Perfect for cocktail hours and party nights, this vintage Saint Laurent hobo in black quilted patent leather adds high-shine polish to dressed-up looks. Gold-toned accents and a single shoulder strap with chain-link details lend glamorous edge, while the satin-lined interior neatly carries evening essentials for dinners, openings and special events.
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 Patent Leather Hobo Bag? A: With approximate dimensions of 33 × 25 × 1 cm, it comfortably holds daily essentials such as a smartphone, small wallet or cardholder, keys, slim sunglasses case, and a few cosmetics. Due to its slim profile, it is not designed for bulky items and is not suitable for A4 documents or a laptop.
Q: How does it carry on the shoulder and is the strap adjustable? A: It features a single flat shoulder strap with chain‑link details and an approximate 28 cm drop, designed for comfortable shoulder carry. The strap is not adjustable and the bag is not intended to be worn crossbody.
Q: How secure is the closure and what is the interior layout? A: The bag closes with a magnetic snap. Inside, the black satin lining includes one zipped pocket and one slip pocket to organise small essentials.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information on this page. For this piece, no additional items are listed beyond what is shown and detailed.
Q: How should I care for patent leather to keep the shine? A: Wipe after use with a soft, slightly damp microfibre cloth, then dry immediately. Avoid harsh solvents (acetone, alcohol), oils, or abrasive cleaners. Store in a cool, dry place in a breathable dust bag, loosely stuffed to maintain shape, and keep it from direct heat/sunlight and from touching other leathers to minimise colour transfer. A specialist patent leather cleaner can be used sparingly if needed—always patch test first.
Q: Can patent leather pick up colour transfer from clothing (e.g., denim)? A: Yes. Patent leather’s glossy coating can pick up dye from dark fabrics through friction, heat, or moisture. Prevention is best: avoid prolonged contact with fresh/dark denim, rotate carry sides, and clean promptly if transfer occurs. Be aware that dye transfer on patent leather can be difficult to remove completely; consult a professional if needed.
Q: Why do some patent leather bags become sticky over time and what can I do? A: Stickiness can occur when plasticisers in the patent coating migrate due to heat, humidity, or incompatible cleaning products. Prevent by storing in a cool, ventilated space and avoiding plastic covers. If tackiness appears, start with a gentle clean using mild soap and water on a soft cloth, dry thoroughly, and consider a dedicated patent leather cleaner. Avoid strong solvents and always test on an inconspicuous area.
Q: Is patent leather waterproof? A: Patent leather is highly water‑resistant but not fully waterproof. Light rain is usually fine if you wipe the surface dry promptly. Avoid heavy rain or soaking, as water can enter through seams and may dull the finish over time.
Q: How are Saint Laurent bags authenticated and where would I find the code on vintage pieces? A: Saint Laurent pieces typically have a serial/date code inside—often behind or near the interior logo tag or inside a pocket. Vintage formats commonly show a 12‑digit number separated by a dot, while newer formats use letters and numbers. Very early vintage items may have different or minimal markings. Every item at A Retro Tale is authenticated via multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, and stamps; if you would like us to confirm specific code details for this bag, please contact us.
