YSL Wallet on Chain and Mini Bags: The Small Saint Laurent Bags

The wallet on chain is the smallest way into a Saint Laurent bag: a flap wallet with card slots on a long chain. Shop mini bags at Coveti and compare them with the full bag edit.

Wallet on chain

A flap wallet with card slots and a long chain, worn across the body. It holds a phone, cards and keys.

Mini Loulou, Kate and Sac de Jour

The house makes its main bags in toy, mini and nano sizes. They hold slightly more than a wallet on chain and keep the shape of the bigger bag.

What the wallet on chain holds

Inside are card slots, a zip pocket for coins and a flat pocket for notes. The flap closes with the Cassandre on a magnet. A modern phone fits in most sizes; check the dimensions on the product page.

Day to evening

Wear it across the body in the day with a blazer and jeans, then shorten the chain and carry it as a clutch at night. It is the most versatile Saint Laurent bag for its size.

Care

Keep the chain away from perfume, store the bag flat in its dust bag and avoid overfilling the card slots, which stretches the leather.

Which one to choose

For evening, the wallet on chain. For daily use, a toy Loulou. For a structured shape, the nano Sac de Jour.
