Very Good Condition
Perfect for city strolls, festivals or travel, the Christian Dior Oblique Slim Saddle belt pouch offers polished, hands‑free ease. Wear it at the waist to keep essentials close and add an iconic Dior touch, effortlessly elevating looks from daytime errands to evening plans.
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 Oblique Slim Saddle Belt Pouch? A: With an approximate footprint of 21 × 13 × 2.5 cm, it is designed for slim daily essentials. It comfortably accommodates a large smartphone, a passport, a card holder, keys and a few small items like lip balm. Capacity depends on how flat you pack—please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions and avoid overfilling to maintain the sleek silhouette.
Q: Will it fit a large phone like an iPhone Pro Max? A: Yes. Dior indicates the slim pouch format is ideal for larger smartphones such as the iPhone 11 Pro Max, so most current Pro/Plus/Max phones in slim cases should fit. Chunky cases may be too tight—removing the case or using a slimmer one will maximise space.
Q: How can I wear this pouch? A: The design offers multiple styling options. Use the thin removable, adjustable belt to wear it at the waist or hips, or sling it over the shoulder or crossbody for hands‑free wear. You can also carry it by hand as a compact pouch for evening.
Q: Is the belt removable and what size does it suit? A: Yes—the belt is removable and adjustable. The strap length for this specific piece is listed as 57 cm (adjustable). For best results, measure where you plan to wear it (natural waist, high waist or hips) and compare with the strap measurement shown here. If you need a different fit, the pouch can be threaded onto a compatible slim belt of your own.
Q: Can I use the pouch on other belts? A: Yes. The pouch features rear loops, allowing it to slide onto other slim belts of a similar width for different looks. Ensure the belt fits smoothly through the loops and doesn’t distort the canvas.
Q: How secure is the closure? A: The Saddle flap fastens with a magnetic metal ‘D’ stirrup clasp. It is designed to stay closed during normal use when the pouch is not overfilled. For security, align the flap so the magnet engages cleanly and keep valuables inside the main compartment.
Q: What is the material and how should I care for it? A: It is crafted in blue Dior Oblique jacquard canvas with antique gold‑tone hardware and a tonal textile lining. For routine care, gently brush away dust with a soft, dry brush or microfiber cloth. For light marks, dab (don’t rub) with a slightly damp cloth and a tiny amount of mild soap, then blot dry. Avoid soaking, harsh chemicals, or vigorous scrubbing that can fuzz the weave. Store lightly filled, in its dust bag, away from direct heat and moisture to preserve the shape and colour and to protect the hardware.
Q: Is this piece made in Italy? A: Yes. Dior’s Saddle slim and belt pouch models in Oblique jacquard are produced in Italy, and this item’s country of origin label is Italy.
Q: There is a light vintage smell noted—how can I reduce it safely? A: Air the pouch in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight for several days. Then place odour‑absorbing sachets (activated charcoal or baking‑soda packs) inside for 48–72 hours and repeat if needed. Avoid spraying perfume or alcohol‑based fresheners directly on the fabric, and never saturate the canvas. For persistent odours, consider a specialist bag spa familiar with jacquard textiles.
Q: What arrives with my purchase? A: Everything included is listed under the product information section on this page. For this item, the listing notes box, dust bag, card and ribbon. If an element isn’t mentioned in product information, it is not included—contact us if you would like to confirm any detail.
Q: How do you authenticate this piece and where is the Dior date code? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully authenticated by our in‑house experts using a multi‑point check of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and codes. Dior typically stamps a date code on or behind the interior leather tag (or on a small tab within the lining) indicating factory and production timing. We stand behind the authenticity of all items and can share additional images or details on request.
