Tom Ford’s Mombasa, drawn in black leather and horn.
Tom Ford’s Mombasa gives Yves Saint Laurent a silhouette you can recognise by its handle alone. This black leather shoulder bag sets a dark, curved horn handle above a supple, panelled body, with silver-tone fittings catching the light at either end. The design belongs to Ford’s Spring/Summer 2002 Mombasa story, a defining chapter for the house’s accessories. Graded Very Good, 8/10, this example wears close beneath the arm and brings that sculptural line to a Cairo wardrobe.

The Vision ›
Let the handle sit in view above a bare shoulder or a fine cotton shirt. Black suede inside and the narrow base keep the experience soft and close to the body. With the curved horn framed by silver-tone fittings, this Mombasa brings its own ornament to an otherwise spare outfit.
The Provenance ›
Tom Ford’s Mombasa entered Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche’s Spring/Summer 2002 collection, with sales beginning in late 2001. Its reception helped shift a house whose sales had centred on clothing into a recognised accessories business. The remarkable part is how little the design needed: a soft body and a sculptural handle strong enough to identify the bag across a room. This black leather example keeps that idea in focus, with its exposed dark horn and silver-tone attachments.
The Dialogue ›
How does this Saint Laurent Mombasa sit on the shoulder?
The 15 cm shoulder drop places the bag close beneath the arm. Its body measures 36 cm across and 31 cm high, with a narrow 3 cm base; a lighter daily load preserves the soft shape and reduces pressure on the handle attachments.
What should I know about its condition?
This piece is graded Very Good, 8/10. The leather has scratches and marks, with rubbing and fine surface splits around the edges and handle attachments. The suede lining and metal fittings also show carried wear. Two Saint Laurent cards accompany the bag.
