Ideal for evenings when you travel light, this Balenciaga Le Cagole coin purse moves effortlessly from cocktail hour to gigs and gallery openings. Dark grey croc-embossed leather and silver-tone crystal studs add an edgy polish, while the wristlet keeps essentials close at hand.
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 Le Cagole Coin Purse? A: With approximate measurements of 11 × 8 × 0.5 cm, it comfortably holds coins, 4–6 cards, and folded notes. Many users also store a key, a lipstick or compact earbuds depending on case size. Capacity varies by how you pack—please refer to the Measurements on this page and our photos for guidance.
Q: Does it have internal card slots? A: No. This design has one main compartment with a top zip closure and one exterior zipped pocket for quick-access small items.
Q: Is the wristlet strap removable? A: The coin purse features a single wristlet strap with an approximate 14 cm drop. It is intended for hand or wrist carry and is not designed to be detached; you can tuck it inside the pouch if preferred.
Q: What is the material and hardware on this piece? A: This piece is crafted from dark grey crocodile-embossed leather with silver-tone hardware and crystal studs, lined in black fabric. The textured leather and studded details are part of Balenciaga’s Le Cagole signature look.
Q: How should I care for crocodile-embossed leather and crystal-studded hardware? A: Wipe leather gently with a soft, dry cloth and occasionally use a very lightly dampened cloth to lift dust from the embossed grooves. Avoid oils, alcohol-based products, coloured balms, and prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, heat, or moisture. For the crystals and metal studs, use a soft lint-free cloth only; avoid abrasives and snagging against rough surfaces. Store loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag, away from humidity and pressure that could flatten the embossing or stress the hardware.
Q: Is this coin purse made in Italy? A: Yes. The country of origin label indicates Italy.
Q: Can I personalise it with initials? A: A Retro Tale does not offer personalisation on pre-owned items. Some retailers offer embossing on new Le Cagole coin purses; this does not apply to this authenticated, pre-owned piece.
Q: What accessories are included with this item? A: This listing is sold as seen with no accessories. Everything included is always listed under the Accessories section; if an item such as a dust bag or box isn’t listed, it is not included.
Q: How do you authenticate this piece? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully examined by our in-house experts using multi-point checks across materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, and construction. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and are happy to provide additional photos or details on request.
