An elegant choice for cocktail parties, dinners or black‑tie events, this vintage Saint Laurent Yves clutch in black chevron‑quilted leather elevates any evening look. A magnetic flap keeps essentials secure, while the YSL monogram canvas lining adds a discreet signature.
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 in this clutch? A: With approximate dimensions of 24 × 18 × 2 cm, it comfortably holds a large smartphone (up to around 16.1 × 7.8 cm), a slim cardholder, keys, a lipstick and a passport. To preserve the silhouette, avoid bulky items or overfilling.
Q: Does it come with a strap, and can it be worn crossbody? A: This piece is designed as a handheld clutch with a magnetic flap closure and does not include a strap. Some owners use third‑party conversion inserts to add a chain; we do not supply these and, as with any modification, recommend care to avoid pressure marks on the flap or lining.
Q: Is the magnetic closure safe around bank cards and hotel keys? A: The closure is convenient for everyday use. Modern chip cards are generally more resistant, but magnetic‑stripe cards (such as some hotel keys) can be sensitive to magnets. As a precaution, keep stripe edges away from direct contact with the magnet and store cards a little distance from the flap.
Q: What is included in the product information for this item? A: A dust bag is included, as listed in the product information on this page. If an item isn’t listed there, it is not included—feel free to ask us to confirm what’s in the box.
Q: How do you authenticate this Saint Laurent clutch? A: Every piece at A Retro Tale is rigorously checked by our specialists using multi‑point criteria: leather and lining quality, stitching, stamps/embossing, heat stamps, hardware and, where present, serial/date codes. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can share additional photos or details on request.
Q: Do all Saint Laurent clutches have serial or date codes, and where might it be located? A: Many Saint Laurent bags have an embossed code on an interior leather tab or along an interior seam. Formats vary by era and model, and some vintage pieces may not have a visible code. The presence or absence of a code isn’t the sole indicator of authenticity—overall construction and brand markings matter most. We’re happy to check and photograph any markings on this piece for you.
Q: What is the lining and how should I care for it? A: The interior features YSL monogram canvas. Gently shake out the lining and use a soft, dry cloth to lift surface dust. Avoid soaking the lining; for stubborn marks, consult a professional handbag care service.
Q: How should I care for the black chevron‑quilted leather? A: Keep the leather away from water, oils and prolonged sunlight. Store it lightly stuffed to maintain shape, inside a breathable dust bag, and avoid overfilling during use to minimise creasing. If conditioning is desired, use a small amount of a neutral leather cream and test on a discreet area first.
Q: There’s a note about a faint vintage scent—will it fade? A: Light vintage scent is common and typically dissipates with time. Air the bag in a cool, dry, shaded place and place odour‑absorbing sachets (such as silica gel or activated charcoal) nearby. Avoid spraying perfumes or using harsh deodorisers directly on the leather.
Q: Where was this clutch made? A: The origin label states France, consistent with the information provided on this page.
