Delivery & Returns
Q: What size is this Saint Laurent Downtown Cabas Bag? A: This bag measures approximately 30 cm wide, 22 cm high and 13 cm deep. The handle drop is 12 cm and the detachable shoulder strap has an approximate drop of 50 cm.
Q: Can this bag be carried on the shoulder as well as by hand? A: Yes. This piece has dual top handles for hand carry and also includes a detachable shoulder strap for a more versatile everyday carry option.
Q: What fits inside this bag? A: The Downtown Cabas is well suited to daily essentials such as a phone, wallet, keys, sunglasses, cosmetics and a small notebook. Its structured silhouette and 13 cm depth make it practical for day use, but it is more compact than a large work tote.
Q: Does this bag fit a laptop? A: It is not designed as a dedicated laptop bag. With a width of 30 cm and height of 22 cm, it is generally better suited to essentials and possibly a small tablet rather than most standard laptops. Please compare the measurements with your device before purchasing.
Q: What materials is this bag made from? A: According to the product information, this bag features black leather with tiger print calf hair, gold-tone hardware and a black suede lining. It also has an internal pocket.
Q: How does the bag close? A: This bag has a zip top closure with a magnetic YSL flap, giving you both a secure top opening and the signature front detail associated with the style.
Q: What is the condition of this bag? A: The overall condition is rated Very Good Condition. The exterior shows areas of hair loss to the calf hair and cracking on the edge coating. Inside, there are light traces of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches.
Q: What is included with this bag? A: The listed product information includes a detachable shoulder strap. If any other extras are not mentioned in the product information, they should not be assumed to be included.
Q: How should I care for calf hair and suede on a vintage bag? A: Calf hair and suede should be handled gently and kept away from rain, friction and prolonged direct sunlight. Store the bag upright, lightly stuffed to help maintain its shape, and avoid overfilling. A soft, dry cloth can be used for gentle surface care, but more delicate cleaning is best left to a specialist familiar with luxury materials.
Q: Where was this bag made? A: The country of origin listed for this piece is Italy.
