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 exact measurements and carrying options? A: Approximately W 25.5 × H 18.5 × D 12 cm with a handle drop of about 12 cm and a detachable shoulder strap with approximately 46 cm drop. It can be carried by hand via the top handles, on the shoulder with the strap, or as a high crossbody depending on your frame.
Q: What typically fits inside the Small Cabas Thais? A: Daily essentials such as a smartphone, small wallet, keys, sunglasses, and a compact cosmetics pouch. It can also accommodate a small tablet or e‑reader up to around 8 inches when placed horizontally. It is not designed for laptops or A4 documents.
Q: Does it have a secure closure? A: This style has an open top. For added security, many owners use a zipped pouch or organiser inside and avoid overfilling to maintain the bag’s shape.
Q: Is the shoulder strap adjustable? A: This piece includes a detachable leather strap measuring roughly 46 cm in drop. Some Cabas Thais releases feature limited adjustability, but this example measures about 46 cm as listed. Please review the photos for the exact hole settings on this item.
Q: Can it be worn crossbody? A: With an approximate 46 cm drop, it wears as a short crossbody on some body types and as a classic shoulder bag on most. If you prefer a longer crossbody drop (around 50–55 cm), this may sit higher on the torso.
Q: What is Triomphe canvas and how should I care for it? A: Triomphe canvas is a durable coated textile trimmed with calfskin. Wipe with a soft, dry cloth after use, avoid oils and solvents, and keep away from prolonged heat, humidity, or direct sunlight. Store it loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag; do not store in plastic.
Q: How many compartments does this bag have? A: This specific piece has one main compartment with tonal lining and no interior pockets. Some seasonal versions of the Cabas Thais may include a flat pocket, but this one does not.
Q: Is it heavy to carry? A: The Small Cabas Thais is relatively lightweight compared with full‑leather totes thanks to its coated canvas body and fabric lining, making it comfortable for everyday use.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information on this page. For this piece, a detachable shoulder strap is included. If an item (such as a dust bag or box) is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this bag? A: Every item is carefully vetted by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and construction. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide further details upon request.
