Delivery & Returns
Q: What fits inside the Saint Laurent Medium College Bag? A: With measurements of approximately 24 x 17 x 7 cm, this medium size typically fits everyday essentials such as a phone, a regular wallet, keys, sunglasses, and a few small cosmetics. It is best suited to daily essentials rather than bulkier items like a tablet or laptop.
Q: Can this bag be worn crossbody? A: Yes. The Medium College style is designed to be worn on the shoulder or crossbody, and this item includes a detachable shoulder strap with an approximate drop of 58 cm. It also has a top handle with an approximate 6 cm drop for hand carry.
Q: How is the inside organised? A: This style is known for its practical layout. This piece has a black fabric lining with a central zipped compartment, which helps keep essentials separated and easy to reach.
Q: How secure is the closure? A: The bag features a magnetic flap closure, which makes it easy to open and close while keeping everyday items neatly covered.
Q: What material and finish does this bag have? A: This piece is crafted in chevron-quilted leather in a grey-taupe tone with silver-tone hardware. The College line is especially recognised for its soft quilted leather, structured flap, and signature YSL front detail.
Q: Is the Medium College Bag a good everyday size? A: For many buyers, yes. The medium size is widely considered one of the most versatile College Bag formats because it offers enough room for daily essentials while still looking polished for evening use.
Q: Does the leather show wear easily? A: Soft luxury leather can show wear over time, especially on corners, the flap, and the hardware. The quilted finish is generally appreciated for balancing a supple feel with day-to-day practicality, but gentle use and careful storage will help preserve the bag’s shape and surface.
Q: What is the condition of this specific item? A: This pre-owned bag is listed in Very Good condition, with light traces of use on both the exterior and interior. The hardware remains shiny with light scratches, which is consistent with careful previous wear.
Q: What is included with this item? A: According to the product information, this bag includes a detachable shoulder strap. If another item is not listed in the product information, it should not be assumed to be included.
Q: Where was this bag made? A: The country of origin label states Italy.
