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 inside the Saint Laurent Kahala bag? A: With approximate measurements of 37 × 37 × 2 cm, it comfortably holds A4 documents, a 13-inch laptop in a slim sleeve, a long wallet, phone, keys and a small pouch. The soft canvas and drawstring allow some flex, but capacity depends on how you pack—bulky items may be limited by the slim depth.
Q: How is it carried and what is the handle drop like? A: It is designed to be carried by dual top handles. The drop is about 17 cm, so it works well in hand, on the crook of the arm, and for many users on the shoulder over light layers. There is no detachable long shoulder strap.
Q: What is the closure and interior layout? A: The Kahala features a drawstring top. Inside, there is a dark brown satin lining with one internal zipped pocket and an open main compartment for everyday essentials.
Q: What materials and signature details does this style have? A: This example is crafted in pink canvas with pink leather trim and silver-toned hardware. A hallmark of the Kahala line is the large velvet YSL Cassandre logo at the front, paired with the satin-lined interior and drawstring finish.
Q: Is the Kahala considered vintage, and from which era? A: Yes—Kahala totes are widely associated with early‑2000s YSL designs, often described as a Y2K-era style. Variations exist in colours and trims across seasons, but the core look remains consistent with the velvet logo and drawstring.
Q: Where was this piece made? A: The origin label on this item states France.
Q: Does the Kahala have a serial/date code? A: Many Saint Laurent bags carry an internal serial/date code. Vintage YSL often feature 12 digits separated by a dot, while later formats show three letters, six digits, a dot, and four digits (MMYY for month/year). Codes are typically found behind the interior logo patch or inside a pocket. This item’s serial number is not listed in our product information—contact us if you’d like us to check specific details.
Q: How should I care for the canvas, leather trim and velvet logo? A: Gently brush or wipe canvas with a soft, slightly damp cloth and avoid colour transfer from dark denim. Condition leather trim sparingly with a neutral leather care product and keep away from excessive heat or moisture. For the velvet logo, use a clean soft brush in one direction and avoid rubbing, oils or solvents. Store loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag, away from direct sunlight.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information. This piece is sold without extras such as a dust bag or card unless explicitly stated there.
Q: Is it suitable as an everyday bag? A: Yes. The Kahala is lightweight and practical for daily use. The drawstring offers quick access; for valuables, we recommend using a zip pouch inside for added security.
