Delivery & Returns
Q: What typically fits inside the Saint Laurent Yves Top Handle Bag? A: With approximate dimensions of 26 x 20 x 9.5 cm, it comfortably fits daily essentials such as a phone, compact wallet, keys, sunglasses and a few small cosmetics. It is best suited to essentials rather than larger items like a tablet or laptop.
Q: Can this bag be carried on the shoulder or crossbody? A: This piece is designed primarily as a top handle bag. No shoulder strap is included in the product information, so it is intended to be carried by hand or in the crook of the arm.
Q: Is the crocodile-embossed finish made from real crocodile skin? A: No. Crocodile-embossed leather means the leather has been finished with a crocodile-style texture. It gives the look of exotic leather while remaining a leather bag.
Q: How is the inside of the bag organised? A: The bag has a flap closure, logo fabric lining and one internal pocket, making it practical for keeping smaller essentials neatly organised.
Q: What condition is this vintage bag in? A: It is listed in very good vintage condition. There is scuffing on the corners, light traces of use inside, a light vintage smell and light scratches on the hardware, while the hardware remains shiny overall.
Q: Is a light vintage smell normal in an older leather bag? A: Yes, a light vintage smell can be normal in pre-owned leather bags that have been stored over time. For this item, it is already noted in the condition description so you know what to expect.
Q: Where was this bag made? A: The origin label states Italy.
Q: What is included with the bag? A: No extra items are included with this piece. Everything included with the bag is reflected in the product information on this page.
Q: How should I care for crocodile-embossed leather? A: Gently wipe it with a soft, dry or lightly damp cloth and avoid harsh cleaners, oils and excess moisture. Store it away from direct sunlight, keep it lightly stuffed to help maintain the shape, and avoid overfilling to reduce stress on the corners and flap.
Q: How do you authenticate Saint Laurent bags? A: At A Retro Tale, every item is reviewed using key details such as materials, construction, stitching, hardware and brand markings. We only offer pieces that have been carefully assessed for authenticity and accurately described.
