Q: What typically fits inside the Saint Laurent Medium Envelope Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 24 x 18 x 7 cm, it is best suited to day-to-evening essentials such as a phone, compact wallet, keys, sunglasses and a few small personal items. It is not designed for bulkier items such as a tablet, water bottle or laptop. Capacity can vary depending on how you organise the interior, so please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.
Q: Can this bag be worn crossbody? A: This style is known for its sliding chain strap, but on this specific pre-owned piece the strap measurement is listed as 32 cm and adjustable. For most people, that makes it best suited to shoulder wear rather than a long crossbody fit, though it may sit differently depending on height and frame.
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.

For most people, that makes it best suited to shoulder wear rather than a long crossbody fit, though it may sit differently depending on height and frame.
Q: Is grain de poudre leather durable for everyday use? A: Yes. Grain de poudre embossed leather is widely favoured for its structured feel and better resistance to visible scratches than smoother leathers. The matelassé finish also helps the bag hold its shape nicely, making it a practical choice for frequent use.
Q: Is the chain strap comfortable on the shoulder? A: The chain strap includes a leather shoulder pad, which helps make the bag more comfortable to carry than a chain-only strap. Many shoppers choose the Medium Envelope as a polished day bag for this reason.
Q: How secure is the closure? A: This bag has a magnetic flap closure. It offers convenient access while keeping daily essentials neatly contained, though it is best not to overfill the bag if you want the flap to sit flat and secure.
Q: How should I care for this bag? A: To keep the quilted leather looking its best, store the bag in its dust bag when not in use, avoid overfilling, and keep it away from prolonged moisture, heat and direct sunlight. Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth and use a professional leather specialist for deeper cleaning or conditioning.
Q: Does black hardware mark easily? A: Black hardware can show light surface scratches with regular use. On this particular bag, the hardware is described as shiny with light scratches, which is consistent with gentle pre-owned wear.
Q: What condition is this pre-owned bag in? A: The exterior and interior are both noted as excellent with very light traces of use. The hardware remains shiny with light scratches, and the overall condition is listed as very good.
Q: What comes with this bag? A: This item includes a box and dust bag. For included-item details, please check the product information on this page.
Q: Is this bag authentic? A: Yes. A Retro Tale specialises in authentic luxury vintage and second-hand designer pieces, and each item is carefully vetted before sale.
