Balenciaga 2018 Laundry Cabas Fringe Tote Bag

Q: What typically fits inside the Balenciaga 2018 Laundry Cabas Fringe Tote Bag?
A: With approximate measurements of 35 x 37 x 23 cm, this is a roomy everyday tote. It can generally hold a wallet, phone, sunglasses, a cosmetics pouch, a water bottle, a notebook and other daily essentials, with extra space for bulkier items such as a scarf or light cardigan.

Q: Can this bag be carried on the shoulder?
A: Yes. This style has dual flat handles, and the listed strap drop is approximately 24 cm, which usually makes it comfortable to carry over the shoulder as well as by hand.

Q: Does it fit a laptop?
A: Based on the listed dimensions, many 13-inch laptops should fit inside. Slim 14-inch devices may also fit, but this depends on the sleeve and the exact shape of your computer. If you plan to carry a larger laptop, we recommend comparing your device measurements with the bag before purchase.

Q: Does this tote close securely?
A: This specific bag has an open top, so it offers quick access to your belongings rather than a zipped or flap closure. If you prefer extra organisation, a slim pouch or organiser can be a helpful addition.

Q: How is the interior organised?
A: The bag has a tonal lining and one internal pocket. It is designed as a spacious tote rather than a heavily compartmentalised bag, so the interior is relatively open and easy to use.

Q: What is special about the Laundry Cabas Fringe design?
A: This model stands out for its soft black leather construction, dramatic fringed exterior and Balenciaga logo print. The silhouette combines a practical cabas tote shape with a more directional, fashion-led look.

Q: What condition is this item in?
A: It is listed in very good condition, with light traces of use to the exterior and interior. The hardware is described as shiny with light scratches. As with all pre-owned pieces, reviewing the product images is the best way to appreciate the exact condition.

Q: Are any original extras included?
A: No additional included items are listed for this piece. Please refer to the Product information on this page for the exact inclusions for this specific bag.

Q: How should I care for the leather and fringe?
A: For routine care, wipe gently with a soft dry cloth and avoid prolonged exposure to rain, heat and direct sunlight. Store it upright or lightly stuffed in a breathable dust bag to help maintain the shape and keep the fringe neat. For deeper cleaning or conditioning, it is safest to use a trusted leather specialist.

Q: Where was this bag made, and is it authenticated?
A: This piece is listed as made in France. As a pre-owned luxury item from A Retro Tale, it is professionally vetted for authenticity before sale.
