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 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.
