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 Medium Chyc Cabas Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 29 x 22 x 14 cm, this medium satchel is best suited to daily essentials such as a long wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses, a small cosmetics pouch, and a compact umbrella. It may also fit a small tablet or e-reader, but it is not usually the best choice for larger laptops or bulky A4 paperwork.
Q: Can this bag be carried on the shoulder? A: Yes. This piece includes a detachable shoulder strap with an approximate drop of 44 cm, so it can be worn comfortably on the shoulder. The dual rolled handles have an approximate drop of 11 cm and are better suited to hand carry or the crook of the arm. For most people, the strap is better for shoulder wear than true crossbody wear.
Q: Is the bag secure for everyday use? A: Yes. The design combines a top zip closure with a magnetic flap closure, giving the bag a more secure opening than an open tote while still keeping access practical for everyday use.
Q: Is the Medium Chyc Cabas a good everyday or work bag? A: Yes, for many people it is. The Medium Chyc Cabas is known for its polished, structured look and practical day-bag size, making it a strong option for errands, lunch dates, meetings, and everyday essentials. If you need to carry heavier items, large files, or a laptop daily, a larger bag may be more suitable.
Q: Does the leather tend to scratch or lose shape over time? A: Like many structured leather satchels, the Chyc Cabas can show surface scratches, corner wear, and some softening or slouching with age and use. That is normal for this style. This particular bag is already noted as having light wear on the corners, while remaining in good overall condition.
Q: What condition is this bag in? A: This item is listed in good condition overall. The exterior shows light wear on the corners, the lining has a mark, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches. These are typical signs of gentle wear for a vintage leather bag and are worth reviewing in the product images before purchase.
Q: What are the key materials and details of this bag? A: This bag is crafted in brown leather with gold-tone hardware and a black fabric lining. It is made in Italy and features the signature Chyc Cabas look with dual rolled top handles, a detachable shoulder strap, and a zip-and-flap top closure.
Q: How should I care for a vintage Saint Laurent leather bag like this? A: To help preserve the shape and finish, store it lightly stuffed in its dust bag, keep it away from prolonged direct sunlight and moisture, and avoid overfilling it. For routine care, use a soft dry or slightly damp cloth for light surface cleaning. For conditioning, stain removal, or deeper treatment, a professional leather specialist is the safest option.
Q: What is included with this item? A: According to the product information, this bag comes with a dust bag and a detachable shoulder strap. If you would like to confirm anything else that may or may not be included, it is best to check the product information on this page.
Q: How do you authenticate a vintage Saint Laurent bag like this? A: At A Retro Tale, all items are carefully vetted for authenticity by trained experts. For vintage Saint Laurent bags, this typically includes checking details such as materials, construction, hardware, stamps, and overall consistency with the model and era.
