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 wrist size will this bracelet fit? A: According to the product measurements, it fits wrists measuring 15.5 cm in circumference and smaller. Because it has a buckle closure, you can adjust it within that range for a secure fit.
Q: What is the Balenciaga City Bracelet made from? A: This piece is crafted in black leather with silver-tone hardware and a buckle closure. The City line is known for combining supple leather with signature studded hardware-inspired detailing.
Q: What condition is this bracelet in? A: It is listed in Very Good condition with light traces of use. The hardware remains shiny with light scratches, which is consistent with gentle wear on a vintage leather bracelet.
Q: Is this bracelet comfortable for daily wear? A: Leather buckle bracelets are generally comfortable once adjusted correctly, but the best fit depends on your wrist size and how snugly you like to wear jewellery. This piece is relatively slim, so it works well as a statement accent without feeling overly bulky.
Q: How should I care for the leather? A: Wipe it gently with a soft, dry cloth after wear. Avoid water, perfume, hand sanitiser, oils, prolonged sunlight, and heat, as these can dry the leather or affect the finish. When not in use, store it in its dustbag or box.
Q: Will the hardware scratch over time? A: Light surface scratches are normal on silver-tone hardware, especially on pre-owned pieces. This bracelet already shows light scratches to the hardware, so careful wear and storage will help preserve its finish.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed in the product information. For this bracelet, that includes a box, dustbag and receipt.
Q: How do you check authenticity on a vintage Balenciaga bracelet? A: Pre-owned Balenciaga pieces are typically assessed by checking the leather quality, hardware finish, construction details, branding, and overall consistency with the model and period. A Retro Tale states that its items are authenticated by in-house experts before sale.
Q: Is it suitable for sensitive skin? A: Current Balenciaga City bracelets are described by the brand as nickel-free and lead-free, but because this is a vintage pre-owned item we recommend extra caution if you have known metal sensitivities.
