Perfect for an evening wedding or cocktail soirée, this Mini Lady Dior in burgundy Cannage‑quilted patent leather brings refined polish. Carry by the dual rounded top handles or use the detachable chain‑link strap for hands‑free elegance; gold‑tone hardware and signature D.I.O.R. charms complete the look. A vintage icon for special nights.
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 are the measurements of the Mini Lady Dior and how can it be carried? A: The bag measures approximately 17 × 15 × 7 cm. The top-handle drop is about 8 cm for hand carry, and the detachable chain strap has an approximate 55 cm drop for shoulder or crossbody wear.
Q: What typically fits inside this Mini size? A: Everyday essentials such as a small smartphone, card holder or compact wallet, keys, and a lipstick or compact will fit. Due to the structured frame and narrow opening, larger phones (Plus/Max sizes, especially with a case) may be a tight fit or may not fit upright—please compare your device’s measurements with the bag’s dimensions.
Q: Is the shoulder strap adjustable? A: The chain strap is removable but not adjustable. It is designed for either shoulder or crossbody carry with a fixed drop of approximately 55 cm.
Q: How is the interior organised? A: It has a tonal suede lining with one internal zipped pocket to secure small items such as cards or keys.
Q: How should I care for the patent leather finish? A: Wipe gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth and allow to air dry. Avoid oils, creams, harsh chemicals, alcohol, or acetone-based products, which can dull or damage the glossy coating. Keep away from prolonged heat and humidity, which can cause stickiness on patent leather.
Q: Is colour transfer a risk with patent leather? A: Yes. Patent leather can pick up dye from dark or non-colourfast fabrics (for example, denim). Minimise contact with such materials, and store the bag separately in a neutral-coloured dust bag to help prevent transfer.
Q: How should I store the bag when not in use? A: Store it upright in its dust bag and box, loosely stuffed to maintain shape. Keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Tuck or wrap the chain strap so it does not press into the leather.
Q: What is included with this item? A: As listed under the product information, this piece comes with the box, dust bag, authenticity card, brand booklets and a detachable shoulder strap.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes a rigorous multi-point inspection by our in‑house experts, assessing materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and overall craftsmanship. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell.
Q: What is the condition of this specific bag? A: Very good overall. The exterior shows a light trace of use; the interior has light stains and signs of use on the lining; the gold-tone hardware remains shiny with light scratches. Please review the photos and condition notes for full details.
