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 this coin purse? A: Based on its compact measurements (approx. 7 × 13 × 6 cm), it comfortably carries coins, folded notes, a few bank cards, a key fob, lip balm or a small lipstick, and small earbuds cases such as AirPods or an AirTag. It does not fit a modern smartphone. Capacity depends on how you pack—please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.
Q: Will standard credit or ID cards fit? A: Yes. Standard cards (85.6 × 54 mm) fit inside. If you carry several cards plus coins, the magnetic frame opening may feel snug—most users carry 2–4 cards with notes and coins for best ease of use.
Q: Can I wear it on the shoulder or crossbody? A: It features a thin leather shoulder strap for hands‑free wear. The strap on this piece measures approximately 47 cm; most people wear it on the shoulder or as a micro‑bag. Crossbody suitability depends on your build and preferred drop. The strap is fixed and not adjustable.
Q: How secure is the magnetic frame closure? A: The frame is designed to snap shut and is secure for everyday use. Avoid overfilling, which can keep the frame from closing flush and may compromise security. Very small items can work their way toward the hinge if over‑packed, so organise contents accordingly.
Q: Is the magnet safe for credit cards or electronics? A: Everyday purse magnets are not known to affect EMV‑chip cards or smartphones. Prolonged, direct contact may affect some magnetic‑stripe items such as hotel key cards or certain gift cards; if concerned, keep stripe‑side cards in a separate card holder inside the purse.
Q: What is the lining and how should I care for the leather? A: This piece has a leather exterior and leather lining. Wipe with a soft, dry cloth after use. For light marks, use a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid liquids, oils, make‑up, perfumes, direct heat/sunlight, and abrasive surfaces. Store loosely stuffed in its dust bag in a cool, dry place to help maintain shape.
Q: How do I open and close it correctly? A: Gently squeeze the top frame to open; release to let the magnets engage and close. Do not force the frame when overfull and avoid snapping it shut on hard objects to protect the hinge and leather trim.
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: Where was it made? A: The label indicates Italy.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this item? A: Every item is thoroughly vetted by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, and construction. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide additional details or photos on request.
