Very Good Condition
This vintage Christian Dior Detective satchel in black pebbled leather with silver-tone hardware offers a polished everyday look. In very good condition, it features dual leather top handles, a top zip closure, and a tonal monogram-lined interior with one pocket. Ideal for city days or casual evening plans, it brings classic Dior style to daily wear.
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 Christian Dior Detective Frame Satchel Bag? A: With measurements of approximately 37 × 15 × 14 cm, this satchel is best suited to daily essentials such as a long wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses case, cosmetics pouch and a small notebook. Its structured frame gives it a neat shape, but it is not a large work bag and is unlikely to suit most laptops.
Q: Is this Dior Detective bag suitable for everyday use? A: Yes. The Detective line is known for its structured satchel shape, practical top opening and polished day-to-evening look, which makes it a strong everyday vintage option if you prefer a compact, organised bag rather than an oversized tote.
Q: Can this bag be worn on the shoulder? A: This piece features dual leather top handles rather than a detachable shoulder strap. It is primarily designed to be carried by hand or in the crook of the arm. Depending on personal fit and outerwear, some may find it sits close to the shoulder, but it is best thought of as a top-handle satchel.
Q: Does the frame construction make the bag easier to use? A: Yes. One of the key appeals of the Detective style is its structured frame silhouette, which helps the bag hold its shape and makes the opening feel more accessible when reaching for essentials. It offers a polished look while still being practical for daily organisation.
Q: What is the condition of this specific bag? A: This bag is in very good vintage condition. The exterior shows light traces of use with some stains and a vintage smell. The interior has a small mark, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches. As with all vintage pieces, minor signs of age are normal and form part of the bag’s character.
Q: Does this item come with any extras? A: No. This listing is sold with no accessories. If an authenticity card, dust bag, box or strap is not listed in the product information, it is not included with this piece.
Q: How should I care for black pebbled leather on a vintage Dior bag? A: Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, ideally lightly stuffed to help maintain its shape. Wipe the leather gently with a soft dry or slightly damp cloth, and avoid over-conditioning, harsh cleaners or prolonged moisture. Because this is a vintage item, gentle handling is recommended to preserve both the leather and hardware finish.
Q: Is a vintage smell normal in older leather bags? A: It can be. Pre-owned and vintage leather bags sometimes develop a storage-related scent over time. This listing notes a vintage smell, so buyers should expect some odour on arrival. Airing the bag out carefully in a dry room and storing it with acid-free tissue can help, but scent sensitivity varies from person to person.
Q: How do you authenticate a vintage Dior bag like this? A: Authenticity is assessed through a combination of construction details such as leather quality, stitching, hardware, lining, stamps or labels, and overall craftsmanship. For vintage Dior, collectors also often look for interior date or serial markings when present. At A Retro Tale, items are vetted by experts before being offered for sale.
