Q: What typically fits inside this Saint Laurent YSL Tote Bag?
A: With approximate measurements of 33 × 27 × 6 cm, it comfortably holds A4 documents placed horizontally, a 13-inch laptop or tablet in a slim sleeve, a long wallet, phone, keys and a small cosmetics pouch. Bulky binders or very thick laptop cases may be tight.

Q: Can it be worn on the shoulder?
A: Yes. The handle drop is approximately 22 cm, which suits most users for shoulder carry, including over light layers. If you wear heavier outerwear, compare with a bag you own that has a similar drop to ensure comfort.

Q: Does this tote have a closure?
A: This vintage piece is listed with an open top. For added security and organisation, consider using zipped pouches or a lightweight felt organiser. These help keep essentials in place and maintain the bag’s shape.

Q: Will a 13-inch laptop fit?
A: Generally yes. Based on the 33 cm width and 27 cm height, most 13-inch laptops fit flat inside. Use a slim protective sleeve to safeguard the leather and lining and to avoid pressure on the corners and seams.

Q: How durable is the leather and how should I care for it?
A: The grained, pebbled leather is known for being resilient and for disguising light marks. Wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. For deeper cleaning, use a dedicated leather cleaner suitable for pebbled leather and condition occasionally. Avoid heavy rain, direct heat and prolonged sunlight to preserve the colour and finish.

Q: How do I care for the gold‑tone hardware?
A: Gently wipe hardware with a dry, soft cloth after use to remove oils. Store so metal parts don’t rub against other items. Micro‑scratches from normal use are common; avoid abrasive cleaners or polishes.

Q: What signs of wear should I expect on this piece?
A: It is in very good vintage condition with visible scuffing on some corners and a few marks on the leather. Hardware remains shiny with light scratches, and the interior shows only a light trace of use. Please review the photos for a close look at the details.

Q: Does it come with extras like a dust bag or pouch?
A: Everything included is listed under the product information on this page. This item is currently sold without extras unless stated there.

Q: Is there a serial or date code on vintage YSL bags, and how do you authenticate this one?
A: Many Saint Laurent and earlier YSL bags have internal codes stamped on a leather tab or lining; formats have evolved over time, and codes on older pieces can vary or fade with wear. Regardless of the presence of a code, A Retro Tale authenticates every item using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware and brand stamps, and we stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell.

Q: How should I store the bag between wears?
A: Stuff lightly with acid‑free tissue, keep it upright in a breathable dust bag, and store in a cool, dry place away from sunlight. Avoid hanging by the handles for extended periods to prevent stretching.
