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 can this tote comfortably hold day to day? A: With approximate measurements of 35 × 20 × 16 cm, it fits an A5 diary, an 11-inch tablet, long wallet, sunglasses case, compact umbrella and a small water bottle, plus bits in the two front flap pockets. Capacity varies with how you pack—please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact sizing.
Q: Can I carry it on the shoulder? A: Yes. The handle drop is around 18 cm, so most will find it comfortable on the shoulder over light layers, as well as in the hand or crook of the arm.
Q: What are the key features of this model? A: Black Trotter (Oblique) jacquard canvas with black leather trim, silver‑tone hardware, dual rolled top handles, two front flap pockets, top zip closure and a black fabric interior with one zipped pocket. It is a vintage piece.
Q: Is “Trotter” the same as “Oblique” print? A: Yes—Trotter is a commonly used name for Dior’s Oblique monogram, first introduced under Marc Bohan in the late 1960s and widely revived in the late 1990s/early 2000s. The pattern is woven in jacquard on most vintage pieces, giving a durable yet refined texture.
Q: Will it fit a laptop? A: A 13-inch laptop is generally too tall for the 20 cm height and won’t zip comfortably. Slim tablets up to about 11 inches fit well; smaller notebooks and e‑readers also fit easily.
Q: How should I care for the canvas and leather trim? A: Start with a soft, dry microfiber cloth or a soft brush to lift surface dust. For marks, lightly dab (do not rub) with a barely damp cloth and a drop of mild soap, testing on a hidden area first. Avoid soaking the jacquard, harsh chemicals and colour-transfer from dark denim. Nourish only the leather trim with a suitable conditioner. Allow to air dry away from heat and sunlight.
Q: Is the bag water‑resistant? A: Jacquard canvas is resilient but not waterproof. In light rain, gently blot rather than wipe; in heavy rain, avoid exposure. If it gets wet, stuff lightly with clean tissue to help it keep shape and let it dry naturally.
Q: Does this piece have a serial/date code and where would it be? A: Many vintage Dior bags have a leather tag inside with a heat‑stamp; the date code is usually on the reverse with letters for the factory and numbers for month and year. Some older pieces may have a worn or missing code—this alone isn’t a definitive authenticity indicator. Every item at A Retro Tale is authenticated through multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, stamps and hardware.
Q: What is included with this listing? A: Only the bag is included. Everything that comes with the item is listed under product information; if an item like a dust bag or card isn’t listed there, it is not included.
Q: What is the condition like in person? A: Overall good vintage condition. There is a small stain on the canvas and light wear to the leather corners; the hardware remains shiny with light scratches. The interior shows light signs of use. Please review all photos for the most accurate view.
