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 Patent Easy Y Boston Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 40 × 27 × 15 cm, this is a roomy everyday Boston bag. It comfortably fits essentials such as a large phone, long wallet, keys, sunglasses, a make-up pouch and a tablet, and A4 documents should generally fit flat. Capacity can vary slightly depending on how the bag is packed and how structured your belongings are.
Q: Can this bag be worn on the shoulder? A: This piece is best suited to hand carry or the crook of the arm. The handle drop is approximately 15 cm, so some wearers may be able to tuck it onto the shoulder with light layers, but it is not designed as a true hands-free shoulder bag.
Q: Does this bag come with a shoulder strap or any extra items? A: No. The product information for this item states that no additional items are included, and no shoulder strap is listed for this piece.
Q: How is the interior organised? A: The bag has a zip-top closure, black fabric lining and one internal pocket. It offers a straightforward interior layout that works well for day-to-day essentials.
Q: What materials and finish does this bag have? A: This item combines black textured fabric with patent leather details and gold-tone hardware. The glossy patent sections give it a polished, dressier look while the textured fabric body adds contrast.
Q: Where was this bag made? A: This item is listed as made in France.
Q: How should I care for the patent leather? A: Patent leather is relatively easy to maintain, but it can show scratches, fingerprints and colour transfer over time. Wipe it gently with a soft dry cloth after use, and if needed use a little mild soap with water on the patent sections before drying it promptly. Avoid harsh chemicals, excess heat, prolonged sunlight and contact with strongly dyed materials, and store the bag in a breathable cover with light stuffing to help preserve its shape.
Q: What condition is this vintage bag in? A: It is listed in very good condition overall. The exterior corners are rubbed and slightly frayed, the interior shows a light trace of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches. As with most vintage pieces, these signs of wear are part of the bag's history and should be reviewed alongside the photos and measurements.
Q: Is a serial number listed, and how is authenticity assessed? A: No serial number is listed in the current product information for this item. With vintage Saint Laurent bags, authenticity is usually assessed through a combination of construction, materials, hardware, lining, logo details and interior markings rather than a single code alone. A Retro Tale states that its items are verified for authenticity.
