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 Oblique Safari Bag? A: With dimensions of approximately 23 × 15 × 5 cm, this compact messenger bag is designed for daily essentials. It comfortably holds a large smartphone (such as a Pro/Max model), a wallet or cardholder, keys, earphones and sunglasses. It is generally too small for tablets or standard water bottles. Please refer to the Measurements section on this page or contact us if you need a tailored fit check.
Q: Is the shoulder strap adjustable and detachable? A: Yes, this model features a signature ‘Christian Dior’ jacquard shoulder strap with black leather trim. It is both detachable and adjustable, allowing for comfortable crossbody or shoulder wear. The strap typically has a generous drop length suitable for most heights; check the Measurements section for details on this specific piece.
Q: Is this bag considered unisex? A: While the Safari Messenger Bag is a staple of the Dior Men’s collections (famously reinvigorated by Kim Jones), its functional camera-bag silhouette and iconic Oblique pattern have made it a widely popular unisex choice for anyone seeking stylish, hands-free ease.
Q: How secure is the closure and how is the interior organised? A: The bag features a secure top zip closure to keep your belongings safe. For organisation, there is a convenient zipped pocket on the front exterior—ideal for travel passes or a phone. The interior typically features a main compartment lined in durable black canvas, keeping the bag lightweight.
Q: What materials is this bag made from? A: This piece is crafted from beige and black Dior Oblique jacquard canvas—a woven material first introduced in 1967—accented with black grained calfskin leather details and silver-tone hardware. The lining is a practical black textile.
Q: How should I care for the Oblique canvas? A: Dior Oblique jacquard is durable but should be kept away from abrasive surfaces, moisture and oils to prevent pulling the weave or staining. Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth if needed. Store the bag upright in a breathable dust bag and avoid overstuffing to maintain its rectangular structure.
Q: Where are the brand markings located? A: Authentic Dior Safari bags typically feature a heat stamp inside reading “Christian Dior” with “Paris” and “Made in Italy” (or occasionally Spain) below. The front exterior usually bears a metal “Dior” signature. This specific piece is made in Italy.
Q: What accessories are included with this item? A: Any included items are listed under “Accessories.” For this piece, we note: brand booklets, authenticity card and the detachable shoulder strap. If an accessory isn’t mentioned there, it isn’t included—feel free to contact us to confirm.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by our in-house experts using multi-point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, and overall construction. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide additional details on request.
