Q: What are the dimensions and what does it fit? A: This Baguette measures approximately 27 × 15 × 4.5 cm. It comfortably holds a smartphone, a compact or standard bifold wallet, keys, and a few small extras (lipstick, hand sanitiser, cardholder). Capacity is slim due to the 4.5 cm depth, so bulky cases or water bottles will not fit. Contemporary medium Baguettes are designed to hold a 6.7-inch phone and a large wallet; use this as a guide and refer to our Measurements for this exact piece.
Q: Is this the classic medium/original size? A: Yes. With a width around 26–27 cm and a height around 15 cm, this aligns with the iconic medium (original) Baguette silhouette first introduced in 1997. Our piece measures 27 × 15 × 4.5 cm.
Q: Can it be worn crossbody? A: This vintage example is listed with a single adjustable shoulder strap (approximate drop 18 cm) and is best worn on the shoulder or by hand. Contemporary versions often include a longer strap for crossbody wear, but this listing does not include a long strap—please see Product information for what is included.

Q: How should I care for the embossed Nappa leather? A: Wipe gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth after use.

Avoid harsh chemicals, over-conditioning, and prolonged exposure to rain, heat, or direct sunlight. Store stuffed to maintain shape, in a breathable dust bag, with the chain/hardware wrapped to prevent rubbing.
