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 Loulou Raffia Bag? A: With approximate dimensions of 26 x 17 x 9 cm, it is a compact day-to-evening bag that should comfortably hold a phone, a small wallet or card holder, keys, sunglasses, and a few beauty essentials. It is not designed for bulkier items such as a tablet, notebook, or large water bottle.
Q: Is this the small size? A: Yes. This piece is listed as the Small Loulou model. Buyers often choose this size because it offers practical room for daily essentials while keeping the compact, elegant silhouette the Loulou is known for.
Q: Can this bag be worn crossbody? A: This specific item has a single chain shoulder strap with an approximate 50 cm drop. It is best suited to shoulder wear; depending on your height and styling preference, it may not sit like a true crossbody bag.
Q: How is the interior organised? A: The bag features a magnetic flap closure, beige canvas lining, and one internal zipped pocket. This makes it easy to keep smaller valuables such as cards, receipts, or lipstick separate from the main compartment.
Q: What condition is this bag in? A: It is in very good pre-owned condition overall. The exterior shows light traces of use, the inner lining has stains, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches. These are typical signs of careful prior wear on a vintage raffia style.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This bag comes with a dust bag. Everything included is shown in the product information section; if something is not listed there, it should not be assumed to be included.
Q: How should I care for a raffia bag like this? A: Raffia is best kept away from prolonged moisture, heavy loads, and rough surfaces. Spot clean gently with a soft cloth, avoid soaking it, let it air dry naturally if it gets damp, and store it in a dust bag with light stuffing to help maintain its shape.
Q: Is raffia durable enough for regular use? A: Yes, for light regular use. Raffia bags are popular because they are lightweight and stylish, but they are generally more delicate than full leather bags. For the best longevity, avoid overfilling the bag and try to keep it away from rain, friction, and direct heat.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully checked by in-house experts using material, construction, hardware, and brand-detail assessments. We only sell items we believe to be authentic, and we are happy to answer specific product questions before purchase.
