Perfect for nights out, coffee runs or travel, this compact Balenciaga Le Cagole coin purse in black keeps your essentials secure and stylish, slipping easily into a mini bag or pocket for effortless, everyday polish.
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 of the Le Cagole Coin Purse? A: This piece measures approximately 11 cm (W) × 7.5 cm (H) × 0.5 cm (D) with a detachable leather lanyard of about 15 cm. It is a compact, slim coin purse designed for light essentials.
Q: What can realistically fit inside? A: It comfortably holds coins, folded notes, and a few cards (around 3–5, depending on embossing and thickness). A house key or slim lip balm can also fit. It is not designed for smartphones or bulky items.
Q: Will an AirPods charging case fit inside? A: Not comfortably. Most AirPods charging cases are roughly 4.6–5.4 cm wide and about 2.1 cm deep, while this coin purse has a slim profile around 0.5 cm, so the case is typically too thick. Slim card-style earbuds cases may fit, but standard AirPods cases generally do not.
Q: Is the leather lanyard detachable and can I use it as a wristlet or bag charm? A: Yes. The leather lanyard is detachable and sized for wrist carry. You can also loop it through a D-ring or handle to wear the purse as a charm on a handbag or belt loop.
Q: What materials and hardware does it have? A: It is crafted in Balenciaga’s crinkled Arena lambskin with silver-toned (aged-silver look) hardware and a fabric-lined main compartment, finished with a top zip closure. The label indicates Made in Italy.
Q: Does it have any internal or external pockets? A: This specific piece has one main zip compartment without dedicated internal card slots, keeping the profile sleek and minimal.
Q: How should I care for the leather? A: Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth after use. Avoid water, oils, and alcohol-based products, and keep it away from prolonged heat or direct sunlight. Store it loosely filled to maintain shape and in a breathable dust bag when not in use. Lambskin is supple and can scratch, so avoid abrasive surfaces and overfilling.
Q: What accessories are included with this item? A: The listing states no accessories are included beyond the piece itself. If items such as a dust bag, box, or cards are not listed under Accessories, they are not included.
Q: Is this item authentic? A: Yes. Every piece at A Retro Tale is thoroughly authenticated by in-house experts using multi-point checks of materials, hardware, stamps, and construction. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and are happy to provide further details on request.
Q: How does this differ from a standard cardholder? A: A cardholder is usually a flat piece with open slots for cards. The Le Cagole Coin Purse is a zipped pouch intended for coins and small items, with a detachable lanyard for wrist or bag-charm use. If you want integrated card slots, Balenciaga also offers coin-and-card holder variants in the Le Cagole line (different model).
