Perfect for an evening out or a chic city dinner, the Saint Laurent Mini Sunset in black grained leather brings polished ease. The silver-tone chain strap and magnetic flap with YSL logo elevate tailored looks, while two compartments keep essentials organised from aperitif to after-hours.
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 Mini Sunset Bag? A: With dimensions of approximately 19 × 14 × 5 cm, this Mini Sunset is a compact piece designed for essentials. It typically holds a smartphone (including most standard and Pro/Max models), a cardholder, keys, and a lipstick. The accordion-style sides allow for some expansion, but it is best suited for carrying light daily necessities rather than bulky items.
Q: Will my phone fit inside? A: Yes, the 19 cm width generally accommodates most modern smartphones, including larger models like the iPhone Pro Max or Samsung Galaxy S Ultra, when placed horizontally. We recommend checking your device’s specific dimensions against the bag’s internal width (slightly less than 19 cm) to ensure a comfortable fit.
Q: Can I wear this bag crossbody? A: Absolutely. The sliding chain strap has a drop of approximately 55 cm when fully extended, which is ideal for crossbody wear on most frames. You can also double the strap to shorten the drop to around 30 cm for a chic shoulder carry. The leather shoulder pad adds comfort in both positions.
Q: What type of leather is this bag made from? A: This piece is crafted from Saint Laurent’s signature Grain de Poudre textured leather. This embossed calfskin is renowned for its durability and resistance to scratches and scuffs, making it an excellent choice for frequent use. It has a subtle sheen and a structured feel that holds its shape well over time.
Q: How does the Mini differ from the Medium Sunset? A: The Mini (approx. 19 cm wide) is significantly smaller than the Medium Sunset (approx. 22 cm wide). While the Medium can carry a full-sized wallet and additional items like a compact umbrella or sunglasses case, the Mini operates more like a Wallet on Chain (WOC), designed to replace a heavy wallet and carry only your phone and immediate essentials.
Q: Is the closure secure? A: Yes, the bag features a front flap with a magnetic snap closure, embellished with the iconic metal YSL (Cassandre) logo. The magnet is strong and designed to keep the flap securely closed while allowing for easy access when needed.
Q: How should I care for the Grain de Poudre leather? A: This leather is low-maintenance and robust. To keep it looking its best, wipe it occasionally with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. Avoid prolonged exposure to intense sunlight, water, and oily substances (like makeup or lotions). If it gets slightly wet, blot it dry immediately. Store the bag upright in a dust bag with the chain tucked inside to prevent pressure marks on the leather.
Q: What condition is this specific item in? A: This Mini Sunset is in Very Good condition with light traces of use. The exterior and interior remain well-preserved, and the silver-tone hardware is shiny with only light scratches. Please refer to the detailed condition rating and photos on this page for a closer look at its specific state.
Q: How do you authenticate this item? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by our in-house experts. We perform multi-point checks on materials, stitching, hardware (including the weight and finish of the chain and YSL logo), internal stamps, and overall construction to ensure authenticity. We stand behind the genuineness of all items we sell.
Q: What accessories are included? A: This item is sold as the bag only and does not include additional accessories such as a dust bag or box. Please check the “Accessories” field on this page; if an item is not explicitly listed there, it is not included.
