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 fits inside the Saint Laurent Small Kahala Tote? A: This compact, flat tote (approximately 25 × 21 × 2 cm) is designed for essentials. It comfortably holds a large smartphone, a cardholder or compact wallet, keys, and a few small cosmetics. Due to its slim depth and narrow width, it does not fit a laptop, tablet, or bulky water bottle. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for specific dimensions.
Q: How do I carry this bag? A: This specific version of the Kahala features a single flat shoulder strap. With a strap measurement of approximately 51 cm, it is designed to be worn comfortably on the shoulder or carried by hand, depending on your preference and the exact strap drop. If you need a specific drop measurement to confirm the fit, please contact us.
Q: Does the bag have a closure? A: The Kahala line typically features an open top with a drawstring or cinch detail that allows you to gather the top slightly. As vintage iterations can vary, we recommend reviewing the detailed photos to see the exact closure configuration of this piece.
Q: What materials is this bag made from? A: This tote is crafted from durable brown canvas with brown leather trim and features the iconic large YSL logo stitched in suede on the front. It is lined with dark satin. The combination of canvas and suede gives it a distinct vintage appeal.
Q: How should I care for the canvas and suede logo? A: Canvas is durable but should be kept dry; if it gets dirty, spot-clean gently with a damp, soft cloth and mild soap (avoiding the leather and suede). The suede YSL logo should be kept away from water and oils; use a soft suede brush to remove dust and restore the nap. Condition the leather trim sparingly with a neutral leather product.
Q: Is this a vintage item? A: Yes, the Saint Laurent Kahala is a celebrated style from the early 2000s, known for its bold branding and relaxed silhouette. As a vintage piece, it may show characteristic signs of age—please refer to the “Condition” section for a detailed report on this specific bag.
Q: What accessories are included? A: Included accessories are listed under the “Accessories” section. For this item, it is noted as having “no accessories” (such as a dust bag or box). If you have further questions about what comes with the bag, feel free to contact us.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by our in-house experts using multi-point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, brand stamps, and overall construction. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell.
