Made for sun-soaked days, this Christian Dior wicker basket bag is the perfect companion for garden parties, seaside brunches and relaxed weekend markets. Effortlessly elevating linen looks and summer tailoring, its generous silhouette keeps your essentials close from city strolls to coastal getaways.
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 Large Oblique Jacquard Wicker Basket Bag? A: Based on the measurements (approx. 32 × 21 × 12 cm), it comfortably holds a long wallet, phone, sunglasses case, keys, a small cosmetic pouch, and a compact camera or an e‑reader. A small water bottle can fit on its side. It is not designed for A4 documents or a 13-inch laptop—please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact sizing.
Q: Can I wear it crossbody? A: Yes. It comes with a detachable, adjustable embroidered shoulder strap. The strap drop is approximately 55 cm (adjustable), so it can be worn on the shoulder or crossbody depending on your preferred length.
Q: How secure is the opening? A: The basket is open at the top, but the integrated blue Dior Oblique jacquard pouch features a drawstring closure that cinches shut to keep contents more secure. The pouch also provides extra privacy and helps protect items from light splashes and dust.
Q: Is the interior pouch removable and does it have pockets? A: For this piece, the jacquard pouch is integrated and designed to stay in place during regular use. Inside, there is one zip pocket and one slip pocket for small essentials.
Q: Is wicker suitable for rain or the beach? A: Natural wicker and jacquard are not water‑resistant. Avoid rain, wet sand and high humidity. If caught in light drizzle, blot dry promptly with a soft cloth and allow to air dry away from direct heat or sunlight. Always use the drawstring pouch to protect contents, but keep the bag itself away from moisture whenever possible.
Q: How should I care for the wicker and jacquard? A: Dust the wicker gently with a soft brush or microfiber cloth. Do not soak or use harsh cleaners. Spot clean the jacquard pouch carefully and allow it to dry naturally. Store the bag lightly stuffed to maintain shape, in a breathable dust bag, away from heat sources and prolonged direct sunlight. Avoid hanging it by the strap for long periods.
Q: How much weight can it carry? A: Wicker is lightweight yet structured; for longevity, carry day‑to‑day essentials only and avoid overloading or carrying very heavy items, which can stress the weave and hardware over time.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under product information. For this piece, that is the dust bag and the detachable shoulder strap. If an item isn’t listed there, it is not included.
Q: Where is the Dior date code and how do you authenticate this item? A: Dior typically places a date code on the reverse of a small leather tag or inside a pocket. Formats vary by year and model. Every item at A Retro Tale is authenticated through multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and coding. If you’d like us to confirm the location of the code on this piece, just ask.
Q: What should I know about condition? A: This item is in good pre‑loved condition with visible scuffing and signs of wear on the wicker handles, light trace of use inside, and shiny hardware with light scratches. Please review the photos and Condition notes on this page for full details.
