An ideal companion for daytime city outings, this vintage Christian Dior Diorissimo hobo bag brings effortless polish to brunches, shopping trips and museum visits. In Diorissimo canvas with black leather trim, a single shoulder strap and a magnetic flap, it keeps essentials secure as you move from coffee to cocktails.
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: How big is the Diorissimo Hobo and how does it wear? A: This medium hobo is approximately 33 × 20 × 2 cm with a single flat shoulder strap of about 32 cm drop. It sits comfortably under the arm and is intended for shoulder carry rather than crossbody.
Q: What typically fits inside this bag? A: Its slim profile suits daily essentials such as a smartphone, long wallet, keys, a compact and a slim sunglasses case. It is not ideal for bulky items or a water bottle. An A4 document or 11-inch tablet will generally not fit due to the 20 cm height and narrow depth; smaller tablets or e-readers may fit if in a slim sleeve.
Q: Is the strap adjustable or detachable? A: No. This style features a fixed, non-detachable shoulder strap designed for classic over-the-shoulder wear.
Q: How secure is the opening? A: The bag closes with a magnetic flap featuring the CD logo. There is no top zip; for very small items we recommend using a pouch for added security and organisation.
Q: What is Diorissimo (also called Oblique) canvas? A: It is Dior’s signature monogram jacquard, conceived in the late 1960s and widely known as the Oblique motif. It is a woven fabric with leather trim rather than a stiff coated canvas, giving a lighter, supple feel while showcasing the all-over Dior lettering.
Q: How should I care for the canvas and leather trim? A: For routine care, gently wipe with a soft, dry microfibre cloth or use a clean, slightly damp cloth with a drop of mild soap for spot treatment. Avoid soaking the fabric, harsh chemicals and vigorous scrubbing, which can cause colour transfer or fraying. Let the bag air-dry away from heat and sunlight. For stubborn stains, seek a professional handbag care service.
Q: Where is the date/serial code and what does it mean? A: Dior bags typically have a code stamped on or behind an interior leather tab; placement and format vary by era. The code can help indicate production details, but it is only one clue—authenticity should be assessed holistically by experts.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under product information. For this listing, no additional items are included beyond the bag itself unless explicitly stated.
Q: How should I store this vintage piece? A: Store it loosely stuffed to maintain shape, in a breathable dust bag, with the strap laid naturally. Keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and coloured materials that may transfer. Occasionally polish the gold-tone hardware with a soft cloth only; avoid metal cleaners.
Q: Is this piece made in France? A: Yes. The country of origin label indicates France for this bag.
