Q: What typically fits inside the Saint Laurent Y Bag? A: The Y Bag generally carries daily essentials: smartphone, compact wallet or cardholder, keys, lipstick, slim sunglasses case and a small cosmetics pouch. Many editions also take an A5 notebook or diary. Capacity varies by size (Small/Medium/Large) and production year—please refer to the Measurements on this page or contact us for tailored fit advice for this exact piece.
Q: Will it fit a tablet or laptop? A: Most Medium/Large Y Bags accommodate standard tablets. Slim 13‑inch laptops may fit in larger sizes, but smaller editions are not designed for laptops. Compare your device’s dimensions with the Measurements shown or ask us to perform a quick fit check against this specific bag.
Q: Are the straps adjustable, and can I wear it crossbody? A: Y Bags are commonly designed with fixed top handles for hand or shoulder carry. Some versions include a detachable shoulder strap; not all do. If a strap is included with this piece, it will be listed under Accessories and we’ll note the drop under Measurements—if anything is missing, just ask and we’ll confirm for you. Crossbody wear depends on the edition and strap length; many sit relatively high when worn crossbody.
Q: How secure is the closure and what pockets does it have? A: Many Y Bags feature a zip‑top main compartment for secure closure. Earlier “Cabas Chyc” styles often have a tab that tucks under the front Y with a magnetic/snap fastening. Interiors typically include slip and/or zip pockets for essentials, but layout can vary by season and size. Please review our photos and description for the exact configuration of this item.
Q: Is the Y Bag still produced? A: Earlier Y/Cabas Chyc styles are generally discontinued, though similar silhouettes and occasional reissues appear from time to time. Availability today is mainly through the pre‑loved market—specialists like A Retro Tale are ideal for finding specific editions and sizes.
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.

Crossbody wear depends on the edition and strap length; many sit relatively high when worn crossbody.
Q: How secure is the closure and what pockets does it have? A: Many Y Bags feature a zip‑top main compartment for secure closure. Earlier “Cabas Chyc” styles often have a tab that tucks under the front Y with a magnetic/snap fastening. Interiors typically include slip and/or zip pockets for essentials, but layout can vary by season and size. Please review our photos and description for the exact configuration of this item.
Q: What materials and hardware are common for the Y Bag? A: The Y Bag is commonly crafted in calfskin leather (smooth or grained/pebbled), with textile or leather lining and gold‑tone or silver‑tone hardware. Saint Laurent bags are produced in France or Italy; branding inside the bag will reflect the country of manufacture. Our listing specifies the exact materials and origin for this piece.
Q: How should I care for smooth vs grained leather? A: Keep the bag away from moisture, oils and prolonged sunlight, and be mindful of colour transfer from dark denim. Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth. Smooth leather shows scratches and pressure marks more readily; grained leather is generally more scratch‑resistant. Condition smooth leather sparingly with a neutral, high‑quality product (test first on a discreet area). Store the bag lightly stuffed, upright, in a breathable dust bag, with hardware protected from rubbing.
Q: Does the Y hardware scratch easily? How can I minimise marks? A: Polished hardware can develop light hairline scratches with normal use. To minimise marks, avoid contact with rough surfaces, don’t let the hardware rub against keys or zips inside, and store the bag with a soft cloth or felt between hardware and leather. Minor surface wear is expected with pre‑loved pieces and does not affect functionality.
Q: Where are the brand markings and codes located, and how is dating handled? A: Authentic Saint Laurent bags feature an interior heat‑stamp (e.g., “SAINT LAURENT PARIS”) and “Made in [country]” marking. A unique serial number is typically embossed on a leather tab inside (often near an interior pocket); format and placement vary by era. We’re happy to share close‑up photos and help date this specific piece on request. Our listing states France (FR) as the origin for this bag.
Q: Is the Y Bag still produced? A: Earlier Y/Cabas Chyc styles are generally discontinued, though similar silhouettes and occasional reissues appear from time to time. Availability today is mainly through the pre‑loved market—specialists like A Retro Tale are ideal for finding specific editions and sizes.
Q: What accessories are included and how do you authenticate? A: Any included items (e.g., dust bag, detachable strap, box) are listed under Accessories. If an accessory isn’t mentioned there, it isn’t included—feel free to contact us for confirmation. Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes rigorous, multi‑point authentication by our in‑house experts, assessing materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and serial number, and overall construction. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell.
