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.
Q: What are the measurements and strap drop of this Wallet On Chain? A: The bag measures approximately 19 × 12.5 × 3 cm with a chain strap drop of about 60 cm. It is designed to be worn crossbody or on the shoulder.
Q: What typically fits inside a Classic WOC? A: Think compact essentials: a smartphone up to around 16 × 7.8 cm, several cards using the built‑in slots, folded notes, a slim car key fob, and a lipstick. It will not fit a long continental wallet, a water bottle, or bulky items. Packing flatter items helps the flap close smoothly.
Q: Will an iPhone Pro Max fit? A: In most cases yes, but it is a snug fit and usually works best without a thick or ringed case. Placing the phone upright or slightly angled helps. Very bulky cases may prevent the flap from closing properly.
Q: How is the interior organised? A: The Classic WOC layout typically includes six card slots, a central compartment, a zipped pocket, a slip pocket under the flap, a full‑length zipped pocket inside the flap, and a small exterior slip pocket for quick access.
Q: Is the chain removable or adjustable? A: The chain is fixed and not detachable. You can shorten the drop by looping part of the chain under the flap or tuck the chain inside to wear it as a clutch. Avoid tight knots or overstuffing that could imprint the leather.
Q: What material is this and how durable is it? A: It is crafted from caviar calfskin, a pebbled, textured leather known for being more resistant to surface scratches than smoother leathers. It is still leather, so mindful use is recommended to keep it looking its best.
Q: How should I care for caviar leather and the hardware? A: Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth after wear; let any light moisture air‑dry at room temperature; store loosely stuffed in its dust bag to maintain shape; keep away from humidity, oils, and prolonged sunlight to minimise colour transfer and fading. Use leather care products sparingly and only those suitable for coated calfskin; avoid abrasive cleaners on gold‑tone hardware.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed in the product information on this page. For this piece, the inclusions are the box and the dust bag.
Q: The serial sticker is illegible—does that affect authenticity? A: No. Every item at A Retro Tale is authenticated by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, stamps, and hardware. Serial stickers help with dating but are only one of several indicators. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide additional details on request.
