In good condition, it features dual rolled top handles, a brown fabric lining and a top zip closure, making it ideal for workdays, city outings or polished weekend 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 fits inside this Saint Laurent Y Line Tote Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 39 x 26 x 17 cm, this tote is well suited to daily essentials such as a wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses, a cosmetics pouch, and a notebook or A4 papers. It also has enough depth for bulkier everyday items, but capacity will vary depending on how you pack it.
Q: Will it fit a laptop? A: It may fit a slim small laptop or tablet, but we recommend comparing your device directly to the bag’s measurements of 39 x 26 x 17 cm before purchasing. If you carry a padded sleeve or a larger laptop, the fit may be more limited.
Q: How is this bag carried? A: This bag features dual rolled top handles with an approximate handle drop of 18 cm. It is best suited to hand carry or carrying in the crook of the arm, though some buyers may also find it possible to carry on the shoulder depending on build and outerwear.
Q: What are the main materials and features of this bag? A: This piece is made from brown textured leather with gold-tone hardware and a brown fabric lining. It has a top zip closure, which makes it a practical choice for everyday use while keeping contents more secure than an open tote.
Q: What does Y Line mean? A: Y Line refers to Saint Laurent’s distinctive Y-inspired design language. On this model, the line is known for its understated, elegant look that gives the bag a recognisable house signature without relying on prominent logo hardware.
Q: What condition is this bag in? A: This bag is listed in good condition. There is visible wear on the handles and corners, a small stain on the lining, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches. As a vintage item, these signs of use are consistent with age and previous wear.
Q: Does this item come with any extra pieces? A: No additional items are included with this bag. If anything is included with a product, it will be stated in the product information for that listing.
Q: Where was this bag made, and is it vintage? A: The made-in label states Italy, and this piece is sold as a vintage Saint Laurent tote. That makes it a strong option for buyers looking for an older Saint Laurent design with everyday practicality.
Q: How should I care for this bag? A: For best care, wipe the leather gently with a soft dry or slightly damp cloth, avoid overfilling the bag, and store it stuffed with tissue in a breathable dust bag when not in use. Keep it away from prolonged sunlight, excess moisture, and rough surfaces, especially as this example already shows wear on the handles and corners.
