Balenciaga Compact Gold Wallet

Q: What fits inside the Balenciaga Compact Gold Wallet?
A: With approximate measurements of 6 × 9 × 3 cm, it comfortably holds daily essentials such as 3–5 cards, folded banknotes, and small items like a key or receipts. Smartphones will not fit.

Q: Does this piece have card slots or a coin pocket?
A: This specific item has an envelope flap with a snap button and one main compartment; it does not feature a separate zipped coin pocket or built‑in multi‑card sections.

Q: Will notes fit without folding?
A: Due to the compact width, most currencies will need to be folded once or twice to sit neatly inside.

Q: How secure is the closure for everyday use?
A: The snap‑button envelope flap provides a secure, quick‑access closure that keeps contents in place when carried in a pocket or small bag.

Q: What is the leather and how does the gold finish wear over time?
A: The wallet is crafted from crinkled, metallic‑finish leather in a gold tone. Metallic finishes are coated for durability but may show surface rub on corners or high‑friction points with frequent use. Minimising abrasion will help preserve the sheen.

Q: How should I clean and care for the metallic leather?
A: Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth after use; keep away from water, oils, alcohol gels, and direct heat or sunlight. Avoid harsh cleaners. If conditioning is needed, test a tiny hidden area first and use a neutral balm sparingly, avoiding the metallic topcoat. Store lightly stuffed in a breathable pouch and away from items that could transfer colour. Do not overfill to prevent stretching.

Q: Is the wallet unisex?
A: Yes. The minimalist envelope design and compact format suit any gender—choose based on personal style and carry needs.

Q: What is included with this item?
A: Everything included is listed under the product information section. For this piece, no extras are included.

Q: Where is it made?
A: The country of origin label states Italy.

Q: How do you authenticate this item?
A: Every piece at A Retro Tale is vetted by in‑house specialists using multi‑point checks of leather, stitching, hardware and brand markings. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell.
