Q: What typically fits inside the Loulou Matelassé Pouch? A: With approximate measurements of 15 × 13 × 2 cm, it’s ideal for a passport, slim card holder, keys, lipstick and wireless earbuds. Most large smartphones exceed the width and will not fit; please measure your device against the dimensions on this page.
Q: Does this pouch come with a strap or wristlet? A: This piece is a handheld zip pouch with a top zip closure and no strap. Some Saint Laurent pouches are produced with chains or wristlets, but if it isn’t listed in the product information on this page, it isn’t included with this item.
Q: What does “matelassé” mean on Saint Laurent leather goods? A: Matelassé refers to the padded, quilted leather with chevron topstitching seen across the Loulou line. It gives a soft, cushioned look while helping the pouch hold its shape. [Sources consulted]
Q: How should I care for this pouch day to day? A: Wipe the leather with a soft, dry cloth after use; avoid contact with liquids, hand sanitiser, perfume and denim/dark textiles that may cause colour transfer. Store lightly filled in a breathable dust bag, away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not overfill, and avoid creams or polishes unless recommended by a leather specialist.
Q: Will the silver-toned hardware scratch or tarnish? A: Hairline scratches are normal with use. To minimise wear, avoid rubbing against abrasive surfaces and contact with lotions or sanitisers; gently buff with a soft cloth only. Some users report hardware dulling over time on Saint Laurent pieces, which is considered normal wear. [Sources consulted]
Q: Where can I find the serial number/date code and what should it look like? A: Saint Laurent places a serial number on the reverse of the interior leather brand tab on most styles. The format varies by era; many vintage pieces show a 12‑digit code with a dot, while newer examples can include letters followed by digits. If you’d like help locating or interpreting it, our team can assist. [Sources consulted]
Q: How does this pouch differ from the Loulou shoulder bag? A: The pouch is a slim, flat zip style designed for essentials or to use as an organiser inside a larger bag. The Loulou shoulder bag is a flap design with a sliding chain strap and interior compartments. [Sources consulted]
Q: Is this item authentic? A: Yes. Every piece at A Retro Tale undergoes a rigorous, multi‑point authentication by our in‑house experts, including checks of materials, stitching, hardware and stamps. We stand behind the authenticity of all items and can share additional photos or details on request.
Q: What is included with this piece? A: This item comes with a box, as noted in the product information section on this page. If an item isn’t listed there, it is not included—feel free to contact us if you need clarification.
