Perfect for after-work drinks or a dinner date, the Medium West Hollywood lends sleek polish to any look. In black crocodile-embossed leather with silver-tone accents, it transitions from day to evening with ease, ideal for city outings when you need just the essentials without sacrificing style.
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 how does the Medium size wear on the body? A: This specific piece measures approximately 28 × 18 × 8 cm with an adjustable strap of up to about 52 cm drop. It can be worn crossbody at full length or on the shoulder when shortened/doubled. Capacity comfortably suits daily essentials without overstuffing.
Q: What pockets and compartments does the West Hollywood have? A: Typical Medium West Hollywood bags feature a magnetic flap closure, an exterior zipped pocket at the back, two main interior compartments divided by a central zipped pocket, plus a small flat pocket. Layout can vary slightly by year and leather variant, but the structure above is common for this model.
Q: Is the strap adjustable and suitable for crossbody wear? A: Yes. The chain-and-leather strap is a sliding design that allows you to lengthen it for crossbody or shorten/double it for shoulder carry. Drop ranges around the 40–52 cm span depending on setting and how you wear it.
Q: Does the West Hollywood always have a metal YSL logo on the flap? A: Variants exist. Some versions have a metal YSL monogram on the flap, while others opt for a more understated look with minimal branding. Please refer to the photos of this exact item to see the detailing.
Q: Is the West Hollywood still produced by Saint Laurent? A: The West Hollywood is generally regarded as a discontinued style and is most often found on the pre-owned market today, which adds to its appeal for collectors and those seeking rarer models.
Q: What typically fits inside this Medium size? A: A large smartphone, compact wallet, keys, sunglasses, and a small cosmetics pouch fit comfortably. An iPad mini or similar compact tablet usually fits; an 11-inch tablet or A4 documents are typically too tall under the flap. To maintain shape, avoid overfilling or carrying bulky water bottles upright.
Q: How should I care for the crocodile-embossed calfskin leather? A: Wipe with a soft dry or slightly damp cloth, avoid harsh cleaners and oils, and keep away from prolonged direct sunlight or heat. Store stuffed lightly in its dust bag, in an upright position, and avoid colour transfer from dark denim or untreated fabrics. For deep cleaning or colour touch-ups, use a trusted leather care professional.
Q: Will the magnetic flap affect my cards or phone? A: Modern chip-enabled payment cards and smartphones are generally unaffected by typical handbag magnets. As a precaution, avoid pressing the magnetic closure directly against old magnetic-stripe-only cards for extended periods and store cards in a wallet slot.
Q: What is included with this item and how is it authenticated? A: Everything included is listed under product information for this listing; for this piece, a dust bag is included. A Retro Tale authenticates every item through multi-point checks of materials, construction, stamps, and hardware. If you need additional photos or details, contact us and we will be happy to help.
