Christian Dior Diorissimo Embroidered Flowers Boston Bag
Ideal for spring garden parties, daytime weddings or weekend city strolls, this vintage Diorissimo Boston bag brings a romantic note with beige canvas and floral embroidery. Carry it by the rolled handles, and rely on the top zip for easy, secure access as you pair it with light dresses, tailoring or off-duty denim.
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 can this Dior Boston bag hold day to day? A: With approximate dimensions of 28.5 × 17.5 × 9 cm, it comfortably fits a long wallet, smartphone, keys, sunglasses, a small cosmetics pouch and a compact tablet or e‑reader (around 8–10 inches). It will not accommodate a laptop and is a snug fit for A4 documents due to the top zip and rounded shape.
Q: Does it come with a shoulder strap or crossbody option? A: No. This model is designed as a handheld Boston/bowling bag with dual rolled leather top handles (approx. 10 cm drop). There are no strap attachments on this piece.
Q: Is the canvas durable and how should I care for the embroidered flowers? A: The jacquard monogram canvas is hard‑wearing, but the floral embroidery and leather trim are delicate. Avoid friction against rough surfaces, jewellery and zips; keep away from water and oils; and store stuffed in a breathable dust bag, handles upright. For light marks on canvas, gently blot with a soft, barely damp cloth and allow to air‑dry; avoid harsh cleaners and never machine‑wash. Seek a professional for deep cleaning or colour‑transfer issues.
Q: Will it fit A4 papers or a 13‑inch laptop? A: No. A4 paper (29.7 cm length) and most 13‑inch laptops exceed the bag’s length and opening. Choose slim items and smaller notebooks for best use.
Q: What does the date/serial code 02‑BO‑0065 mean? A: Dior uses a production code rather than a unique serial number. On early‑2000s pieces, a format like 02‑BO‑0065 typically shows a factory code (here “BO”) and a month‑year code where the four ending digits indicate month and year. “0065” commonly corresponds to June 2005. The code is found on the reverse of the interior leather brand tag or on a small leather tab inside a pocket.
Q: Is this pattern called Diorissimo, Trotter or Oblique? A: The repeating Dior monogram is widely referred to today as the Dior Oblique pattern, originally designed in 1967. In vintage listings, you’ll often see the same canvas described as Trotter or Diorissimo—naming varied by era and market—but they refer to the same signature monogram family on pieces like this.
Q: Is this bag considered vintage? A: Yes. With a production code reading to the mid‑2000s and the early‑Y2K styling, this is considered a vintage/pre‑loved piece rather than a current‑season model.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information section on this page. If an item (for example, dust bag, box or padlock) is not specified there, it is not included with this piece.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is vetted by in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and the production code. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can share additional photos or details on request.
