Saint Laurent Croc Kate Wallet On Chain Bag

Q: What are the size and strap drop of this Kate Wallet on Chain?
A: The small Kate WOC measures approximately 19 × 12.5 × 3.5 cm. On this piece the chain strap drop is about 60 cm for easy crossbody wear; Saint Laurent lists a 55 cm strap drop for comparable chain wallets.

Q: What typically fits inside?
A: The Kate WOC is made for essentials: a smartphone (up to around 16 cm length; larger models fit best without a bulky case), cards in the built‑in slots, notes, a key and a slim lipstick. A separate bulky wallet will reduce capacity, so we recommend using the integrated card slots and zip pocket.

Q: Is the chain removable and can I wear it crossbody or on the shoulder?
A: Many Saint Laurent chain wallets feature a removable chain and a drop suited to crossbody. You can also double the chain under the flap for a shorter shoulder look, or tuck it inside to carry as a clutch. Please check our photos and product information for this exact piece.

Q: How is the interior organised?
A: It typically includes around six card slots, one bill slot, a main compartment and a zipped pocket, secured by a magnetic flap closure—ideal for streamlined day‑to‑evening carry.

Q: Is the tassel removable?
A: No. On Kate Tassel models, the chain tassel is a fixed design element and is not intended to be detached.

Q: What leather is “crocodile‑embossed”?
A: It is calf leather pressed with a crocodile‑style pattern using heat and pressure. It delivers the textured look of exotic skin but is not made from crocodile leather.

Q: How should I care for croc‑embossed leather?
A: Wipe with a soft, dry cloth after use; avoid heavy oils or over‑conditioning which can soften and flatten the emboss; keep away from prolonged moisture and direct heat; and store loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag to maintain shape. Avoid colour transfer from dark denim or dyed fabrics.
