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 Crossbody Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 22 × 15 × 4 cm, it comfortably holds a large smartphone, a small or continental wallet, keys, and a few small items such as lipstick or AirPods. A slim long wallet (around 19 cm) will fit, but very bulky cases or pouches may limit space. Capacity depends on how you pack—please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.
Q: Is the strap adjustable and can it be worn crossbody or on the shoulder? A: Yes. The single flat strap is adjustable and designed for crossbody or shoulder wear. The strap length is approximately 50 cm (drop) on this piece; on most frames it will sit around the high-to-mid hip when worn crossbody. If you need a different drop, a professional leatherworker can sometimes add extra holes—avoid DIY punching on vintage leather.
Q: Will a large smartphone (e.g., iPhone Pro Max) fit? A: Yes, most large smartphones fit easily when placed horizontally due to the 22 cm width. If your phone has a very thick case, consider removing it to maximise space for other items.
Q: What are the materials and how should I care for them? A: The exterior is Saint Laurent monogram canvas with leather trim and gold‑tone hardware. Gently wipe the canvas with a soft, dry or barely damp cloth and immediately air‑dry. Keep leather parts away from excess moisture, oils, and harsh cleaners. Avoid rubbing against heavily dyed fabrics (like dark denim) to minimise the risk of colour transfer. Store the bag lightly stuffed in a breathable dust bag, away from direct heat and sunlight.
Q: Is the hardware real gold? A: The bag features gold‑tone metal hardware, not solid gold. To preserve the finish, avoid abrasive cleaners and prolonged friction against rough surfaces. Light surface scratches are normal for vintage pieces.
Q: Does this item come with a dust bag, cards, or extras? A: Everything included with the purchase is listed in the product information section on this page. If a dust bag, care booklet, or other item is not listed there, it is not included with this piece.
Q: How do you authenticate this vintage Saint Laurent bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is inspected by specialists using a multi‑point process that reviews materials, stitching, stamps, serial/date codes where present, and hardware. Vintage Saint Laurent pieces may show different serial/date code formats depending on era; not all codes are in the same location or easily visible. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and are happy to share additional photos or details on request.
Q: Where was this bag made? A: This piece is labelled Made in France.
Q: Is the strap removable? A: No. The strap on this model is fixed and not designed to be detached, but it is adjustable for length.
Q: How would you describe the condition of this bag? A: Very good vintage condition with light signs of wear. The exterior shows a light trace of use; the hardware remains shiny with light hairline scratches; and the lining has some light stains consistent with careful prior use. Please review the photos and condition notes for full details.
