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 are the dimensions and layout of the Cassandre card holder? A: Approximately 10.5 × 7.5 × 0.5 cm. It features four exterior card slots and one central slip pocket with a black lining, finished with chevron matelassé quilting and the Cassandre logo.
Q: How many cards fit comfortably? A: 4–6 cards comfortably (one per outer slot and a couple in the centre). The leather is firm at first and softens slightly with use; some owners later double up slots, but overfilling can stretch the leather over time.
Q: Can it hold cash or coins? A: Folded banknotes can go in the central slip pocket. Coins are not recommended as this slim model has no zipped compartment.
Q: What is the leather and hardware, and where is it made? A: Grained calfskin leather with quilted topstitching and silver-tone hardware; typically made in Italy.
Q: Is there RFID protection? A: This model does not include RFID‑shielding. Saint Laurent does not list RFID‑blocking lining for the Cassandre card case; if RFID protection is important, consider a separate RFID sleeve for your cards.
Q: Will the light ecru colour mark easily? Any care tips? A: Light leathers can be prone to colour transfer from dark denim and dyed fabrics. Keep away from liquids, oils, perfumes and hand sanitiser; wipe with a soft, dry cloth; store in its dust bag and avoid overfilling to maintain shape.
Q: Will cards slip out? Are the slots tight at first? A: The slots are snug when new and loosen slightly with use. Cards should sit securely; for the first few days, limit to one card per slot to avoid overstretching.
Q: Will it fit in a front pocket, and is it suitable for any gender? A: Yes. With its compact dimensions and slim profile, it fits most front or back pockets, and the minimalist design works for anyone.
Q: What comes with this pre‑owned piece and what is its condition? A: It comes with a box and dust bag. Condition is good overall with scuffed corners and some discolouration on the exterior; the lining shows stains and signs of use—please review the photos for details.
Q: Does the central pocket have a specific lining colour? A: Yes, this piece has a black lining in the central slip pocket.
