Perfect for dinner dates, weddings and gallery openings, this Mini Lady Dior wallet lends a polished touch. Compact yet functional with card slots and a bill compartment, it slips effortlessly into evening looks, keeping essentials organised in style.
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 Mini Lady Dior Gardenia wallet? A: Despite its petite size, it holds daily essentials such as several cards, folded notes, coins and a few receipts. For exact dimensions, please refer to the Measurements on this page.
Q: How many compartments does this model usually have? A: Gardenia wallets typically feature five card slots, one note compartment, one slip pocket and one zipped coin pocket. Layout details can vary slightly by production year, so please check our photos and description for this exact piece.
Q: Is the D.I.O.R charm removable? A: Many Gardenia wallets come with detachable D.I.O.R charms. Please review our photos to confirm how the charm is attached on this item.
Q: What leather is it made from and how should I care for it? A: It is crafted in patent Cannage leather. Wipe gently with a soft, dry or slightly damp microfibre cloth, avoid solvents and alcohol-based cleaners, keep away from heat and direct sunlight, and store in its dust bag with light stuffing to help maintain shape.
Q: Is colour transfer a risk with patent leather? A: Yes, the glossy finish can pick up dye from dark or abrasive materials (for example denim). Preventive care is best: avoid prolonged rubbing against dark fabrics, store separately in a breathable dust bag, and do not use harsh chemicals to remove marks—consult a leather-care professional if needed.
Q: Will this wallet fit inside mini handbags and small pockets? A: Yes, its compact footprint is designed to slip easily into most mini handbags, clutches and coat pockets. Please refer to the Measurements for precise sizing.
Q: Can Dior repair this wallet if needed? A: Dior boutiques may offer repairs at their discretion, often prioritising items purchased directly from Dior. For preloved pieces, many clients use reputable luxury leather specialists for cleaning or restoration. Availability and costs vary by case.
Q: How can I authenticate a Dior wallet—does it have a date code? A: Dior small leather goods commonly have a heat‑stamped internal code (often digits‑letters‑digits) that indicates factory and production period. Location can vary (for example, inside a pocket or near an interior seam). Our in‑house experts have authenticated this piece; we can share additional photos of stamps upon request.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This listing includes the box and dust bag. Everything included is always listed under the product information section.
Q: How should I look after the pale gold‑tone hardware? A: Wipe gently with a soft cloth after use, avoid metal polishes or abrasive cleaners, and store so the hardware is not rubbing against other items to minimise micro‑scratches.
