An effortless day‑to‑night companion, the Saint Laurent Medium LouLou in black Y‑quilted leather brings polish to office wardrobes and after‑dark plans alike. Its sleek profile and sliding chain strap lend refined ease for dinner dates, theatre nights, or weekend city strolls—elevating tailoring and denim in equal measure.
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 size and strap details of the Medium LouLou? A: This piece measures approximately 30 × 23 × 11 cm. The sliding chain strap can be worn doubled on the shoulder with about a 25 cm drop, or extended for cross‑body wear with about a 45 cm drop.
Q: What fits inside for everyday use? A: It comfortably holds a long wallet, smartphone, keys, sunglasses case, small cosmetics pouch and a compact umbrella or small water bottle. An 11-inch tablet or e‑reader fits; a 13‑inch laptop does not. For valuables, use the internal zip pocket.
Q: How is the interior organised? A: The bag has a black fabric lining with two main compartments separated by a central section, plus an internal zip pocket. The front flap closes with a magnetic snap to keep contents tidy and secure.
Q: Can it be worn cross‑body comfortably? A: Yes. The pull‑through chain allows quick switching between a doubled shoulder carry and a longer cross‑body option. The chain has a substantial feel; for all‑day wear, resting it over a coat or thicker knit adds comfort.
Q: What leather is used and how should I care for it? A: LouLou bags are typically crafted in matelassé calfskin or lambskin, depending on the season. This item is in black quilted leather. Wipe with a soft, dry cloth after use, avoid oils and solvents, and store loosely stuffed in its dust bag with the chain tucked inside to prevent impressions. Avoid prolonged sunlight and moisture; with light colours be extra mindful of colour transfer from dark fabrics.
Q: Is the magnetic closure secure enough for travel and busy days? A: The magnet is strong for daily use. For added security in crowded places, keep passports, cards and small items in the internal zip pocket and avoid overfilling the front of the bag.
Q: Is the chain strap detachable or adjustable beyond the two drops? A: The chain is not detachable and does not adjust beyond wearing it doubled or extended. The two drop options cover most shoulder and cross‑body preferences.
Q: What accessories are included with this item? A: This bag comes with a dust bag and brand booklets. Everything included is listed under Accessories; if you have any questions, please ask our team.
Q: Where is it made and how do you authenticate it? A: Made in Italy. Authentic Saint Laurent bags feature a heat‑stamped serial number on a small leather tag inside. Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully authenticated by our in‑house experts before it is listed.
Q: What is the condition of this pre‑loved piece? A: Very Good overall. There is a small scuff mark on the leather and minor rubbing on the corners; the interior shows light signs of use. The hardware is generally shiny with light scratches, and there is some tarnish on the logo.
