Q: What typically fits inside this Saint Laurent Yves Mombasa Suede Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 40 x 18 x 2.5 cm, it is best for slim daily essentials such as a phone, card holder or compact wallet, keys, sunglasses and a few beauty items. Its long, narrow shape means it is not ideal for bulkier items or a tablet.
Q: Can it be worn on the shoulder? A: Yes. This bag is designed with a single shoulder strap with chain links and a strap drop of approximately 17 cm. It is intended for shoulder carry rather than crossbody wear, and it will sit fairly close under the arm.
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.

Its long, narrow shape means it is not ideal for bulkier items or a tablet.
Q: Can it be worn on the shoulder? A: Yes. This bag is designed with a single shoulder strap with chain links and a strap drop of approximately 17 cm. It is intended for shoulder carry rather than crossbody wear, and it will sit fairly close under the arm.
Q: Does the bag close securely and how is the inside organised? A: Yes. It has a zip closure and a brown-lined interior with one internal pocket, which is handy for smaller essentials you want to keep separate.
Q: What condition is this bag in? A: It is listed in very good vintage condition. The exterior shows visible scratches on the leather strap and minor rubbing on the suede, the interior has light traces of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches. Please note that the zip is described as slightly dull.
Q: How should I care for beige suede? A: Suede is best kept away from rain, heavy moisture and dark fabrics that may cause colour transfer. Use a soft suede brush to lift the nap gently, avoid harsh cleaners, and store the bag stuffed lightly in a breathable dust bag when not in use. Because this piece already shows minor rubbing, gentle handling is recommended.
Q: Is the Mombasa a collectible Saint Laurent style? A: Yes. The Mombasa is one of Saint Laurent's best-known early-2000s bag lines from the Tom Ford era, and the silhouette has recently been reissued by the house. That renewed attention has helped keep vintage Mombasa bags especially desirable among collectors and lovers of archival fashion.
Q: Where was this bag made? A: The country of origin label states Italy.
Q: What is included with this item, and how is authenticity handled? A: No additional inclusions are noted in the product information for this piece. As with all items sold by A Retro Tale, it has been reviewed for authenticity by the brand's in-house experts before listing.
