Elevate day-to-night dressing with the Dior 30 Montaigne Box Bag in blue. Elegant yet modern, it’s ideal for a gallery opening, a smart lunch, or cocktails after work, lending polished Parisian flair to tailored separates, silk blouses, and sleek denim.
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 Dior 30 Montaigne Box Bag? A: Given its compact, structured shape (approx. 17.5 × 12 × 5 cm), it comfortably holds a standard smartphone, a slim cardholder or compact wallet, keys, and a few small extras like lipstick or travel-size hand sanitiser. Slim sunglasses may fit without a bulky case. It will not accommodate a long continental wallet or a water bottle.
Q: Can it be worn crossbody and is the strap removable? A: Yes. The bag comes with a large leather strap that is both removable and adjustable, so you can wear it crossbody or on the shoulder. The strap drop is around 50 cm and adjustable; please refer to the product information on this page for the exact measurement.
Q: How does the bag close and is it secure? A: It features a flap top with the signature CD clasp. The structured box silhouette and clasp provide a secure, tidy closure for daily use and evenings.
Q: Does it have any pockets? A: The Box Bag includes an exterior back pocket that’s handy for travel cards or receipts. Inside, there is a main compartment with a slim, organised layout suited to essentials.
Q: What materials is this version made from and how should I care for it? A: This edition is crafted in blue Dior Oblique jacquard with blue leather trim and gold-tone hardware. To care for it, avoid overfilling, prolonged rubbing against rough fabrics, and contact with moisture or oils. Gently wipe surface dirt with a soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth; avoid harsh cleaners. Store it lightly filled in a breathable dust bag, away from direct sunlight, and keep hardware from rubbing against other items.
Q: Will a long wallet fit? A: No. Most long/continental wallets exceed the internal length of this compact model. A small wallet or cardholder is recommended for the best fit.
Q: Is the Oblique jacquard durable for daily wear? A: The woven Oblique jacquard is known for being lightweight and resilient, but like all fabrics it can show wear from heavy abrasion or colour transfer. Avoid dark, unwashed denim and rough surfaces, and rotate use to keep it looking its best.
Q: How can I verify authenticity and is there a date code? A: Dior bags traditionally feature a date code on a leather tab inside. Newer Dior pieces may instead use an internal microchip, so a missing visible code can be normal depending on the production year. Every item at A Retro Tale is authenticated through multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, and construction details; further information can be provided on request.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed in the product information section. For this piece, it includes a dust bag and a detachable shoulder strap. If you need clarification, please contact us.
Q: How does the Box Bag differ from the standard 30 Montaigne flap? A: The Box Bag is the compact, more structured variant of the 30 Montaigne line. It keeps the iconic CD clasp and back pocket but has a smaller, boxier profile that’s ideal for essentials and dressier occasions.
