FAQs

What are the exact dimensions of the wallet?

The wallet's dimensions are not specified in the product description, but it is designed in an 'East/West' orientation for a compact, flat profile.

How many cards can realistically fit?

It features eight dedicated card slots. While it can hold one card per slot comfortably, some users may be able to fit a second thinner card in some slots, though this may stretch the leather over time.

Is the YSL logo purely decorative or functional?

The YSL Cassandre logo is a decorative emblem and does not serve a functional purpose for opening or closing the wallet.

What type of leather is used?

The product description states it is made of leather, implying a high-quality, premium material typical of Saint Laurent accessories. Specific leather type (e.g., calfskin) is not detailed.

Does it come with a dust bag?

While not explicitly stated, luxury accessories like this from Saint Laurent typically come with a branded dust bag for protection and storage.

Can I fit coins in this wallet?

This wallet is primarily designed for cards and bills. It does not have a dedicated coin pouch, so storing coins would be limited to tucking them into the bill compartments, which may add bulk.

Is the black color prone to fading?

High-quality dyed leather is generally resistant to fading. However, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or extreme heat should be avoided to maintain the color's integrity.

Troubleshooting

Zipper or snap closure is stiff

Gently work the closure back and forth. If it persists, a small amount of leather balm applied to the track (for zippers) might help. Avoid forcing it.

Scuff marks on the leather

For minor scuffs, try buffing gently with a soft cloth. For deeper marks, use a leather conditioner or a specialized leather repair product designed for black leather, following the product instructions.

Card slots feel too tight

Carefully insert cards and leave them in the slots for a few days to allow the leather to slightly stretch. Avoid overstuffing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: As a wallet, there is no electronic setup required. Simply unfold and begin to organize your cards and currency.

Compatibility: This wallet is designed to be compatible with standard-sized cards (credit cards, ID cards) and most global currencies when folded. Its compact size makes it compatible with a wide range of handbags, clutches, and pockets.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Gently wipe the wallet with a soft, dry, or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the leather.
  2. Storage: When not in use, store the wallet in its original dust bag or a soft pouch to protect it from scratches and dust. Keep it away from direct sunlight and heat to prevent fading or drying of the leather.
  3. Conditioning: Periodically condition the leather with a high-quality leather conditioner to maintain its suppleness and prevent cracking. Test any conditioner on an inconspicuous area first.
  4. Water Resistance: This wallet is not waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture. If it gets wet, pat it dry immediately with a clean cloth and let it air dry naturally.
