Delivery & Returns
Q: What typically fits inside the Saint Laurent Loulou Toy? A: With approximate measurements of 19 × 15 × 6 cm, it comfortably carries a large smartphone, compact wallet or cardholder (you can also use the built‑in card slots), keys, lipstick, AirPods and a few small essentials. Slim sunglasses in a soft sleeve may fit. Continental (long) wallets and small water bottles generally do not. Please refer to the Measurements on this page or ask us for a tailored fit check for this exact piece.
Q: Will my iPhone Pro/Max fit? A: Most Pro/Max phones fit horizontally in the main compartment. Very bulky cases can make the fit snug. Compare your device’s dimensions with the Measurements shown or ask us to perform a quick fit check for this item.
Q: Is the strap adjustable or removable? Can I wear it crossbody? A: Many Loulou Toy editions feature a detachable leather strap; adjustability varies by season. This piece lists an approximately 56 cm strap drop, suitable for shoulder or high crossbody wear for most users. If you’d like us to confirm adjustability or how it sits on you, just ask and we’ll advise based on this exact bag.
Q: How secure is the closure and what is the interior layout? A: The Loulou Toy uses a magnetic flap closure that offers good day‑to‑day security. Inside, this piece has a main compartment with a zipped pocket and multiple integrated card slots. For commuting or travel, we recommend placing smaller valuables in the zipped section and keeping the bag upright.
Q: What materials and hardware does this piece have, and where is it made? A: This listing specifies black quilted velvet with leather trim, gold‑tone hardware and a black fabric lining. It is stamped Made in Italy. Our photos show the exact finish and configuration of this item.
Q: How should I care for the velvet and leather trim? A: Keep the bag away from moisture and rough surfaces; velvet can show corner wear and pressure marks if rubbed. Use a soft lint brush/roller to lift dust and fibres, and avoid liquid cleaners. For the leather trim, wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth and use a high‑quality neutral conditioner very sparingly after testing on a discreet area. Store the bag lightly stuffed, upright, in a breathable dust bag, and place a soft cloth between the strap and the velvet to minimise imprints.
Q: Does velvet attract lint or show colour transfer? A: Velvet can attract lint and fine dust—regular light brushing helps. Colour transfer from dark denim or richly dyed garments is possible on lighter velvets; this piece is black, which is more forgiving, but we still recommend avoiding prolonged friction against untreated fabrics. If transfer occurs, consult a specialist rather than attempting wet cleaning.
Q: Is the Loulou Toy still produced, and what about velvet versions? A: The Loulou line is part of Saint Laurent’s ongoing collection. Fabrications like velvet tend to be seasonal or limited and may not be available every year. The pre‑loved market is the best way to find specific materials and colours such as black quilted velvet.
Q: Where are the brand markings and codes located, and how is dating handled? A: Authentic Saint Laurent bags feature a “SAINT LAURENT PARIS” heat stamp and a country‑of‑origin mark (commonly Italy). A serial code is typically found on a small leather tag inside the main compartment or an interior pocket; placement and format vary by era. We’re happy to share close‑up photos and help interpret the code for this exact piece.
Q: What accessories are included and how do you authenticate? A: Included items are listed under “Accessories.” For this piece, we note a shoulder strap. If an accessory isn’t mentioned there, it isn’t included—feel free to contact us to confirm. Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes rigorous, multi‑point authentication by our in‑house experts, assessing materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, serial code and overall construction; we stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell.
Q: Can Saint Laurent repair or service the Loulou Toy? A: Saint Laurent boutiques may offer repair services subject to assessment and parts availability (e.g., hardware, some interior/exterior components). Costs and lead times vary by region and the bag’s age. Independent luxury leather specialists can also perform cleaning and restoration on velvet and leather. We’re happy to advise on typical options and help you prepare for a boutique assessment.
