Saint Laurent Cassandra YSL Card holder

Q: What is the Saint Laurent Cassandra YSL card holder?
A: It’s a compact Saint Laurent small leather good featuring the iconic YSL monogram hardware. Designs can vary by season—some are slot‑only card cases, others have an envelope‑style flap. Please review our photos and description to see the exact configuration of this piece.

Q: How many cards will it hold?
A: Most Saint Laurent card holders comfortably carry 4–6 standard cards plus a centre compartment for folded notes or receipts. Avoid overfilling to prevent stretching of the leather and edge‑paint wear.

Q: What are the dimensions and will it fit in a pocket?
A: Please refer to the Measurements section of this listing for exact sizing. Saint Laurent card holders are typically around 10–11 cm wide and 7–8 cm high, making them slim enough for most pockets and small bags.

Q: What materials and hardware are used?
A: Cassandra card holders are commonly crafted from calfskin (smooth, grained “Grain de Poudre”, or embossed croc) with metal YSL hardware in gold‑ or silver‑tone finishes. Exact leather type and hardware colour are shown in our photos for this item.

Q: Is it unisex and how can I use it?
A: Yes—card holders are widely used by all genders. They work as a minimalist wallet in a handbag, coat pocket or crossbody, and are ideal for travel when you only need essentials.

Q: Does it have RFID blocking?
A: Most Saint Laurent card holders do not include RFID‑blocking linings. If a specific version does, it will be clearly indicated by the manufacturer; otherwise, assume it is not RFID‑shielded.

Q: How should I clean and care for it?
A: Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth. Keep leather away from water, oils, alcohol‑based products and solvents. Use a quality neutral leather conditioner very sparingly (not on suede) and avoid prolonged sunlight or heat. Store in a dust bag, lightly filled to maintain shape, and avoid contact with materials that may transfer colour.

Q: Will the YSL logo hardware scratch or tarnish?
A: Plated metal can develop hairline scratches with regular use. Minimise contact with rough surfaces and avoid perfumes or sanitisers on the hardware. Polish gently with a soft microfibre cloth; do not use abrasive cleaners.

Q: Is there a serial/style code and how is authenticity verified?
A: Saint Laurent small leather goods typically feature an interior brand stamp and an internal serial/style number. A Retro Tale authenticates every item through rigorous multi‑point checks by in‑house experts and trusted partners—codes alone are not the sole indicator of authenticity.

Q: Where is it made and does it come with original accessories?
A: Many Saint Laurent card holders are made in Italy; the interior stamp indicates the country of origin for each piece. Pre‑owned items include only what’s shown or stated—please check the Accessories section and photos to see exactly what is included.
