Ideal for refined day-to-night plans—think coffee meetings, gallery visits and dinner—this black Cannage denim Lady Dior brings effortless polish. Carry by the patent top handles for a chic lunch, or switch to the detachable shoulder strap for hands‑free evening strolls. The medium, zipped silhouette keeps essentials secure while adding a timeless vintage edge.
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 Medium Lady Dior? A: With approximate measurements 24 × 20 × 11 cm, it comfortably holds a long wallet, smartphone, keys, compact sunglasses, a small cosmetics pouch, and a slim diary. A small tablet such as an iPad mini can fit, but the structured top zip makes the opening narrower than the base; A4 documents and laptops do not fit.
Q: Can this bag be worn crossbody? A: Dior’s Medium Lady Dior often includes a thin removable strap suitable for shoulder or crossbody wear. This vintage piece has a detachable strap listed in the product information with an approximate drop of 40 cm, which is ideal on the shoulder for most and typically sits high if worn crossbody; taller users may find it too short for true crossbody carry.
Q: How secure is the opening? A: It features a top zip closure, keeping contents secure. Because the frame is structured, the opening is narrower than the base, so larger items may need angling to insert.
Q: Is colour transfer a concern with denim and patent leather? A: Yes, dark denim fabrics and patent leather surfaces are susceptible to dye migration under friction and humidity. Minimise risk by avoiding prolonged contact with fresh or dark denim clothing, using a fabric-safe water and stain guard on the denim, and wiping patent leather handles after use with a soft dry cloth. Seek professional care for stubborn dye marks.
Q: How should I care for the Cannage denim exterior? A: Gently brush away dust, spot-clean with a slightly damp soft cloth and mild fabric-safe cleaner, and allow to air-dry away from heat. Do not machine wash or soak. Apply a fabric-safe protector periodically to help repel liquids and reduce colour transfer.
Q: How should I care for the patent leather handles and strap? A: Wipe with a soft microfibre cloth, avoid abrasive cleaners, perfumes, and hand sanitisers, and store away from colour-transferring materials. Patent can pick up dye; prevention is better than removal. If needed, consult a luxury bag care specialist.
Q: What are the carry options and drops on this item? A: The handle drop is approximately 10 cm for hand or crook-of-arm carry, and the detachable strap drop is approximately 40 cm for shoulder wear. Please refer to the measurements on this page for exact details.
Q: Does this item include a dust bag or authenticity card? A: Everything included is listed in the product information. For this item, a detachable shoulder strap is included. Dior does not use serialised authenticity cards; older pieces have internal date codes and newer models may use embedded microchips instead.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this bag? A: Our specialists perform multi-point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, and internal codes. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can share further details on request.
Q: Where is this piece made? A: It is labelled Made in Italy.
