Q: What size is this Saint Laurent Mombasa Bag? A: This bag measures approximately 34 cm wide, 24 cm high and 3 cm deep. It has an 18 cm strap drop, giving it a slim shoulder-bag profile. As always, please refer to the Measurements on this page for the most accurate fit.
Q: What typically fits inside this bag? A: With its long, flat silhouette, it is best suited to daily essentials such as a phone, small wallet, keys, sunglasses, a cardholder and a few beauty items. It is not designed for bulkier belongings, so larger items like laptops or thick organisers are unlikely to fit comfortably.
Q: Can this bag be worn on the shoulder? A: Yes. With a strap drop of approximately 18 cm, this piece is intended to sit neatly on the shoulder. The fit can vary slightly depending on what you are wearing, so it will feel roomier over lighter layers than over heavy outerwear.
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 this bag? A: With its long, flat silhouette, it is best suited to daily essentials such as a phone, small wallet, keys, sunglasses, a cardholder and a few beauty items. It is not designed for bulkier belongings, so larger items like laptops or thick organisers are unlikely to fit comfortably.
Q: Is the Saint Laurent Mombasa considered an iconic style? A: Yes. The Mombasa is one of Saint Laurent’s best-known archival bag designs and is especially associated with the early-2000s era. It is widely appreciated for its sculptural look and collectable fashion history, which is why vintage examples remain highly sought after.
Q: Can this bag be worn on the shoulder? A: Yes. With a strap drop of approximately 18 cm, this piece is intended to sit neatly on the shoulder. The fit can vary slightly depending on what you are wearing, so it will feel roomier over lighter layers than over heavy outerwear.
Q: What is the condition of this particular bag? A: This item is listed in very good condition. The exterior shows edge wear, scuffs, marks and scratches, while the interior has light traces of use. The hardware remains shiny with light scratches. We recommend reviewing all product images carefully for the best impression of its current vintage condition.
Q: Does this bag come with any extras? A: No. According to the product information, this item comes with no accessories. If you would like to confirm what is included before purchase, you are always welcome to contact us.
Q: Where was this bag made? A: The product data lists France as the country of origin label for this piece. That makes it an especially appealing option for collectors who value Saint Laurent’s French heritage and craftsmanship.
Q: How should I care for a vintage Saint Laurent Mombasa Bag? A: Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and avoid overfilling it, as the silhouette is relatively slim. Gently wipe the exterior with a soft, dry cloth and avoid harsh cleaning agents. For vintage pieces, careful storage and light handling help preserve both the leather and the bag’s overall structure.
Q: Is the Mombasa a practical everyday bag or more of a statement piece? A: It can work as both, depending on your needs. Its shape makes it practical for carrying essentials, while the Mombasa line is particularly loved for its distinctive archival look. Many buyers choose it as a statement shoulder bag for day-to-evening wear rather than as a large all-purpose carryall.
Q: How do you authenticate a Saint Laurent bag like this? A: At A Retro Tale, every item is checked by specialists using a multi-point authentication process. This typically includes assessment of materials, construction, hardware, branding details and overall consistency with the model. When buying vintage Saint Laurent, authentication is especially important, which is why expert review is a key part of the process.
