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 Envelope Wallet On Chain? A: With approximate dimensions of 22 × 14 × 3 cm, it comfortably holds a large smartphone (including most Pro Max-sized models with a slim case), a slim key holder, lipstick and small essentials. Capacity depends on how you pack—avoid overfilling to keep the flap and snap closure neat.
Q: Is the chain strap detachable and how can I wear it? A: Yes, the chain strap is detachable on this model. Wear it crossbody, on the shoulder, or remove the strap to carry it as a clutch. The strap drop on this specific piece is approximately 48 cm; small variations can occur between production runs.
Q: Is the chain length adjustable? A: The chain is not adjustable from the factory. You can shorten the carry by tucking a section of chain inside for shoulder wear; avoid excessive tucking to prevent marks on the leather. The strap is fully detachable if you prefer a clutch look.
Q: How is the interior organised? A: Envelope chain wallets typically include six card slots, one zipped coin pocket, one bill slip and a main compartment. Layouts can vary slightly by collection and year; this piece has multiple card slots and one zipped pocket as shown in the photos.
Q: Will it fit an iPhone Pro Max or a passport? A: Yes, it fits most Pro Max-sized phones and a standard passport. Very bulky phone cases may make the snap closure tight—using a slim case is best.
Q: What type of leather is grain de poudre and how does it wear? A: Grain de poudre is a textured, grained calfskin noted for its structured feel and resistance to light scratches compared with smooth leathers. It maintains its shape well with considerate use and is a popular choice for day-to-evening wear.
Q: Does it have a magnetic or snap closure? A: This style uses a snap-button closure beneath the envelope flap, helping the bag keep a crisp profile when closed.
Q: Any care and storage tips? A: Wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Keep away from oils, hand sanitiser, dyed fabrics and prolonged direct sunlight or heat. Do not overfill. When storing, lightly stuff the bag, place the chain in a soft pouch to avoid imprints, and keep it in a breathable dust bag in an upright position.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under product information. For this piece, a dust bag is included.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag and where was it made? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully authenticated by in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, stamps, hardware and production codes. The country of origin label for this item is France.
