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 Yves Top Handle Bag? A: With approximate dimensions of 27 x 21 x 10 cm, this bag is best suited to everyday essentials such as a phone, small to medium wallet, keys, sunglasses and a few beauty items. It is a compact structured bag rather than a large day bag, so it is not ideal for bulkier items such as a tablet or laptop.
Q: Can this bag be worn on the shoulder or crossbody? A: This piece is designed primarily as a top-handle style. The listing shows a single flat handle with an approximate drop of 13 cm and does not mention a shoulder strap, so it is best carried by hand or in the crook of the arm.
Q: Does it have any internal pockets or compartments? A: Yes. According to the product information, it has one internal zip pocket, which is useful for keeping smaller valuables separate from the main compartment. The bag closes with a front flap for a neat, structured look.
Q: What condition is this vintage bag in? A: It is listed in very good vintage condition. The exterior shows scuffing and marks on the bottom and corners, the interior has light traces of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches. This means it presents well overall while still showing normal signs of careful previous wear.
Q: Is the crocodile-embossed finish made from real crocodile? A: No. Crocodile-embossed leather usually refers to leather that has been pressed with a crocodile-style texture, rather than exotic crocodile skin. It gives the bag a more structured, polished look while keeping the feel of embossed leather.
Q: How should I care for vintage crocodile-embossed leather? A: Wipe it gently with a soft dry or slightly damp cloth and avoid harsh cleaners, oils and heavy rubbing over the embossed surface. To help preserve the shape, store it lightly stuffed in a breathable dust bag and keep it away from prolonged heat, direct sunlight and excess moisture.
Q: Does this bag come with any additional product information? A: No. This item is listed as coming with no additional product information, so if you are looking for extras such as a dust bag, box or card, they are not included unless otherwise stated on the product page.
Q: Is a serial number or date code shown for this bag? A: No serial number is listed in the product information for this item. On vintage Saint Laurent bags, identifying numbers can appear in different places depending on the model and era, so the exact location and format may vary.
Q: How is authenticity checked for a vintage Saint Laurent bag? A: A Retro Tale states that its items are expert-verified and sold with an authenticity guarantee. For vintage Saint Laurent pieces, authentication typically involves checking the construction, stitching, lining, hardware, stamps and any interior identifying marks that may be present.
