Very Good Condition
This vintage Saint Laurent Downtown Baby Cabas in black smooth leather with crocodile-embossed side panels and black-toned hardware is in very good condition. Featuring dual rolled handles, a shoulder strap and black suede lining, it is an elegant choice for daily wear, office styling or city evenings, adding refined structure to both tailored and casual looks.
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 Downtown Baby Cabas Bag? A: With measurements of approximately 34 x 18 x 13 cm, it is best suited to daily essentials such as a phone, wallet, keys, sunglasses, a small cosmetics pouch, and other compact items. It offers practical everyday capacity for a structured bag of this size, but it is not intended for larger items such as most laptops.
Q: Can this bag be carried by hand and on the shoulder? A: Yes. It features dual rolled leather handles as well as a detachable shoulder strap. The handle drop is approximately 10 cm and the strap drop is approximately 45 cm, so it is well suited to hand carry or shoulder wear.
Q: Does this bag close securely? A: Yes. This style has a top zip closure along with a magnetic front strap, which helps keep the contents secure while preserving the structured Cabas silhouette.
Q: What are the main materials and finishes of this bag? A: This piece is crafted in black smooth leather with crocodile-embossed side panels, finished with black-toned hardware. The interior is lined in black suede and includes one internal pocket.
Q: Is the Downtown Baby Cabas a good everyday bag? A: For many people, yes. The Baby size is compact yet practical, and the structured top-handle design makes it easy to dress up or down. It works especially well if you prefer to carry organised daily essentials rather than bulky items.
Q: What condition is this vintage item in? A: It is listed in Very Good condition. There is light wear on the corners, a light trace of use inside, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches consistent with careful previous use.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This bag comes with a dust bag and a detachable shoulder strap. Everything included with this piece is reflected in the product information for this specific item.
Q: How should I care for smooth leather and crocodile-embossed leather? A: Store the bag in its dust bag, lightly stuffed to help maintain its shape, and keep it away from prolonged direct sunlight, heat, and heavy moisture. Use a soft dry cloth for routine cleaning, and only use a leather conditioner suitable for smooth calfskin if needed. As with most smooth leathers, light hairline scratches and corner wear can appear with regular use.
Q: Is a serial number provided for this item? A: A serial number is not listed in the product information for this specific bag. If you would like further interior details or extra photos before purchasing, it is best to request additional product information.
Q: How is authenticity handled for a pre-owned Saint Laurent bag? A: Authenticity should never rely on one detail alone. For Saint Laurent bags, experts typically assess the leather, craftsmanship, stamping, lining, hardware, and interior markings together. A Retro Tale specialises in authenticated luxury vintage pieces and stands behind the items it sells.
