Perfect for evenings, parties and weekend getaways, this compact Balenciaga wallet slips easily into mini bags and pockets, while its metallic pink finish adds a playful flash of colour as you carry only the essentials.
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 Balenciaga Paper Mini Wallet? A: Despite its compact size (approx. 10 × 7 × 2.8 cm), it comfortably holds three essential cards in the dedicated slots, a small stack of folded notes in the bill compartment, and a few coins in the snapped coin pocket. A receipt or two can be tucked behind the card slots if needed. Capacity varies by how you pack—avoid overstuffing to maintain its shape.
Q: Will banknotes fit without folding? A: Most major currencies (GBP, EUR, USD) will need to be folded once due to the wallet’s width. The bill compartment is designed for folded notes; flat storage of longer notes is not possible in this mini format.
Q: Does this model include RFID blocking? A: The Papier/Paper Mini Wallet is not advertised with RFID-blocking layers. If RFID shielding is important to you, consider using a separate RFID card or sleeve inside the wallet.
Q: How secure is the closure for coins and cash? A: The envelope flap closes with a snap button and the coin pocket also has a snap, helping keep coins and folded notes secure during daily use. As with any compact wallet, avoid overfilling so the snaps close cleanly.
Q: What are the key features of this specific piece? A: Metallic pink crinkled leather with silver-tone hardware, an envelope flap with snap button, black fabric and pink leather lining, one bill compartment, one coin pocket, and three card slots. Made in Italy.
Q: How does metallic crinkled leather wear over time? A: Metallic and foil-effect leathers can show corner rubbing and fine surface marks more readily than smooth matte leathers, especially with friction against denim or rough textiles. This is normal patina for the finish; rotating use and mindful storage will minimise visible wear.
Q: How should I care for and clean it? A: Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth after use. Keep away from moisture, oils, alcohol-based sanitisers, and dyed fabrics that may cause colour transfer. Do not over-condition or use harsh cleaners on metallic-finish leather; if deeper cleaning is required, consult a leather-care professional. Store lightly filled in its dust bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or heat.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information on this page. For this piece, a dust bag is included.
Q: What is the condition of this pre-loved wallet? A: Very Good overall with light signs of use externally, a stain inside the coin pocket, and hardware that remains shiny with light scratches. Please review the photos for close-up details.
Q: Will it fit in small bags or coat pockets? A: Yes—its mini footprint is designed to slip into most small handbags and coat pockets while still carrying daily essentials.
