A sleek option for dinner dates, gallery openings or cocktail parties, this vintage Christian Dior Saddle Bag in black elevates evening ensembles. Compact and refined, it carries the essentials, making it perfect for weddings, special events and city nights when you want iconic style without bulk.
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 this Dior Saddle Bag? A: With approximate dimensions of 20 × 16 × 3 cm, it suits compact essentials: a slim smartphone (up to around 6.1 inches), cardholder, keys, and a small lipstick or compact. A large wallet, sunglasses case or bulky power bank is unlikely to fit comfortably. Capacity depends on how you pack—please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.
Q: Can I wear it crossbody? A: This piece features a single adjustable Christian Dior jacquard strap with an approximate 28 cm drop, which is best for shoulder or handheld wear. It will sit high under the arm and is generally too short for crossbody on most heights.
Q: Is the flap closure secure? A: Yes. The bag closes with a magnetic flap, offering quick access while keeping contents secure for day-to-evening use. As with any compact bag, avoid overfilling so the magnet can align properly.
Q: Which Saddle size does this most closely resemble? A: Dior offers the Saddle in several sizes (such as Micro, Mini and Classic/Medium). Based on this item’s measurements, it aligns with the compact Mini/Small profile—ideal for evenings, events and light carry.
Q: Will my phone fit? A: Most standard-sized smartphones (around 6.1 inches) will fit without a bulky case. Larger models (e.g., Pro Max sizes) or thick cases may be tight due to the curved flap and slim 3 cm depth. When in doubt, compare your phone’s dimensions to the measurements provided.
Q: What is included with this item? A: The product information for this listing indicates that no additional items are included. Everything supplied with the bag is shown and described under the product information section and in the photos.
Q: Where is this bag made and what is the interior branding? A: This piece is made in Italy. Dior bags typically feature a leather tag inside stamped “Christian Dior PARIS” and “Made in Italy/Spain,” depending on the atelier. Placement and styling can vary by model and year.
Q: Does it have a date code or serial number? A: Many Dior bags include a date code embossed on the back of the interior leather tag; on smaller models like the Mini Saddle, it may be tucked inside a pocket. Presence of a code alone does not guarantee authenticity—materials, stitching and hardware details are also assessed.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is vetted by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, stamps and hardware, and we use a trusted third‑party authentication tool. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide additional photos or details on request.
Q: How should I care for the black grained leather? A: Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth after wear; keep away from excess moisture, oils and direct heat or prolonged sunlight. Store lightly stuffed in a breathable dust bag to maintain shape, and avoid overloading to protect the flap and strap. If needed, use a high‑quality leather conditioner sparingly on clean, dry leather and test on a discreet area first.
