Perfect for desk-to-dinner days, this Small Le 5 à 7 in black grained leather brings polished ease to the commute, client meetings and evening plans. Its compact hobo silhouette sits neatly on the shoulder, pairing effortlessly with tailored separates or weekend denim for a sleek, Parisian finish.
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 in the Small Le 5 à 7 Supple Hobo? A: Based on this piece’s measurements (approx. 22 × 20 × 9 cm), it comfortably fits a large smartphone, compact wallet or cardholder, keys, sunglasses in a slim case, and a few small cosmetics. The internal zipped pocket helps organise valuables. Bulky long wallets, tablets and water bottles are unlikely to fit comfortably.
Q: How does the Cassandre hook closure work, and is it secure? A: The tab slips over the top opening and hooks onto the YSL Cassandre hardware. It is designed for quick access and stays secure during normal use when the bag isn’t overfilled. As with any open-top style, we recommend keeping the bag upright and not overstuffed, especially in crowded settings or when travelling.
Q: Is the strap adjustable and can it be worn crossbody? A: The single shoulder strap is adjustable for a tailored drop on the shoulder (approx. 22 cm on this piece), but it is not designed for crossbody wear and is not removable. It is intended to sit neatly under the arm or be carried in the crook of the elbow.
Q: What is the interior like? A: The bag has a black suede lining with one internal zipped pocket and a single main compartment. The layout keeps essentials streamlined while maintaining the hobo’s relaxed silhouette.
Q: How durable is the grained leather and how should I care for it? A: Saint Laurent’s grained leather offers a gently pebbled texture that tends to resist light surface marks better than smooth leather. Wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth, allow to air dry, and avoid heavy rain, oils, or harsh cleaners. Store loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag away from direct heat and sunlight to help maintain the shape and colour.
Q: Does this bag have protective feet or an external pocket? A: No, the Small Le 5 à 7 Supple Hobo has a smooth base without feet and a clean exterior without external pockets, preserving its minimal silhouette.
Q: Is it comfortable to carry for everyday use? A: Yes. The supple construction allows the bag to mould slightly to the body, and the strap is designed to sit comfortably on the shoulder for day-to-night wear.
Q: What items are included with this piece? A: Everything included is listed under the product information on this page. For this specific item, no additional items are listed.
Q: What is the condition of this bag? A: This piece is graded Very Good, showing light traces of use on the exterior and interior, with hardware that remains shiny and shows only light scratches. Please refer to the product information for full condition notes.
Q: How do you authenticate this item? A: Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes a rigorous, multi-point inspection by our in-house experts, including checks of materials, stitching, stamps, hardware, and construction. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide further details upon request.
