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 Street Chic Messenger Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 35 × 30 × 10 cm, it comfortably holds A4 documents, a 13-inch laptop in a slim sleeve, a tablet, a long wallet, phone, keys and daily essentials. Capacity depends on how you pack and the size of your device; please compare your device’s dimensions with the bag’s opening.
Q: Can I wear it crossbody? A: Yes. It has a single adjustable shoulder strap with an approximate drop of 46 cm, allowing shoulder or crossbody wear depending on your height and preferred drop. Adjust to suit and try against your body measurements for the best fit.
Q: What is the material and how should I care for it? A: The exterior is Dior Trotter (Oblique) jacquard canvas with dark brown leather trim and silver-tone hardware. For canvas, gently brush away dust, then wipe lightly with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap if needed; avoid soaking. For leather trim, wipe dry and condition sparingly with a neutral leather conditioner. Keep away from heat and prolonged direct sunlight, and allow any moisture to air-dry naturally.
Q: Is this bag from the early 2000s era? A: The Street Chic models featuring Trotter/Oblique canvas are widely associated with the John Galliano era at Dior in the early-to-mid 2000s. Exact year of an individual bag depends on its internal date code and production details.
Q: Where is the Dior date code and what does it look like? A: Dior bags typically have a leather tag inside stamped “Christian Dior Paris” with “Made in Italy” or “Made in Spain”; the date code is often found on the reverse of that tag or on a small interior tab. Codes are alphanumeric and indicate factory and production period. Variations exist by year, so the code format can differ slightly across models and eras.
Q: How do you authenticate this item? A: Every piece at A Retro Tale is vetted by our in-house experts via multi‑point checks of canvas weave, leather quality, stitching, stamps, date code, lining, and hardware finishes. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can share additional photos or details on request.
Q: What is included with this purchase? A: Everything included is listed in the product information on this page. Unless stated there, no additional items are included with this piece.
Q: Is this style unisex? A: Yes. The messenger silhouette and Oblique monogram are worn by all genders. The adjustable strap makes it easy to tailor the carry to your frame.
Q: What signs of wear should I expect on this specific bag? A: Overall condition is noted as Good. There is scuffing on the leather trim, fraying on the strap, light interior signs of use, and scratches/dulling on the hardware. Please review the photos and condition notes to understand the exact state before purchase.
