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 Small Manhattan Croc-Embossed Shoulder Bag? A: With measurements of approximately 24 x 17 x 6 cm, this bag is best suited to essentials such as a phone, card holder, keys, lipstick, sunglasses in a soft case and a few slim daily items. It has a structured shape, so it is more elegant than roomy and is not ideal for bulky pouches or larger everyday carry.
Q: Can this bag be worn crossbody? A: This Small Manhattan is designed as a shoulder bag rather than a crossbody style. The strap drop on this item is approximately 22 cm, so it will usually sit neatly on the shoulder or close under the arm on most people.
Q: What material is this bag made from? A: This piece is crafted from black croc-embossed leather with gold-tone hardware. The embossed finish gives it a polished, structured look while keeping the minimalist Manhattan silhouette.
Q: How is the interior organised? A: The bag has a black-lined interior with one internal pocket and a flap closure. It offers simple organisation for essentials without adding extra bulk.
Q: Is the Small Manhattan a good everyday bag? A: Yes, if you prefer to carry only the essentials. The Small Manhattan is often chosen for its clean, refined shape and easy day-to-evening feel, but it is not intended to be a large everyday carryall.
Q: Is this bag more suited to casual wear or dressier outfits? A: It works well for both. The structured silhouette, black croc-embossed leather and gold-tone hardware give it a smart, polished look that pairs easily with tailoring, denim, eveningwear and minimalist day looks.
Q: What is the condition of this pre-owned bag? A: This item is listed in excellent condition. The exterior and interior both show light traces of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light surface scratches.
Q: What product information is included with this item? A: No additional product information is listed for this specific bag. If something such as a box, dust bag or authenticity card is not shown under Product Information, it should not be assumed to be included.
Q: How should I care for croc-embossed leather? A: Wipe it gently with a soft, dry cloth and avoid overfilling the bag, as structured embossed leather can lose its shape if stored badly. Keep it away from prolonged moisture, direct heat and strong sunlight, and store it upright with light stuffing when not in use.
Q: Where was this bag made? A: The country of origin label for this piece states Italy.
