Perfect for cocktail parties and summer weddings, the Saint Laurent Cassandre clutch adds a bold pop of colour in yellow patent leather. With a sleek magnetic flap and black satin-lined interior for your evening essentials, this vintage piece lends effortless glamour to any after-dark look.
Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.
Q: What typically fits inside the Saint Laurent Cassandre Clutch? A: With approximate capacity based on its 28 × 16 × 4.5 cm size, it holds a large smartphone, slim cardholder or small wallet, keys, lipstick, and a few small essentials. Bulky items like water bottles or thick sunglasses cases will not fit comfortably.
Q: Will it fit an iPhone Pro Max–sized phone? A: Yes, most large smartphones of that size fit. For ease of closing the flap, use a slim case and place the phone horizontally or screen-inwards to reduce pressure on the magnet and lining.
Q: Does this Cassandre clutch come with a strap, or can I add one? A: This vintage Cassandre clutch is designed to be handheld with a magnetic flap and no built-in D-rings. Other Cassandre variants are sold with chains, but third-party clip-on chains can stress the flap and are not recommended.
Q: How secure is the magnetic closure, and can it affect credit cards or phones? A: The concealed magnet keeps the flap neatly closed for normal use. Modern EMV-chip cards are generally unaffected, but magnetic stripes can be compromised by prolonged direct contact. Store cards in a cardholder away from the closure; phones are fine with typical handbag magnets when not placed directly against them.
Q: What is the interior like? A: The clutch is lined in black satin with a single main compartment, ideal for pared-back evening essentials.
Q: How should I care for the patent leather? A: Wipe with a soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth and buff dry. Avoid alcohol, acetone, oil-based cleaners, and standard leather conditioners. Keep away from heat and direct sunlight to minimise stickiness, and store in its breathable dust bag with tissue to prevent impressions.
Q: Is colour transfer a risk with yellow patent leather? A: Yes. Patent finishes can pick up dye from dark denim and other unsealed textiles. Avoid prolonged rubbing against such materials and store the clutch separately from other leathers to prevent transfer.
Q: Is the clutch water-resistant? A: The patent coating offers some resistance to light moisture, but it is not waterproof. If it becomes wet, blot gently and allow it to air dry away from heat sources.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under product information. For this piece, a dust bag and an authenticity card are included.
Q: How is authenticity ensured? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is vetted by in-house experts using multi-point checks of materials, stitching, stamps and hardware, cross-referenced with brand references. Authenticity cards can accompany genuine items but are not definitive proof on their own; we guarantee the authenticity of all items we sell.
