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 in the Christian Dior Trotter Bag? A: With measurements of approximately 30 × 19 × 9 cm, it comfortably holds a long wallet, smartphone, keys, a small cosmetics pouch, a compact umbrella and a 500 ml bottle. It can accommodate most tablets up to around 11 inches, but it is not ideal for A4 documents or a 13-inch laptop due to the 19 cm height.
Q: Is the Trotter pattern the same as Dior Oblique? A: Yes—Trotter is a commonly used vintage-market name for Dior’s iconic monogram. Dior officially refers to the motif as Dior Oblique, a jacquard weave first introduced in the late 1960s and still used across today’s collections.
Q: What is the material like and is it water-resistant? A: Dior’s Oblique/Trotter monogram is traditionally executed as a jacquard canvas. Jacquard behaves like fabric rather than plastic-coated canvas, so it is not fully water-resistant. Light rain is usually fine, but we recommend avoiding heavy downpours and wiping the surface dry promptly.
Q: How should I care for this vintage Dior canvas and leather trim? A: For the canvas, wipe gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth and a tiny amount of mild soap, then wipe again with plain water and let air-dry. For the leather trim, use a neutral leather conditioner sparingly after patch-testing. Keep away from oils, alcohol-based sanitisers and prolonged direct sunlight. Store stuffed to maintain shape, in a breathable dust bag, and avoid colour transfer from dark denim.
Q: Where can I find the date code/serial, and what if there isn’t one? A: On many late-1990s and 2000s Dior bags, the production code is heat-stamped on the reverse of the interior leather tag. Earlier vintage pieces or certain small goods may not have a code, and absence alone does not indicate inauthenticity. If you’d like us to re-check or provide macro photos, just ask.
Q: Are the straps adjustable or detachable? A: This model has dual flat shoulder straps designed for hand or shoulder carry. They are not adjustable or detachable. The drop is approximately 15 cm, which sits neatly under the arm; it is not intended for crossbody wear.
Q: What signs of wear should I expect on this specific item? A: Overall very good vintage condition with honest signs of use: light scratches to the leather, some edge wear on the straps, light interior wear and faint scratches inside. Hardware is shiny with light hairline marks—please review the photos for details.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information section. For this item, no additional pieces are included.
Q: Where was this bag made? A: This piece is labelled Made in Italy. Dior bags have historically been produced in Italy and Spain (and some older vintage in France), so Italian origin is consistent for the era.
