Q: What typically fits inside the Saint Laurent Yves Flap Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 26 x 20 x 7 cm, this bag is well suited to daily essentials such as a phone, small wallet, keys, sunglasses, a passport, and a few compact cosmetics. It works best for neatly packed items rather than bulkier pieces.
Q: Can this bag be worn crossbody? A: This item has a listed strap drop of 34 cm, so it is generally best suited to shoulder wear rather than a true crossbody fit for most people. Exact fit will vary depending on your height and preferred styling.
Q: Is the strap adjustable? A: Yes, this bag features a single flat adjustable shoulder strap, allowing you to fine-tune the drop slightly for a more comfortable shoulder fit.
Q: Is lizard-embossed leather durable? A: Embossed leather is typically chosen for its structured finish and its ability to disguise light wear better than very smooth leather. As this is a vintage bag, it is still best treated with care and kept away from rough surfaces, heavy rain, and prolonged friction.
Q: What kind of interior and closure does this bag have? A: It features a flap closure and a logo-printed fabric lining. The shape is classic and streamlined, making it an easy choice for day-to-evening use.
Q: What condition is this bag in? A: The bag is rated Very Good Condition. The exterior shows scuffing on the edges and a small mark, the interior has light traces of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches.
Q: Does this item come with any additional product information? A: No, this piece is listed with no additional product information included. If you are looking for items such as a box, dust bag, or cards, they are not included unless specifically stated on the product page.
Q: Was this bag made in France? A: Yes, the country of origin label states France.
Q: How should I care for a vintage Saint Laurent bag like this? A: Store it lightly stuffed in a breathable dust bag, avoid overfilling, and wipe it gently with a soft dry cloth after use. It is best to avoid generic leather products, especially on embossed finishes, and seek professional advice for deeper cleaning or repairs.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully checked by specialists who assess materials, construction, hardware, branding, and other age-appropriate details before it is offered for sale.
