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 Shopping East/West Tote Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 48 x 28 x 14 cm, this tote is roomy enough for daily essentials such as a wallet, phone, sunglasses, a cosmetic pouch, a notebook and more. It also works well as a smart everyday or travel carryall. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for the most accurate guide to capacity.
Q: Will this bag fit a laptop or A4 documents? A: It should comfortably take A4 documents and many slim 13-inch laptops, depending on the shape of your device and case. As interior space can vary slightly by construction and how the bag is packed, we recommend comparing your laptop measurements with those listed on this page before purchasing.
Q: Can this tote be worn comfortably on the shoulder? A: Yes. The dual flat handles have an approximate drop of 24 cm, which is generally suitable for shoulder carry and makes the bag practical for day-to-day use.
Q: Does the bag close fully? A: This tote features a magnetic closure for quick and easy access. It does not have a full zip-top closure, so smaller valuables are best kept inside the included pouch.
Q: What is the interior like? A: The bag has a spacious main compartment with tonal lining and comes with a pouch according to the product information. This makes it easy to separate smaller essentials such as cards, keys or receipts from the main interior.
Q: Is the pouch included with this item? A: Yes. A pouch is included and listed in the product information for this specific piece.
Q: Is this tote structured or more relaxed in shape? A: The East/West Shopping Tote is known for a soft, lightweight and fairly relaxed silhouette rather than a rigid, boxy structure. If you prefer a more organised shape, a slim bag organiser can help give the interior extra support.
Q: What material and finish does this bag have? A: This item is crafted in black leather with gold-tone hardware and is labelled as made in Italy. The combination gives it a classic and versatile look that works well for both everyday and smarter styling.
Q: What condition is this particular bag in? A: This piece is listed in very good condition, with light traces of use to the exterior and interior. The hardware is described as shiny with light scratches, which is consistent with gentle vintage wear.
Q: How should I care for a vintage leather tote like this? A: Store it lightly stuffed in a breathable dust bag to help maintain its shape, and keep it away from prolonged sunlight, heat, heavy rain and rough surfaces. Clean gently with a soft dry or slightly damp cloth, and avoid harsh cleaning products, oils or solvents.
