Delivery & Returns
Q: What typically fits inside this Saint Laurent Rive Gauche Patent Tote Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 42 x 35 x 24 cm, this large tote is well suited to daily essentials such as a wallet, phone, cosmetic pouch, water bottle, notebook, and a light knit or scarf. It can also accommodate larger items such as documents or a slim laptop, depending on the exact size and case. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for the best guide.
Q: Can this bag be carried on the shoulder? A: Yes. This bag features dual shoulder straps with an approximate handle drop of 17 cm, which generally allows for comfortable shoulder carry for many users. Fit can vary slightly depending on clothing layers and personal preference.
Q: Does this tote close securely? A: Yes. This specific bag has a top zip closure, which is especially practical for everyday use and adds more security than an open-top tote.
Q: Does it have pockets for organisation? A: Yes. According to the product information, the bag has outer zipped pockets and a dark brown fabric-lined interior with an internal pocket, making it easier to organise smaller essentials separately from the main compartment.
Q: Is patent leather easy to care for? A: Patent leather is appreciated for its glossy finish, but it should be handled with care. It is best cleaned gently with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth, and should be kept away from excess heat, rough surfaces, oils, perfume, and prolonged contact with dark or printed materials that may transfer colour. Store it upright and lightly stuffed to help maintain its shape.
Q: What is the condition of this vintage bag? A: This piece is listed in Very Good Condition. The exterior shows minor wear on the handle edges and a small mark near the zip, the interior shows light traces of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches. As a vintage item, light signs of age and wear are normal and part of its character.
Q: What is included with the bag? A: This item comes with no accessories. Everything included is shown in the product information, so if you do not see an extra item listed there, it is not included with this piece.
Q: Where was this bag made? A: The country of origin label states France.
Q: Is this bag suitable for work or everyday use? A: Yes. Its large size, shoulder straps, zipped top, and multiple pockets make it a practical option for everyday wear, commuting, or light office use. As with most vintage patent leather bags, it is best suited to careful daily use rather than heavy-duty carrying.
Q: How do you authenticate a pre-owned Saint Laurent bag like this? A: Authentic Saint Laurent bags are typically assessed through a combination of details such as overall craftsmanship, materials, stitching, hardware, lining, stamping, and model-specific construction. At A Retro Tale, all items are carefully reviewed by in-house experts, and the product data on this page reflects the authenticated item being sold.
