Very Good Condition
Perfect for chic days about town, the Christian Dior Small Vibe Zip Bowling Bag lends a sport-luxe touch to brunches, gallery visits and dinner plans. Its black-and-white leather pairs effortlessly with monochrome looks, making it an elegant, compact choice for weekend outings or travel, when you want style that moves seamlessly from day to night.
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 Small Dior Vibe Zip Bowling Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 25 × 13 × 12 cm, it’s ideal for daily essentials: a large smartphone, continental wallet, keys, slim sunglasses in a soft case, wireless earbuds and a small cosmetics pouch. An iPad mini–sized tablet can be a squeeze due to the 13 cm height and curved zip opening. A5 notebooks fit; A4 documents and a 500 ml water bottle do not sit upright. If you’d like a tailored fit check for a specific item, just ask and we’ll test this exact piece.
Q: Can I wear it crossbody and is the strap adjustable? A: Yes. This piece includes a detachable, adjustable shoulder strap with an approximate drop of 55 cm for shoulder or high crossbody wear. The dual top handles have an approximate 9 cm drop for hand or crook‑of‑arm carry.
Q: How secure is the closure and what is the interior layout? A: The bag features a zip‑top main compartment for everyday security, a beige canvas lining and one internal zipped pocket to keep valuables organised. There is also a front zipped pocket accented with the ‘Christian Dior’ signature for quick‑access items.
Q: What is the front zipped pocket best used for? A: It’s ideal for low‑profile items such as a cardholder, travel cards, receipts or keys. Bulky objects are not recommended here as they may distort the silhouette.
Q: What materials and finish does this piece have, and where is it made? A: This bag is crafted in black and white leather with gold‑tone hardware, and it is labelled Made in Italy. Natural variations in leather grain and light signs of wear are normal for a pre‑loved piece.
Q: Will it fit a tablet or e‑reader? A: Compact tablets and e‑readers may fit, but due to the 13 cm height and curved zip opening they can be snug—slim devices without bulky cases fare best. If you share your device’s measurements, we’ll check the fit in this exact bag.
Q: Is the bag heavy to carry? A: The Small Vibe Zip Bowling is structured yet compact, designed to feel comfortable for day‑to‑night use. If you’re sensitive to weight, we’re happy to provide an exact scale weight for this specific item on request.
Q: How should I care for the leather (especially the light panels) and hardware? A: Keep the bag away from moisture, oils and prolonged sunlight. Be mindful of colour transfer from dark denim onto the white/light leather. Wipe with a soft, dry cloth; condition smooth leather sparingly with a high‑quality neutral product (test first on a discreet area). Store upright, lightly stuffed, in a breathable dust bag, and pad the strap/handles to prevent pressure marks. Hardware can show fine hairline scratches with normal use—avoid contact with abrasive surfaces.
Q: Where are the brand markings and codes typically found? A: Authentic Dior bags usually feature a “Christian Dior Paris” interior heat‑stamp and a discreet date/production code, often on or behind a small leather tag or within a pocket. Placement and format can vary by model and year—let us know if you’d like close‑up photos of this exact piece.
Q: What accessories are included and how do you authenticate? A: For this item we list: dust bag, authenticity card, brand booklet and a detachable shoulder strap under “Accessories.” If an accessory isn’t mentioned there, it isn’t included. Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes rigorous multi‑point authentication by our in‑house experts, assessing materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, production codes and overall construction—we stand behind the authenticity of every piece we sell.
