Christian DiorDouble Saddle Bag

Q: What are the measurements and what does it fit day to day?
A: Approx. 26 × 14 × 5 cm. It comfortably holds a smartphone (including most models up to around 6.7 inches in a slim case), a compact wallet or card holder, keys, lipstick and small essentials. Slim sunglasses can fit in a soft pouch; bulkier items, bottles or tablets will be a tight squeeze.

Q: Can this be worn crossbody or is it a shoulder bag?
A: This vintage Double Saddle is primarily designed for the shoulder. The strap is adjustable to about 51 cm, which allows you to fine‑tune the drop; some customers can wear it high and close to the body crossbody depending on build and preference, but it is best regarded as a shoulder style.

Q: What closures and pockets does it have?
A: It features one main compartment with a secure zip closure and an additional exterior pocket for quick‑access items. Please see the product photos for the exact layout.

Q: What is the material and how should I care for it?
A: The exterior is Dior Oblique jacquard canvas with dark blue leather trim and gold‑tone hardware. Keep the canvas dry; remove surface dust with a soft brush or lint roller and spot‑clean very lightly with a barely damp, lint‑free cloth. Avoid soaking or harsh chemicals. Nourish the leather trim sparingly with a neutral leather conditioner, keep away from colour‑transfer (e.g., dark denim), and store the bag lightly stuffed in a breathable dust bag to maintain its shape.

Q: Is this a vintage piece and when was the Dior Saddle introduced?
A: Yes—this is a vintage variant. The Saddle was designed by John Galliano and debuted for Spring/Summer 2000, later revived in the late 2010s, which is why Y2K‑era versions like this are so sought after.

Q: Where can I find the Dior date code and what should it look like?
A: Many vintage Dior bags have a heat‑stamped leather tag inside with a date code (letters and numbers). The location and format vary by year and model, commonly inside a pocket. Codes alone are not definitive—overall materials, stitching and hardware must also be assessed.

Q: What is included with this item?
A: Everything included is listed under product information on this page. This piece is currently offered without additional items unless explicitly stated there.

Q: Where was this bag made?
A: The country of origin label indicates Italy.

Q: What is the condition of the hardware and fabric?
A: Overall very good vintage condition with light signs of use. The hardware remains shiny with light scratches, and the interior and exterior show gentle wear consistent with the description and photos.
