Q: What are the dimensions of this bag and how does it carry?
A: Approx. 21 × 17 × 4 cm with an adjustable strap around 50 cm. The compact profile is ideal for hands‑free wear as a shoulder or crossbody bag. Please refer to the Measurements on this page to confirm the fit for you.

Q: What typically fits inside the Saddle Oblique Trio Pouch?
A: Daily essentials such as a smartphone, small wallet or cardholder, keys, earbuds, lip balm, and a slim sunglasses sleeve. Bulky items like a water bottle or tablet are not recommended due to the slim depth.

Q: Are the three pouches removable on this model?
A: On this vintage Trio Pouch, the compartments are built in and not detachable. Some later “Triple Pouch” releases feature removable front or nano pouches, but this piece has three integrated sections with a zip top.

Q: Is the strap removable and can it be worn crossbody?
A: The strap on this piece is adjustable for shoulder or crossbody wear; it is not designed to detach. Strap length and drop can vary slightly by production, so please review the Measurements noted.

Q: What is the exterior made of?
A: Blue Dior Oblique jacquard canvas with blue leather trim and gold‑tone metal hardware. The Oblique canvas is a woven fabric known for its texture and durability when used with care.

Q: Is the Oblique canvas water resistant?
A: It is a fabric jacquard, so it is not waterproof. Avoid heavy rain and prolonged moisture. If it gets damp, blot gently with a soft, dry cloth and allow it to air dry away from direct heat.

Q: How should I care for the canvas and leather trim?
A: Wipe the canvas with a slightly damp, lint‑free cloth; avoid harsh chemicals, soaking, or vigorous scrubbing to preserve the motif. Condition leather sparingly with a suitable product, keep away from colour‑transfer surfaces, and store stuffed in a breathable dust bag to maintain shape.

Q: Does this bag have a date code or microchip?
A: Many Dior bags produced prior to around 2021 carry an internal date code, while more recent pieces may include an NFC microchip instead. As a 2019 piece, this model may feature a date code. Our team verifies all identifiers during authentication and can share details on request.
