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 Small Kate Tassel Bag? A: This is a compact bag designed for essentials. Based on the measurements on this page, it will typically fit a phone, cardholder, keys, lipstick and a few small items. Bulkier pieces such as a large purse, sunglasses case or power bank may make the slim interior feel tight.
Q: Can it be worn crossbody? A: The bag has a chain strap measuring approximately 56 cm. It sits well as a shoulder bag and may also work crossbody on some frames, depending on your height and preferred fit.
Q: Is the tassel removable? A: No, the tassel is part of the design on this version. The chain strap is also fixed rather than adjustable, although some owners tuck the chain inside to carry it more like a clutch.
Q: How is the interior organised? A: The bag has a magnetic flap closure, tonal suede lining and one internal pocket. It is best suited to neatly organised essentials rather than bulky daily carry.
Q: Is this more of an evening bag or an everyday bag? A: The Small Kate works especially well for dinners, events and light day-to-evening use. If you usually carry more than the basics, a larger bag may feel more practical.
Q: Where was this bag made? A: The country of origin label states Italy.
Q: What condition is this vintage piece in? A: It is listed in very good condition. There are light traces of use, some visible exterior marks and scratches, minor interior marks, and shiny hardware with light scratches.
Q: What is included with this item? A: A dust bag is included. Everything included with the bag is listed in the product information section; if another item is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: Does this bag have a serial number listed? A: No serial number is listed for this item in the product information. On Saint Laurent bags, a code is often found on an internal leather tab when present, and authenticity questions are common with pre-owned pieces. Every item at A Retro Tale is vetted for authenticity by in-house experts.
Q: How should I care for this bag? A: To help preserve the leather and hardware, wipe it gently with a soft cloth, avoid prolonged moisture and direct heat, and store it in its dust bag when not in use. Light stuffing can also help the bag keep its shape.
