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 fits inside the Y Line Bucket Bag? A: With measurements of approximately 22 × 19 × 19 cm, it comfortably holds everyday essentials such as a smartphone, compact wallet, keys, a small make-up pouch, sunglasses case, and a 500 ml water bottle. An A5 diary or paperback will fit upright. Capacity depends on how you pack—please refer to the Measurements and photos for scale.
Q: Is the strap adjustable and can it be worn crossbody? A: Yes, it features a single flat adjustable shoulder strap with an approximate 30 cm drop. It is best suited to shoulder wear; most people will find the drop too short for a true crossbody carry.
Q: How secure is the drawstring closure? A: The drawstring cinches the opening for everyday security. For extra peace of mind, pull the cords snugly and tie a simple knot. As with most bucket bags, keep smaller valuables in a zip pouch inside the main compartment and carry the bag with the opening facing inward in crowded areas.
Q: Does it have internal pockets? A: This vintage model is fabric lined with a single main compartment. Please review the interior photos and product information on this page for full details of the layout.
Q: What does “Y Line” refer to on this bag? A: “Y Line” denotes the house’s subtle Y signature inspired by archival designs. On bucket styles, the Y is expressed through the bag’s paneling and minimalist lines rather than a large logo, giving a clean, timeless look.
Q: How should I care for the navy leather and contrast stitching? A: Wipe the exterior with a soft, dry cloth after use. Apply a neutral, high-quality leather conditioner sparingly a few times a year, testing first on a discreet area. Keep away from water, oils, and prolonged direct sunlight to prevent colour fading. Store stuffed to maintain shape, in a breathable dust bag, and avoid contact with dark textiles when damp to minimise colour transfer onto the light stitching.
Q: Where is the serial number and what format should I expect on a vintage Saint Laurent bag? A: On many Saint Laurent pieces, the serial number is heat-stamped on the reverse side of a small internal leather tag. Vintage YSL bags commonly feature a 12‑digit code separated by a dot, while later models may use different formats. Placement and formatting can vary by era and model, so minor variations are normal in older pieces.
Q: What exactly is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed in the product information section on this page. If an item such as a dust bag or care booklet is not listed there, it is not included with this piece.
Q: What does the “Very Good” condition grade mean for this bag? A: “Very Good” indicates gentle wear consistent with careful use. For this bag, that includes light scuff marks at the base, a small mark on the strap, a clean interior with light signs of use, and hardware that remains shiny with light surface scratches. Always check the close-up photos for the most accurate view.
