With a tidy main compartment for daily essentials, it moves seamlessly from office hours to brunch or gallery visits.
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 this Christian Dior Shoulder Bag? A: With approximate internal dimensions of 29 × 20 × 2 cm, it comfortably holds a smartphone, slim long wallet, keys, passport, a compact, and a few small essentials. Due to its flat profile, it is not ideal for bulky cases, water bottles, or thick makeup bags—packing slim items will keep the flap closing neatly.
Q: Is the strap adjustable and can it be worn crossbody? A: The bag has a single flat shoulder strap with an approximate 32 cm drop as listed. It is not adjustable and is designed for on‑shoulder carry rather than crossbody for most heights.
Q: How does the bag fasten? A: It features a flap closure with Dior logo hardware for quick, secure access to the main compartment.
Q: What is included with this item? A: The product information for this listing indicates no additional items are included. Everything that comes with the bag is shown in the product information section; if a dust bag or card is not listed there, it is not included—feel free to ask us if you’d like confirmation.
Q: Where would I find the Dior date code, and what if there isn’t one? A: On many Dior bags from the late 1990s onward, an alphanumeric date code is stamped on the back of the interior leather logo tag, or on a small leather tab inside a pocket. Older vintage pieces may not have a date code, and its absence does not automatically indicate inauthenticity. We’re happy to help you locate and read any codes on request.
Q: Is this item authentic? A: Yes. Every item at A Retro Tale is thoroughly authenticated by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, stamps and hardware. We stand behind the authenticity of all items and can provide extra photos or details upon request.
Q: How should I care for the brown grained leather? A: After wear, wipe with a soft, dry cloth to remove surface dust. Condition sparingly a few times a year with a colourless leather moisturiser (test first on a discreet area). Keep away from oils, inks and prolonged direct sunlight. Avoid overfilling to maintain the slim silhouette. Store stuffed with acid‑free tissue in a breathable dust bag in a cool, dry place.
Q: How do I look after the silver‑tone hardware? A: Gently buff with a dry microfibre cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a pH‑neutral, non‑abrasive solution applied to the cloth only and keep liquids away from the surrounding leather. Avoid harsh metal polishes, which can strip plated finishes and alter the hardware’s colour.
Q: Is this a good choice for daily use? A: Grained leathers are generally more forgiving of light scratches than very smooth leathers, making this a practical option for regular wear. Given the slim 2 cm depth, it’s best suited to streamlined everyday essentials rather than bulky items.
Q: Will the camel colour look the same in person? A: Minor colour variations can occur due to screen settings and the natural patina that develops on vintage leather. Please review all photos and condition notes; contact us if you’d like a daylight photo or a specific colour check.
