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 fits inside the Christian Dior Diorissimo Boston Bag? A: Typically, it holds daily essentials such as a smartphone (including larger models), continental or compact wallet, keys, slim sunglasses case, small cosmetics pouch, an A5 notebook/e‑reader and a small water bottle. Capacity can vary slightly by production year and size—please refer to the Measurements on this page or contact us for tailored fit advice for this exact piece.
Q: Will it fit a tablet or laptop? A: Most Diorissimo Boston bags comfortably fit standard tablets and e‑readers. Full‑size laptops (13 inches and above) are generally not ideal due to the zip opening and structured shape, though slim 11–12‑inch devices may fit depending on the sleeve. Compare your device’s dimensions with the Measurements listed or ask us to perform a quick fit check for this item.
Q: Does it come with a shoulder strap, and can I wear it crossbody? A: Diorissimo Boston bags are primarily top‑handle styles. Some editions include a detachable shoulder strap suitable for shoulder or high crossbody wear, but not all pre‑loved pieces have one. Everything provided with this bag is listed under “Accessories.” We’ll list handle/strap drops in Measurements—if anything is missing, just ask and we’ll confirm for you.
Q: How secure is the closure and what pockets does it have? A: Most Boston bags feature a zip‑top main compartment offering good everyday security. Interiors typically include a zip pocket and slip pockets; layouts can vary by season and era. Please review our photos and description for the exact pocket configuration of this piece.
Q: What does “Diorissimo” mean and what materials are used? A: “Diorissimo” refers to Dior’s signature repeating “DIOR” monogram pattern used on various vintage and early‑2000s styles (often also associated with the Trotter era). Diorissimo Boston bags are commonly crafted in monogram jacquard or coated canvas with leather trim, textile lining, and gold‑tone or silver‑tone hardware. Our listing specifies the exact materials and finish for this item.
Q: How should I care for the monogram canvas/jacquard and leather trim? A: Keep the bag away from moisture, oils and prolonged sunlight, and be mindful of colour transfer from dark denim. Wipe coated canvas gently with a soft, dry cloth. For jacquard fabric, lightly brush with a clean, soft cloth and avoid abrasive contact. Condition smooth leather trim very sparingly with a neutral product (test first on a discreet area). Store the bag lightly stuffed, upright, in a breathable dust bag, and avoid overfilling to preserve its shape.
Q: Where are the brand markings and codes located, and how is dating handled? A: Authentic Dior bags feature a “Christian Dior” heat‑stamp inside and “Made in Italy” or “Made in France.” Many pieces include an alphanumeric date/serial code, often on a small leather tab inside an interior pocket or along a seam; placement and format vary by era, and some older styles may not have a visible code. We’re happy to share close‑up photos and help date this specific item on request.
Q: Is the Diorissimo Boston Bag still produced? A: The monogram Diorissimo Boston style is generally discontinued, with availability today primarily through the pre‑loved market. Variations in size, hardware and interior layout exist across production years, making vintage specialists like A Retro Tale ideal for finding specific configurations.
Q: What accessories are included with this item? A: Any included items (e.g., dust bag, detachable strap) are listed under “Accessories.” If an accessory isn’t mentioned there, it isn’t included—feel free to contact us for confirmation or to request additional photos.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes rigorous, multi‑point authentication by our in‑house experts, assessing materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, serial/date code and overall construction. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide further details or imagery on request.
