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 typically fits inside the Saint Laurent Sunset Medium? A: With an approx. 22 × 17 × 6 cm profile, it’s ideal for daily essentials: large smartphone (including most Pro/Max models), compact wallet or cardholder, keys, slim sunglasses in a soft case, wireless earbuds and a small cosmetics pouch. An A5 diary/notebook fits; a full‑size 500 ml bottle generally does not sit upright. Capacity can vary slightly by production year—refer to the Measurements on this page or ask us for a tailored fit check for this exact piece.
Q: Will it fit a tablet or A4 documents? A: A compact e‑reader or iPad mini–sized tablet typically fits horizontally without a bulky case. An 11‑inch iPad and A4 documents (29.7 × 21 cm) do not lie flat due to the 22 cm width and 17 cm height. Share your device’s dimensions and we’ll test the fit in this exact bag.
Q: Can I wear it crossbody and is the strap adjustable? A: Yes. The sliding chain strap can be worn doubled for the shoulder (approx. 28 cm drop) or single for shoulder/high crossbody (approx. 51–54 cm drop). This specific piece lists a strap measurement of 28/54. If you’d like to know how it sits on you, just ask and we’ll advise.
Q: How secure is the closure and what is the interior layout? A: The Sunset features a magnetic flap closure for everyday security. This piece has a suede lining with two main compartments, one internal pocket and an external slip pocket for quick‑access items. For commuting or travel, we suggest using a small zip pouch for valuables inside the compartments.
Q: Is the leather genuine crocodile? A: No—this is crocodile‑embossed calfskin. The pattern is stamped into premium calf leather to achieve the look and texture of exotic skin while complying with regulations and offering easier care than true crocodile.
Q: How should I care for the croc‑embossed leather and suede lining? A: Keep the bag away from heavy rain, oils and prolonged sunlight. Wipe the exterior with a soft, dry cloth; if conditioning is desired, use a high‑quality neutral leather conditioner very sparingly after testing on a discreet area. Be mindful of colour transfer between dyed fabrics and red leather. For the suede lining, dust gently with a clean, soft brush or lint roller and avoid liquids; store the bag lightly stuffed, upright, in a breathable dust bag with the chain padded to prevent impressions.
Q: Is the Sunset Medium still produced? A: Yes—the Sunset remains a current Saint Laurent style, with seasonal colours, hardware tones and leathers (including croc‑embossed) introduced or rotated over time. Specific colourways like this red croc‑embossed leather may be limited; the pre‑loved market is the best route for particular configurations.
Q: Where are the brand markings and codes typically found? A: Authentic pieces usually have a “SAINT LAURENT PARIS” interior heat‑stamp and “Made in Italy” marking. A small internal code/style ID is commonly present on or near an interior leather tab/pocket. Placement and format can vary by model and year—contact us if you’d like close‑up photos of the markings on this exact bag.
Q: Is the chain strap comfortable for long wear? A: The strap is metal chain with a leather shoulder section designed for comfort. The structured silhouette distributes weight well for day‑to‑night use; if you’re sensitive to weight, we can provide the exact scale weight of this piece on request.
Q: What accessories are included and how do you authenticate? A: For this listing we note a clochette under “Accessories.” If a dust bag, box or additional items are not mentioned there, they are not included—feel free to ask us to confirm. Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes rigorous multi‑point authentication by our in‑house experts, assessing materials, stitching, hardware, stamps/codes and overall construction. We stand behind the authenticity of every piece we sell.
