Q: What typically fits inside this bag? A: With approximate measurements of 35 x 24 x 3 cm, it is best suited to slim daily essentials such as a phone, wallet, keys, sunglasses, small cosmetics, and a compact notebook. Its slim depth means it is not ideal for bulky items or most laptops.
Q: Can this bag be worn on the shoulder? A: Yes. This piece has a single adjustable shoulder strap with an approximate 22 cm drop, so it is designed for shoulder carry. The fit can vary slightly depending on your frame and what you are wearing, especially with heavier outerwear.
Q: Is every Saint Laurent Mombasa exactly the same? A: No. Vintage Mombasa bags were produced in different sizes, materials, and handle variations, so details can differ from one piece to another. This specific bag is the photographed black and white zebra-print calf hair version with black leather trim and silver-tone hardware.

Delivery & Returns
Q: What makes the Saint Laurent Mombasa bag so distinctive? A: The Mombasa is one of Saint Laurent’s most recognisable early-2000s designs, known for its slouchy hobo silhouette and sculptural horn handle. It is especially sought after in vintage form for its strong Tom Ford-era look and collectible appeal.
Q: What typically fits inside this bag? A: With approximate measurements of 35 x 24 x 3 cm, it is best suited to slim daily essentials such as a phone, wallet, keys, sunglasses, small cosmetics, and a compact notebook. Its slim depth means it is not ideal for bulky items or most laptops.
Q: Can this bag be worn on the shoulder? A: Yes. This piece has a single adjustable shoulder strap with an approximate 22 cm drop, so it is designed for shoulder carry. The fit can vary slightly depending on your frame and what you are wearing, especially with heavier outerwear.
Q: Does the bag close securely, and are there any internal pockets? A: Yes. It has a magnetic snap closure and a black fabric-lined interior with one internal pocket, which is useful for separating smaller essentials.
Q: Is zebra-print calf hair delicate? A: Calf hair is a statement material and does need a little more care than smooth leather. It can handle gentle regular use, but constant rubbing against rough clothing, studs, or abrasive surfaces may lead to wear or balding over time, so it is best treated as a special everyday piece rather than a hard-wear bag.
Q: How should I care for the calf hair and leather trim? A: Handle it gently and avoid heavy friction, rain soaking, and direct heat. To refresh the hair, wipe or brush very softly in the direction of the nap only. Store it in its dust bag when not in use, and avoid overfilling the bag so the silhouette stays neat.
Q: What condition is this vintage piece in? A: The exterior and interior are both listed as Very Good with light traces of use, while the hardware remains shiny with light scratches. As with most vintage bags, minor signs of age are normal and form part of the character of the piece.
Q: What product information is included with this item? A: This item includes a dust bag. Any additional product information included with the purchase will always be stated on the product page, so if something is not listed, it should not be assumed to be included.
Q: Is every Saint Laurent Mombasa exactly the same? A: No. Vintage Mombasa bags were produced in different sizes, materials, and handle variations, so details can differ from one piece to another. This specific bag is the photographed black and white zebra-print calf hair version with black leather trim and silver-tone hardware.
Q: How do you authenticate a vintage Saint Laurent Mombasa bag? A: Authentication should look at the full combination of materials, construction, stitching, hardware, interior details, and era-appropriate design features rather than one detail alone. At A Retro Tale, all items are carefully vetted for authenticity before being offered for sale.
