Saint Laurent Medium Monogram Kate Tassel Bag

Q: What typically fits inside the Saint Laurent Medium Monogram Kate Tassel Bag?
A: With measurements of approximately 24 x 15 x 5.5 cm, this medium Kate is best for essentials. It should comfortably hold a smartphone, cardholder or slim wallet, keys, lipstick, and a few small daily items. Bulky pouches, large sunglasses cases, or anything tablet-sized will be a tight fit.

Q: Is this bag better for evenings or everyday use?
A: The Kate is especially loved as a polished day-to-evening bag. In medium size, it offers a little more practicality than the smaller versions while still keeping the elegant, dressier silhouette that makes it ideal for dinners, events, weddings, and nights out.

Q: Does this bag have compartments or pockets inside?
A: Yes. This vintage piece has a black lining with one internal pocket, which is useful for keeping smaller essentials organised. It closes with a magnetic flap for quick and secure access.

Q: Can the chain strap be adjusted?
A: This item is listed with an adjustable strap measurement of 25. As with many Kate styles, the chain design is intended for refined shoulder carry, and the exact fit will depend on how you prefer to wear it and your height.

Q: Is the tassel removable?
A: No, the tassel is generally part of the design on Kate tassel styles rather than a separate detachable feature. It is one of the signature details that gives this model its more glamorous finish.

Q: What condition is this bag in?
A: The overall condition is rated Very Good. The exterior and interior both show light traces of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches. That makes it a well-kept vintage piece with gentle signs of previous wear rather than heavy use.

Q: What is included with this item?
A: This piece is sold as the bag only. No extra items are included with this vintage piece, so if you are looking for a box, dust bag, or authenticity card, please assume they are not part of this listing unless otherwise stated.

Q: How should I care for a vintage leather Kate bag?
A: Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, ideally lightly stuffed to help maintain its shape. Wipe the leather gently with a soft dry cloth, avoid overfilling, and take care around jewellery, rough surfaces, and heavy moisture to protect the leather, corners, and hardware.

Q: How is authenticity handled for this bag?
A: A Retro Tale states that all items are authenticated by its in-house experts as part of a two-step process. For buyers who would like added reassurance, the store also offers a separate digital authenticity certificate service.
