The dual top handles and top zip keep essentials to hand and secure, while its gold‑tone accents add polish to casual outfits from brunch to day trips.
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 Dior Denim Boston Bag? A: With measurements of approximately 40 × 22 × 18 cm, this Boston silhouette comfortably carries daily essentials: large smartphone, continental wallet, keys, slim sunglasses case, cosmetics pouch, a small water bottle and an A5 diary. A4 documents (29.7 × 21 cm) usually fit flat. An 11‑inch tablet fits easily; a 13‑inch laptop may fit horizontally without a bulky sleeve, but the curved zip opening and semi‑structured shape make it a snug carry—ask us if you’d like a tailored fit check for this exact piece.
Q: Can I wear it on the shoulder or crossbody? A: This model is designed primarily for hand or crook‑of‑arm carry. The dual rolled leather handles have an approximate 10 cm drop, and there is no long strap included, so it isn’t intended for crossbody wear.
Q: How secure is the closure and what is the interior layout? A: It features a top zip closure for everyday security and a black nylon lining with one internal zipped pocket to organise valuables. For commuting or travel, we recommend keeping the bag upright and using the interior zip pocket for smaller items.
Q: What accessories are included with this specific item? A: This listing includes a padlock and keys (as shown/mentioned under “Accessories”). If an accessory isn’t listed there, it isn’t included—please contact us if you’d like us to confirm.
Q: How do the padlock and keys work on a Dior Boston bag? A: Many Dior Boston zips have eyelets on the pulls; you can pass the padlock shackle through these to secure the two pulls together. On some vintage variations the padlock is primarily decorative. For best results, align the zip pulls fully closed before locking and avoid forcing the shackle to prevent stress to the hardware.
Q: Is the Dior Boston Bag still in production? A: Most denim Boston styles are vintage or pre‑loved releases and are not part of Dior’s current core line‑up. Availability today is mainly via the resale market, where different colours and trims appear by season and year.
Q: Where is the Dior date/production code and how do I read it? A: Authentic Dior bags typically have a leather interior tag stamped “Christian Dior PARIS” and the country of origin (e.g., Italy). The production/date code is often found on the reverse of this tag or along an interior seam and follows a factory‑plus‑date format with letters and numbers (commonly including month and year, e.g., MA‑0959). Placement and format can vary by era; we’re happy to provide close‑up photos and help interpret the code for this exact piece.
Q: How should I care for the denim canvas and leather trim? A: Keep the bag away from heavy rain and prolonged sunlight; be mindful of colour transfer from dark denim or dyed fabrics. Dust the denim gently with a soft brush; for light marks, blot (don’t rub) with a barely damp cloth and allow to air‑dry away from heat. Condition the leather trim sparingly with a high‑quality neutral product after testing on a discreet area. Store upright, lightly stuffed, in a breathable dust bag, and protect hardware from rubbing to minimise hairline scratches.
Q: Can colour transfer occur with denim—either onto or from the bag? A: Yes—denim can both receive and cause colour transfer. To minimise risk, avoid prolonged friction against dark, non‑colourfast garments, keep the bag dry (moisture increases transfer), and consider a light, fabric‑safe protector if desired (always test first). If transfer occurs, consult a luxury leather/fabric care specialist rather than using harsh cleaners.
Q: What condition is this specific piece in and how do you authenticate it? A: This item is in Very Good condition with light traces of use; the hardware is shiny with light scratches. Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, logo stamps, date/production codes and overall construction. We stand behind the authenticity of every piece we sell.
