Q: What typically fits inside this Honeycomb Crossbody Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 25 × 18 × 6 cm, it comfortably holds a long wallet, smartphone, keys, compact, sunglasses in a soft pouch, and a small e‑reader or iPad mini. It is not intended for full‑size tablets or water bottles.
Q: Is the strap adjustable and what is the drop? A: This piece has a single flat strap that is not adjustable. The strap drop is approximately 51 cm, allowing comfortable crossbody or on‑shoulder wear.
Q: What are the materials used in Honeycomb bags like this one? A: Honeycomb models are typically crafted from coated canvas with smooth leather trim and gold‑tone hardware. This bag features beige honeycomb canvas, tan leather trim and a magnetic snap closure—durable and lightweight for daily use.
Q: Which era is the Honeycomb pattern associated with? A: The Honeycomb monogram was widely produced on Dior bags in the late 1980s to 1990s, with many authenticated examples from this period. It sits alongside Dior’s other heritage motifs from the Marc Bohan era.
Q: Is Honeycomb the same as the Trotter/Oblique pattern? A: No. The Trotter/Oblique motif is the diagonal Dior logotype introduced in 1967, whereas Honeycomb is a hexagonal monogram seen later, especially on 1980s–1990s pieces. The two patterns are distinct in look and era.
Q: Where can I find and how do I read the date code on a vintage Dior bag? A: Many vintage Dior bags have a leather logo tag inside; when present, the date code is often stamped on the reverse of that tag or along an interior seam. Dior codes vary by era. On more recent items, a common format is two digits, two letters, and four digits, where the letters denote the factory and the digits indicate month and year. Vintage formats can differ and may be shorter.
Q: How should I care for the coated canvas and leather trim? A: Wipe the canvas gently with a soft cloth slightly dampened with lukewarm water and a tiny drop of mild soap; then wipe with a clean damp cloth and air‑dry. Avoid harsh chemicals and soaking. Nourish the leather trim sparingly with a suitable leather conditioner, keep the bag stuffed when stored, and avoid prolonged direct sunlight or heat.
Q: What is included with this item? A: As listed under product information, no extras are included unless specifically stated. Please refer to the product information on this page for everything that comes with the bag.
Q: What is the condition of this piece? A: Overall condition is good. There are scuff marks and rubbing on the leather trim, the lining shows some stains and scratches, and the gold‑tone hardware has surface scratches and dullness. Please review the photos for full details.
