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 are the measurements and carry options of the Small Cabas Drawstring Cuir Triomphe? A: The small size is approximately 23 × 20 × 13 cm. It features dual top handles (about 12.5 cm drop) and a removable, adjustable shoulder strap with an approximate drop of 45–54 cm, so it can be carried by hand, on the shoulder, or crossbody. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for the exact dimensions of this item.
Q: Is the drawstring functional and does the bag fully close? A: The leather drawstring on this model is primarily decorative and does not cinch the bag shut like a classic bucket bag. The main compartment remains open with an internal pocket for smaller items. Many owners use pouches or an organiser for added privacy and structure.
Q: What typically fits inside the small size? A: Daily essentials such as a smartphone, compact wallet or cardholder, keys, sunglasses (in a slim case), and small cosmetics fit comfortably. Slim tech like a Kindle or compact tablet up to roughly 20 × 13 cm may fit depending on the case. It is not designed for laptops or A4 documents.
Q: Can I wear it crossbody if I’m petite or tall? A: Yes. The detachable strap has an adjustable drop of about 45–54 cm, which works for most heights. On very petite frames it may sit slightly lower on the hip; on taller frames it may sit higher—adjust the strap to your preference.
Q: What materials is this bag made from? A: The bag is crafted in calfskin leather with a suede calfskin lining and gold-tone hardware. Depending on the specific colourway, the exterior leather may be smooth or grained; both are premium calfskins.
Q: How should I care for the calfskin leather and suede lining? A: Keep the bag away from water, oils, and prolonged sunlight or heat. When storing, loosely stuff it to maintain shape and place it in a breathable dust bag in a cool, dry, ventilated space—never in plastic. Avoid overfilling to preserve the structure. Use a soft, dry cloth for light surface cleaning; for deeper care, consult a professional leather specialist.
Q: Does the leather scratch easily and how does it wear over time? A: Grained calfskin tends to disguise minor scuffs better, while smooth calfskin can show hairline scratches more readily—these often blend with gentle use. Overall, the Cabas line is known for durable daily wear when cared for properly.
Q: What accessories are included with this specific item? A: This piece comes with a dust bag and a detachable shoulder strap. Everything included is listed under Accessories on this page; if an item isn’t listed there, it is not included.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by our in-house experts through multi-point checks of materials, construction, stamps, and hardware. We stand behind the authenticity of all items and can provide further details or photos on request.
