Designed for polished days in the city, the Saint Laurent Le 5 À 7 Bea in black grained leather is ideal for office hours and after-dark plans. Dual shoulder straps sit comfortably from commute to meetings, while the spacious profile keeps documents and daily essentials in order. Finished with gold-tone accents, it transitions effortlessly to dinner, pairing with sharp tailoring or a relaxed trench.
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 are the dimensions and strap drop of the Le 5 À 7 Bea? A: Approximately 50 × 28 × 18 cm with a strap drop of about 28 cm. This east–west tote is designed to be lightweight yet spacious for daily use.
Q: What typically fits inside this bag? A: Everyday work essentials comfortably fit, including a large wallet, water bottle, makeup pouch, A4 documents, and most 13-inch (and some slim 14-inch) laptops. Capacity depends on your case and how you pack—refer to the Measurements on this page for exact sizing.
Q: How does the closure and interior work? A: The bag secures with a leather tab and hook decorated with the YSL Cassandre. Inside you’ll find a suede-lined interior with one zipped pocket. There are also internal side ties that can be cinched to adjust the silhouette and keep contents more secure.
Q: What materials is the Bea made from? A: The Le 5 À 7 Bea is crafted from finely grained deerskin leather with a soft suede lining. This gives the bag a supple feel while maintaining gentle structure for everyday carry.
Q: Is the hardware gold or silver? A: Hardware tone varies by colourway and season. The specific piece listed here features gold-tone hardware—please check the photos and description for the exact finish of this item.
Q: How comfortable is it to wear on the shoulder? A: The wide, flat straps are designed to sit comfortably on the shoulder, distributing weight well for commuting or travel. The east–west profile keeps the bag close to the body for easy access.
Q: How does the Bea differ from the standard Le 5 À 7 hobo? A: The Bea is a larger east–west tote with dual shoulder straps and greater capacity, ideal for work or travel. The classic Le 5 À 7 hobo is a smaller, single-strap shoulder bag designed for day-to-night essentials.
Q: Is there a smaller version of the Bea? A: Yes, Saint Laurent also offers a Baby Bea, which retains the same design codes in a more compact size. Availability varies by season and retailer.
Q: How should I care for grained deerskin leather and suede lining? A: Wipe the exterior gently with a soft, dry cloth after use, keep it away from prolonged moisture and direct heat, and store it stuffed in a breathable dust bag to maintain shape. Avoid harsh cleaners; for deep cleaning or repairs, use a professional leather specialist. Consider a felt bag organiser to protect the lining and help the bag keep its structure.
Q: What is included with this specific item? A: This listing notes no accessories are included. All inclusions are always stated under the Accessories section—if it isn’t listed, it isn’t included.
Q: What is the condition of this specific piece? A: Exterior: Good, with slight scuffing on the corners. Interior: Very Good, with light signs of use. Hardware: Shiny with light scratches. Please review the photos for the most accurate view.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this bag? A: Every item undergoes multi-point checks by our in-house experts, including materials, stitching, brand markings, stamps, and hardware. We stand behind the authenticity of all items and are happy to provide additional details on request.
