Q: What typically fits inside this Christian Dior Large Book Tote Bag? A: With measurements of approximately 42 x 34 x 18 cm, this is a roomy everyday tote. It can comfortably hold daily essentials such as a wallet, phone, sunglasses, a notebook, cosmetics pouch and other larger items. Based on the size, it should fit many laptops up to around 15 inches, but we recommend checking your device measurements for the best fit.
Q: Can this bag be carried on the shoulder? A: Yes, many customers should be able to carry it on the shoulder thanks to the dual handles and approximate 18 cm handle drop. It can also be carried by hand. Fit will vary depending on your frame and what you are wearing.
Q: Does this bag come with a shoulder strap? A: No, this specific item is not listed with a shoulder strap. It features dual top handles only.
Q: Does it have a zip closure or internal pockets? A: No, this particular bag has an open top and a tonal suede lining with one main compartment. If you prefer extra organisation, a pouch or organiser insert can be helpful.
Q: Is the Large Book Tote a good choice for work or travel? A: Yes, the large size is a popular choice for work, day trips and travel because it offers generous space for larger essentials. Do keep in mind that, like most open totes, it can feel heavier and bulkier when fully packed.
Q: What material is this specific bag made from? A: According to the product information, this piece is crafted in black leather with a tonal suede lining and is made in Italy.

Q: How should I care for this bag? A: To keep it looking its best, avoid overfilling and prolonged exposure to rain, direct heat or strong sunlight. Wipe the leather gently with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth, and avoid harsh cleaners or wipes. The suede lining should be treated gently and cleaned professionally if needed. When not in use, store the bag in its dust bag with light stuffing to help maintain its shape.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully checked by specialists before sale. This bag also comes with an authenticity card, and the listed details, materials, construction and overall finish are reviewed as part of the authentication process.
