Balenciaga Le Cagole Coin Purse

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).
