Perfect for cocktail hours, dinners or gallery openings, the Saint Laurent Gaby adds understated glamour with black quilted lambskin, gold-tone hardware and a YSL-monogram magnetic flap. Use the chain shoulder strap to elevate tailored separates or an evening dress.
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 strap drop of this bag? A: Approximately 10 × 18 × 3.5 cm with a chain strap drop around 52 cm (about 3.9 × 7.1 × 1.4 inches; strap drop about 20.5 inches). Please see the Measurements on this page for full details.
Q: What typically fits inside? A: Essentials such as a standard-size smartphone, slim cardholder, keys and a lipstick. Capacity depends on the phone size and case thickness; packing flatter items helps the magnetic flap close neatly.
Q: Will it fit a large phone like an iPhone Pro Max or similar? A: It can be a tight fit for larger “Plus/Max/Ultra” phones, especially with a case. Many users report best results with standard-size phones or by using a very slim case. If in doubt, compare your phone to the bag’s interior clearance listed in the Measurements.
Q: Is the chain strap adjustable or removable? A: The chain strap is designed for shoulder or crossbody wear. It is typically removable/detachable but not length-adjustable on this style.
Q: How secure is the closure? A: The flap fastens with a magnetic snap to keep contents secure during everyday use. As with any magnetic closure, avoid placing magnetic stripes on cards directly against the clasp to prevent potential demagnetisation.
Q: What pockets and compartments does it have? A: Inside you’ll find one main compartment lined in leather. There is also a flat slip pocket on the exterior for quick-access items like travel cards or receipts.
Q: What is included in the product information for this item? A: This piece comes with a box and dust bag as listed under product information. If an item isn’t listed there, it is not included.
Q: What is the condition? A: Very Good overall with light traces of use on the exterior and interior. The hardware is shiny with light scratches, consistent with gentle wear. Please review the photos for a close look.
Q: Can I wear it crossbody? A: Yes. The chain drop of around 52 cm is suitable for crossbody wear on most body types while also working as a shoulder bag.
Q: Where was this item made and how do you verify authenticity? A: The label indicates France for this specific piece. Every item at A Retro Tale is thoroughly authenticated by our in-house experts using multi-point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and codes; we stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell.
