Q: What typically fits inside the Small YSL Kahala Crossbody? A: With approximate dimensions of 30 × 22 × 2 cm, it holds a large smartphone, a slim wallet or card holder, keys, passport, and a few small essentials. An A5 notebook or e‑reader/iPad mini fits, but A4 documents and most 11‑inch tablets are not recommended.
Q: How does the strap wear and is it adjustable? A: This piece has a single flat shoulder strap with an approximate 50 cm drop. It is fixed‑length and not removable. It wears comfortably on the shoulder and as a short crossbody depending on your height; we suggest comparing the drop to a favourite bag for reference.
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.

It wears comfortably on the shoulder and as a short crossbody depending on your height; we suggest comparing the drop to a favourite bag for reference.
Q: What are the internal features? A: The bag is lined in black fabric and includes one internal zip pocket, keeping small valuables secure while leaving the main compartment easy to access.
Q: What colour and hardware does this item have? A: Navy canvas with black leather trim, gold‑tone hardware, and a large stitched YSL logo on the front, as shown in the photos and described on this page.
Q: What is included with this item? A: The item is sold as photographed. Please refer to the product information on this page for exactly what is included; if something like a dust bag or card is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: What is the condition? A: Very Good overall with light traces of wear; hardware is shiny with light scratches. Please review all photos for close‑ups of the condition.
Q: When was the YSL Kahala style produced? A: The Kahala is a vintage YSL line most commonly seen from the late 1990s into the 2000s. The exact year for an individual piece can sometimes be inferred from its internal code and construction details.
Q: Does this bag have a serial or date code and what does it mean? A: Many vintage YSL bags carry a 12‑digit serial number separated by a dot; some older pieces may not have one. Later formats combine letters and numbers, with the last four digits indicating month and year. Serial details are only one part of verification—our specialists also assess materials, stitching, stamps and hardware.
Q: How should I care for the canvas and leather trim? A: Wipe canvas with a soft, slightly damp cloth and let it air dry; spot‑clean gently with a small amount of mild soap in water, avoiding saturation. Nourish leather trim sparingly with a neutral conditioner. Avoid harsh chemicals, alcohol wipes or coloured creams. Store the bag lightly stuffed in a breathable dust bag, away from direct sunlight and humidity.
Q: Is this suitable for everyday wear? A: Yes. The slim silhouette and lightweight canvas make it an easy day‑to‑evening option for essentials while keeping hands free.
