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 YSL Tote Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 33 × 27 × 6 cm, it comfortably holds A4 documents placed horizontally, a 13-inch laptop or tablet in a slim sleeve, a long wallet, phone, keys and a small cosmetics pouch. Bulky binders or very thick laptop cases may be tight.
Q: Can it be worn on the shoulder? A: Yes. The handle drop is approximately 22 cm, which suits most users for shoulder carry, including over light layers. If you wear heavier outerwear, compare with a bag you own that has a similar drop to ensure comfort.
Q: Does this tote have a closure? A: This vintage piece is listed with an open top. For added security and organisation, consider using zipped pouches or a lightweight felt organiser. These help keep essentials in place and maintain the bag’s shape.
Q: Will a 13-inch laptop fit? A: Generally yes. Based on the 33 cm width and 27 cm height, most 13-inch laptops fit flat inside. Use a slim protective sleeve to safeguard the leather and lining and to avoid pressure on the corners and seams.
Q: How durable is the leather and how should I care for it? A: The grained, pebbled leather is known for being resilient and for disguising light marks. Wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. For deeper cleaning, use a dedicated leather cleaner suitable for pebbled leather and condition occasionally. Avoid heavy rain, direct heat and prolonged sunlight to preserve the colour and finish.
Q: How do I care for the gold‑tone hardware? A: Gently wipe hardware with a dry, soft cloth after use to remove oils. Store so metal parts don’t rub against other items. Micro‑scratches from normal use are common; avoid abrasive cleaners or polishes.
Q: What signs of wear should I expect on this piece? A: It is in very good vintage condition with visible scuffing on some corners and a few marks on the leather. Hardware remains shiny with light scratches, and the interior shows only a light trace of use. Please review the photos for a close look at the details.
Q: Does it come with extras like a dust bag or pouch? A: Everything included is listed under the product information on this page. This item is currently sold without extras unless stated there.
Q: Is there a serial or date code on vintage YSL bags, and how do you authenticate this one? A: Many Saint Laurent and earlier YSL bags have internal codes stamped on a leather tab or lining; formats have evolved over time, and codes on older pieces can vary or fade with wear. Regardless of the presence of a code, A Retro Tale authenticates every item using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware and brand stamps, and we stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell.
Q: How should I store the bag between wears? A: Stuff lightly with acid‑free tissue, keep it upright in a breathable dust bag, and store in a cool, dry place away from sunlight. Avoid hanging by the handles for extended periods to prevent stretching.
