A sleek companion for meetings, dinners or city breaks, this vintage Saint Laurent Cassandre card holder in black croc-embossed leather keeps essentials refined and discreet, adding a polished touch from day to night.
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: How much can the Cassandre card holder carry day to day? A: This compact piece comfortably holds everyday essentials: four frequently used cards in the back slots, plus extra cards, folded notes, receipts and a few coins in the zipped compartment. For long‑term shape, we suggest 4–6 cards in total rather than consistently overstuffing.
Q: Does the zipped compartment work for coins and cash? A: Yes. The main zipped pocket is ideal for coins and folded banknotes, and can also take a spare key or neatly folded receipts. Avoid excessive coins to keep the profile slim and the zipper running smoothly.
Q: What are the measurements and will it fit in a pocket or mini bag? A: Approx. 13 x 7.5 x 1 cm. The slim profile slips easily into most trouser and jacket pockets and fits comfortably in mini bags and clutches.
Q: How many card slots does this specific piece have? A: It has four card slots at the back plus the central zipped compartment, giving quick access to your most‑used cards while keeping cash and coins secure.
Q: Is the leather real crocodile? A: No. It is croc‑embossed calfskin, meaning the crocodile pattern is stamped onto genuine calf leather. You get the textured look with everyday durability of calfskin and no exotic leather care requirements.
Q: Is this card holder unisex? A: Yes. Saint Laurent card holders are styled and sized for anyone; this minimalist format and black finish make it a versatile choice regardless of gender.
Q: Does it have RFID‑blocking built in? A: No, this model is not designed as an RFID‑blocking wallet. Modern contactless fraud risk is generally low, but if you prefer added protection you can use separate RFID sleeves for specific cards.
Q: How should I care for croc‑embossed calfskin and the hardware? A: Wipe with a soft dry or slightly damp lint‑free cloth, avoid soaps, solvents and alcohol wipes, and keep away from prolonged sunlight, heat and moisture. Do not overfill to prevent stretching at the slots. Store in a cool, dry place inside its box when not in use and avoid metal polishes on the logo—just buff gently with a clean cloth.
Q: What is the condition of this item? A: Very good pre‑owned condition with light traces of use on the exterior and interior. Please review the photos for close‑ups of the surfaces and edges.
Q: What accessories are included and how is authenticity handled? A: This piece comes with a box. Every item at A Retro Tale is thoroughly authenticated by our experts before listing; serial stamps are typically found discreetly inside Saint Laurent small leather goods. If you’d like additional photos or details, just ask our team.
