Q: What fits inside the Balenciaga Compact Gold Wallet? A: With approximate measurements of 6 × 9 × 3 cm, it comfortably holds daily essentials such as 3–5 cards, folded banknotes, and small items like a key or receipts. Smartphones will not fit.
Q: Does this piece have card slots or a coin pocket? A: This specific item has an envelope flap with a snap button and one main compartment; it does not feature a separate zipped coin pocket or built‑in multi‑card sections.
Q: Will notes fit without folding? A: Due to the compact width, most currencies will need to be folded once or twice to sit neatly inside.
Q: How secure is the closure for everyday use? A: The snap‑button envelope flap provides a secure, quick‑access closure that keeps contents in place when carried in a pocket or small bag.
Q: What is the leather and how does the gold finish wear over time? A: The wallet is crafted from crinkled, metallic‑finish leather in a gold tone. Metallic finishes are coated for durability but may show surface rub on corners or high‑friction points with frequent use. Minimising abrasion will help preserve the sheen.
Q: How should I clean and care for the metallic leather? A: Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth after use; keep away from water, oils, alcohol gels, and direct heat or sunlight. Avoid harsh cleaners. If conditioning is needed, test a tiny hidden area first and use a neutral balm sparingly, avoiding the metallic topcoat. Store lightly stuffed in a breathable pouch and away from items that could transfer colour. Do not overfill to prevent stretching.
Q: Is the wallet unisex? A: Yes. The minimalist envelope design and compact format suit any gender—choose based on personal style and carry needs.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information section. For this piece, no extras are included.
Q: Where is it made? A: The country of origin label states Italy.
Q: How do you authenticate this item? A: Every piece at A Retro Tale is vetted by in‑house specialists using multi‑point checks of leather, stitching, hardware and brand markings. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell.
