An elegant choice for dinners, theatre nights or chic city strolls, the Christian Dior Mini 30 Montaigne in black box calfskin lends refined sophistication while carrying your essentials. Its gold-tone accents and discreet profile complement tailored ensembles, and the detachable strap offers effortless crossbody wear from day to evening.
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 Christian Dior Mini 30 Montaigne? A: With approximate dimensions of 15 × 11 × 4 cm, it’s suited to true essentials: a cardholder, keys, a lipstick, compact mirror, wireless earbuds and folded notes/receipts. Due to the compact width and structured flap, bulky wallets and larger pouches are not recommended. If you’d like, we can perform a tailored fit check for a specific item.
Q: Will it fit my smartphone? A: Most Plus/Max‑size smartphones generally do not fit. Slimmer or smaller phones may fit depending on case thickness and orientation, but it will be snug. Share your device’s measurements and we’ll test the fit in this exact piece.
Q: Is the strap adjustable and can I wear it crossbody? A: Yes. This model features an adjustable, detachable leather shoulder strap for shoulder or high crossbody wear. On this piece the strap drop is noted at approximately 53 cm at the longest setting and around 28 cm on a shorter setting. Detach the strap to carry it as a sleek clutch.
Q: How secure is the closure and what is the interior layout? A: The flap fastens with the signature metal ‘CD’ clasp for everyday security. Inside you’ll find a black leather lining with one internal pocket for cards or small valuables. For travel or commuting, we suggest using a slim zip pouch for added organisation.
Q: What is box calfskin and how should I care for it? A: Box calfskin is a smooth, structured calf leather with a refined sheen—elegant but more prone to visible scuffs than pebbled grains. Avoid moisture, oils and prolonged sunlight; be mindful of colour transfer from dark denim. Dust with a soft, dry cloth and use a high‑quality neutral leather conditioner very sparingly after testing on a discreet area. Store it upright, lightly stuffed, in a breathable dust bag, and avoid hanging the strap for long periods.
Q: Will the hardware scratch easily? A: Gold‑tone finishes naturally develop hairline scratches with normal use—this is expected on the ‘CD’ clasp and rings. To minimise this, avoid contact with abrasive surfaces and store with felt or tissue between metal parts and leather.
Q: Is the Mini/Smallest 30 Montaigne still produced? A: Dior refreshes 30 Montaigne sizes and variants seasonally (e.g., Small, East‑West, Micro/Mini). While the line remains a House icon, specific mini formats and details can be seasonal or vary by collection. The pre‑loved market is often the best place to find particular configurations like this compact size—feel free to ask us about current boutique availability.
Q: Where are the brand markings and codes located? A: Dior bags typically feature a “Christian Dior Paris” interior heat‑stamp and a discreet production/date code—often on or behind a small leather tag or along an interior seam/pocket. Placement and format vary by model and year. This piece is labelled Made in Italy; we’re happy to provide close‑up photos on request.
Q: What accessories are included with this listing? A: Everything included is listed under “Accessories.” This piece is offered without extras (no dust bag, box or papers). The detachable strap is part of the bag itself unless otherwise noted—if you’d like us to reconfirm what’s present, just ask.
Q: How do you authenticate? A: Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes rigorous, multi‑point authentication by our in‑house experts. We assess materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, production codes and overall construction, and we stand behind the authenticity of every piece we sell.
