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 Shopping Tote Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 47 x 29 x 14 cm, this is a roomy everyday tote. It should comfortably hold daily essentials such as a wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses, a cosmetics pouch, A4 documents and a water bottle, with space left for light extras. As with any tote, capacity depends on how you pack, so please use the listed measurements as your main guide.
Q: Can this bag be worn comfortably on the shoulder? A: Yes. This tote has dual flat shoulder straps and a handle drop of approximately 25 cm, which is generally comfortable for shoulder carry and easy day-to-day use.
Q: Does the bag close fully? A: No, this style uses a magnetic snap closure rather than a full zip. That makes it practical for quick access, but it is more open than a zipped tote, so it is worth keeping that in mind for commuting or travel.
Q: Is this a good bag for work or everyday use? A: Yes. The Saint Laurent Shopping Tote is known for its minimalist look, light structure and generous interior, which is why many buyers use it as a daily or work bag. This particular piece is vintage and in good condition, so it is best suited to regular use with sensible care rather than rough handling.
Q: Will it fit a laptop? A: In many cases, yes. Based on the overall size, it should suit a slim 13-inch laptop and other flat essentials, and some buyers also use similar Saint Laurent shopping totes for larger devices. We still recommend comparing your own laptop measurements with the bag’s listed dimensions before purchasing, especially if you use a padded sleeve.
Q: Would a bag organiser be useful with this model? A: Yes, many owners prefer to use an organiser with this style. It can help keep the open interior tidy, add a little structure and offer some extra protection for the lining when carrying heavier items.
Q: What is the condition of this specific bag? A: This item is listed in good condition. The exterior shows wear on the handles, the interior has visible marks and signs of wear, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches. Please review the photos as well as the written condition notes for the clearest impression.
Q: What is included with this item? A: The product information states that no additional items are included with this bag. If you were expecting anything extra such as a pouch, dust bag, box or card, it should only be assumed to be included if it is explicitly mentioned in the product information for this listing.
Q: Does this bag have a serial number or date code? A: No serial number is listed in the current product information. Saint Laurent bags often have an interior date or style code rather than an externally visible serial number, and placement can vary by production era. This bag is marked as made in Italy.
Q: How should I care for this vintage leather tote? A: We recommend gentle care: avoid overfilling, keep it away from prolonged rain and direct heat, and wipe it with a soft dry cloth after use. When stored, keep it lightly stuffed so it holds its shape. Because this example already shows handle wear and interior marks, a little extra care will help preserve it well.
Q: How do you authenticate this Saint Laurent bag? A: Every item sold by A Retro Tale is checked for authenticity before it is listed. For Saint Laurent bags, this typically includes reviewing details such as materials, construction, hardware, branding and interior markings where available.
