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 this Saint Laurent crossbody bag? A: With measurements around 22 × 15.5 × 6 cm, it comfortably holds a large smartphone, compact wallet or cardholder, keys, small cosmetics and slim sunglasses. It will not fit a tablet; an e‑reader such as a Kindle Paperwhite may not fit upright and would be a very tight squeeze diagonally.
Q: Is the strap adjustable or removable? A: The strap is adjustable for length and designed to be worn crossbody or on the shoulder. It is not intended to be detached. The listing notes an approximate maximum drop of 40 cm; please check our measurements to ensure your ideal fit.
Q: How will a 40 cm strap drop sit on the body? A: A 40 cm maximum drop typically sits higher on the torso than many crossbody bags. On average heights it tends to sit around high-hip to rib level; petite frames may achieve a lower drop. If you prefer extra length, a strap extender from a leather specialist may help, or consider wearing it on the shoulder.
Q: What is the closure and pocket layout? A: It features a secure zip closure, one external zip pocket for quick-access items, and a fabric-lined interior with a small slip pocket for cards or tickets.
Q: How should I care for canvas with leather trim and black‑toned hardware? A: Spot‑clean the canvas with a soft, damp cloth and a little mild soap if needed, then blot dry. Wipe leather trim with a dry cloth and use a dedicated leather conditioner sparingly; avoid soaking leather or using harsh cleaners and alcohol/hand sanitiser. Store lightly stuffed in a breathable dust bag away from direct heat or sunlight. Black‑toned hardware can show micro‑scratches with friction; avoid rubbing against keys or coarse surfaces and polish gently with a lint‑free cloth only.
Q: Is the bag water‑resistant? A: Canvas offers some resistance to light splashes but this bag is not waterproof, and leather trim is sensitive to moisture. If it gets wet, wipe off droplets and allow it to air‑dry naturally away from heat. A fabric protector may help on canvas only—always test on a discreet area first and keep products off the leather trim and hardware.
Q: Where would the serial/date code be and what does it indicate? A: Many Saint Laurent bags have a serial/date code heat‑stamped on a small leather tag or panel inside the bag; formats on newer pieces often include letters and numbers with a dot, and the final digits can denote month and year of production. Placement can vary by style and era. This listing does not display a serial number in the product information—please contact us if you’d like us to recheck inside for you.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed in the product information. This piece is sold as shown, with no additional items.
Q: What condition should I expect? A: Very good condition means light, careful wear. You can expect minor signs of use on the canvas and leather trim and small, superficial scratches on the black‑toned hardware. Any notable marks are shown in the photos and described in the product information.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this bag? A: Every item is thoroughly inspected by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks across materials, stitching, hardware engravings, brand stamps and serial/date codes where present. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and are happy to share additional product information on request.
