Q: Can this bag be carried on the shoulder? A: Yes. The dual leather handles have an approximate strap drop of 18 cm, so it should sit on the shoulder for many people. Fit can vary depending on your frame and whether you are wearing thicker outerwear.
Q: Is the Downtown Tote more structured or slouchy? A: The Downtown is known for its relaxed, softly structured silhouette. It has enough body to hold its shape nicely, but it is not a rigid tote, which gives it the effortless vintage look many collectors love.
Q: What material is this bag made from? A: This piece is crafted in camel-toned pebbled leather with gold-tone hardware. Inside, it features a tonal suede lining and one internal pocket. Pebbled leather is often appreciated for everyday use because it tends to disguise light surface wear better than smoother leathers.
Q: Is this a vintage Saint Laurent style? A: Yes. The Downtown is one of the house’s recognisable vintage tote styles from the mid-2000s and is especially loved for its slouchy city silhouette, moto-inspired detailing and oversized feel.
Q: What is the condition of this specific bag? A: This bag is listed in Very Good Condition. The exterior shows wear on the corners and handles, along with some scuffs and marks. The interior has light traces of use and minor stains, while the hardware remains shiny with light scratches. We recommend reviewing all photos closely for the most accurate impression of its current condition.
Q: Does this item come with any extras? A: No additional items are included with this bag. If a dust bag, box, authenticity card or other extras are not listed in the product information, they are not included with this item.
Q: How should I care for the pebbled leather and suede lining? A: Wipe the leather gently with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth and avoid harsh cleaners, oils and prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or heat. For the suede lining, use a dry suede brush very lightly if needed and avoid excess moisture. To help maintain the shape, store the bag loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag when not in use.
Q: How do I know this bag is authentic? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully checked by experts before sale. For vintage Saint Laurent bags, authenticity is typically assessed through details such as leather quality, construction, hardware, stamps and interior finishing.
