Perfect for polished days in the city and chic evenings out, the Saint Laurent Large Le 5 à 7 Supple in black calfskin with gold-tone accents slips comfortably over the shoulder. Its refined YSL hook closure and spacious, softly structured shape make it an elegant desk-to-dinner companion.
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 fits inside the Saint Laurent Large Le 5 à 7 Supple? A: The Large size typically carries daily essentials with ease: smartphone (including most Pro/Max models), long (continental) wallet, keys, slim sunglasses case, small cosmetics pouch, hand sanitiser, and an A5 notebook or e‑reader/mini tablet. A slim 500 ml bottle can often fit horizontally. Full A4 folders and laptops are generally too large. Capacity can vary slightly by edition—please refer to the Measurements on this page or ask us for a tailored fit check for this exact piece.
Q: Will it fit a tablet or laptop? A: Most compact tablets (e.g., iPad mini or ~11-inch class without a bulky case) usually fit; larger tablets and laptops generally do not. For certainty, compare your device’s dimensions with the Measurements listed or contact us and we’ll test the fit against this specific bag.
Q: Is the strap adjustable, and can I wear it crossbody? A: The Le 5 à 7 Supple features an adjustable shoulder strap designed for hand or shoulder carry; it is not intended for crossbody wear. We’ll list the strap/handle drop under Measurements—if anything is missing, please ask and we’ll measure it for you.
Q: How secure is the closure and what pockets does it have? A: Supple editions commonly feature a zip‑top main compartment for added security; some seasonal runs use a leather tab with a metal hook beneath the Cassandre (YSL) monogram. Interiors typically include a slip pocket and may vary by edition. Please review our photos and description for the exact closure and pocket layout of this item.
Q: What materials and hardware are typical for this model? A: The Le 5 à 7 Supple is usually crafted in calfskin (smooth or grained) or suede, with the Cassandre logo and other hardware in gold‑tone or silver‑tone finishes. Linings are often leather or a suede‑like microfibre. Saint Laurent bags are commonly made in Italy. This listing specifies the exact materials, hardware finish and origin for this piece.
Q: How should I care for the leather and prevent colour transfer? A: Keep the bag away from moisture, oils and prolonged sunlight. Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth after use. Use a neutral leather conditioner very sparingly and test first on a discreet area. Be mindful of colour transfer—light leathers can pick up dye from dark denim or saturated fabrics. Store the bag lightly stuffed, upright, in a breathable dust bag, and avoid overfilling to preserve its shape.
Q: Is the Le 5 à 7 Supple still produced, and how does it differ from the classic Le 5 à 7? A: The Le 5 à 7 family remains part of Saint Laurent’s contemporary offering, though sizes and details can vary by season. The Supple version has a softer, more relaxed silhouette and often a zip‑top; the classic Le 5 à 7 is more structured and frequently features a tab-and-hook style closure. The Large Supple provides increased capacity compared with smaller sizes.
Q: Where are the brand markings and codes located? A: Authentic Saint Laurent bags feature “SAINT LAURENT PARIS” heat‑stamped inside along with the country of origin. A serial/style code is typically found on a small leather tab or along an interior seam (often near or behind a pocket). Placement and format can vary—contact us if you’d like close‑up photos for this specific piece.
Q: What accessories are included with this item? A: Any included items (e.g., dust bag, box, care booklets) are listed under “Accessories.” If an accessory isn’t mentioned there, it isn’t included—feel free to ask us to confirm what accompanies this exact bag.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes rigorous, multi‑point authentication by our in‑house experts, assessing materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, serial/style codes and overall construction. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide additional photos or details on request.
