Very Good Condition
This Saint Laurent Medium Croc Cabas Rive Gauche bag in black croc-embossed leather with silver-tone hardware is in very good condition. It features dual handles, a single flat shoulder strap, tonal suede lining with internal pockets, and a zip closure. Ideal for workdays, city outings, or polished day-to-evening wear.
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 Medium Croc Cabas Rive Gauche Bag? A: With approximate dimensions of 36 x 24 x 15 cm, this medium bag is well suited to daily essentials such as a long wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses, a cosmetics pouch and a diary or tablet. It can also hold slim A4 papers and some compact 13-inch laptops depending on their exact shape and whether they are in a sleeve. Please compare your item to the Measurements on this page for the most accurate fit.
Q: Can this bag be carried on the shoulder? A: Yes. This piece features dual top handles as well as a detachable shoulder strap. The handle drop is approximately 11 cm and the strap drop is approximately 53 cm, making it suitable for hand carry and shoulder wear. Crossbody fit may be possible on some frames, but this will depend on your height and preferred drop.
Q: What does croc-embossed leather mean? A: Croc-embossed leather is leather that has been pressed with a crocodile-style pattern for a textured, polished finish. It offers the look of exotic skin while remaining a leather construction rather than a true crocodile skin bag.
Q: Is the Medium Cabas Rive Gauche a structured bag? A: Yes, this model is known for its smart, structured silhouette. Many buyers choose it for its polished look and practical shape. It is often considered a little lighter-feeling and less rigid than some other Saint Laurent top-handle styles, while still looking refined and organised.
Q: What is the condition of this specific bag? A: This pre-owned bag is rated Very Good. The exterior shows light traces of use, the interior is also in very good condition with light signs of wear, and the silver-tone hardware remains shiny with light surface scratches.
Q: What is included with this bag? A: This item includes a detachable shoulder strap. Everything included with the piece is listed in the Product information section. If something is not listed there, it is not included with the bag.
Q: How should I care for croc-embossed leather and the suede lining? A: Wipe the exterior gently with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth and avoid harsh cleaners, oils, direct heat, prolonged humidity and abrasive surfaces. To help maintain the shape, store the bag upright and lightly stuffed in a dust bag when not in use. The suede lining should be kept dry and handled gently, as suede can mark more easily than smooth leather.
Q: Is this bag suitable for everyday use? A: Yes. The medium size, zip closure, internal pockets and detachable strap make it a versatile choice for everyday city wear, workdays and smart day-to-evening use. It offers a structured look without feeling overly formal.
Q: How do you authenticate Saint Laurent bags? A: At A Retro Tale, each item is reviewed by experts using a multi-point authentication process. This includes checks of the materials, construction, logo details, hardware, stamps and interior coding where applicable, so you can shop pre-owned with confidence.
