is this bag made in Italy and how do you authenticate it? A: Yes, Sac de Jour bags are made in Italy. Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously authenticated by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware and brand markings. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and are happy to provide further details on request.
