This vintage Saint Laurent Belle de Jour clutch in blue patent leather offers a sleek option for evening plans and special occasions. In good condition, it features the signature stitched YSL logo and a flap closure, while visible scuffs, marks, some discolouration, creasing and dents reflect its pre-loved character.
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 this Saint Laurent Belle de Jour clutch? A: With measurements of approximately 27.5 x 17 x 3 cm, it is best suited to slim essentials such as a phone, cardholder, keys, lipstick, and a few small personal items. It is a compact clutch rather than a roomy everyday bag.
Q: Will it fit a large phone? A: Yes, most modern smartphones should fit comfortably inside. That said, a bulky phone case, full-size purse, or extra items like a power bank will reduce the available space quickly.
Q: Does this bag have a strap or handle? A: No strap or handle measurements are listed for this item, and this model is designed to be carried as a true clutch in the hand or tucked under the arm.
Q: How does the bag close? A: This piece features a flap closure, which helps keep the contents secure while maintaining the Belle de Jour’s sleek envelope-style shape.
Q: Is patent leather high-maintenance? A: Patent leather has a glossy finish that looks striking, but it can show fingerprints, scuffs, and colour transfer more easily than more matte leathers. It is best to handle it with a little extra care and avoid rough surfaces or dark fabrics that may rub off.
Q: How should I care for and store patent leather? A: Wipe it gently with a soft dry or slightly damp cloth, and avoid harsh cleaners or alcohol-based products. For storage, keep it lightly stuffed in a breathable dust bag, away from heat, humidity, and direct sunlight, and avoid pressing it tightly against other leather goods.
Q: What is the condition of this specific piece? A: This item is in good overall condition. The exterior shows visible scuffs and marks, along with some discolouration, creasing, and dents. The interior remains in good condition with light traces of use and some minor marks.
Q: Is it mainly an evening bag, or can it also be used in the day? A: The slim silhouette makes it especially well suited to evening wear, dinners, and events, but it can also work well in the daytime when you only need a few essentials and want a polished, lightweight option.
Q: What is included with this clutch? A: According to the product information for this item, no additional included items are listed with the bag.
Q: How do you authenticate this clutch? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is reviewed by in-house experts using detailed checks of materials, construction, logo work, stamps, and overall consistency, so you can shop pre-loved luxury with confidence.
