This Christian Dior Trotter 45 Boston Bag in brown Trotter canvas with brown leather trim and gold-tone hardware is presented in very good condition. Ideal for a weekend away or stylish travel days, it brings vintage Dior character to your look while offering a practical and elegant way to carry your essentials.
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 Trotter 45 Boston Bag? A: With measurements of approximately 45 x 31 x 22 cm, it is a roomy Boston-style bag that suits overnight or weekend essentials such as clothing, toiletries, a pouch, a wallet and other larger daily items. If you plan to carry a laptop, we recommend comparing it to the measurements on this page first.
Q: Can this bag be worn on the shoulder? A: Yes. It has dual rolled leather handles, and the included product information lists a detachable shoulder strap. The handle drop is approximately 13 cm, so it can also be carried comfortably by hand or in the crook of the arm.
Q: Is the bag secure for travel? A: The bag has a top zip closure to help keep contents enclosed, and this listing also includes a padlock. As with most vintage bags, it is best treated as a stylish travel or overnight companion rather than a modern security bag.
Q: Is the 45 size suitable as cabin luggage? A: The 45 size is often considered an overnight or short-trip size. At 45 cm wide, it may work for many airline cabin allowances, but baggage limits vary by carrier and route, so we recommend checking your airline’s current size rules before travelling.
Q: What condition should I expect from this specific bag? A: This bag is listed in very good overall condition. Please note there is scuffing on the leather trim and piping, light traces of use inside, a vintage smell, and light scratches to the shiny hardware. These details are reflected in the condition notes for this piece.
Q: What does “vintage smell” mean? A: It usually refers to an older storage-related odour that can sometimes be found in pre-owned bags. Sensitivity to scent varies from person to person. Gentle airing, careful storage and moisture control may help, but vintage odours do not always disappear completely.
Q: How should I care for vintage Dior Trotter canvas and leather trim? A: Wipe the canvas and leather gently with a soft, dry or only slightly damp cloth. Avoid soaking the bag, harsh cleaners, perfume sprays and prolonged direct sunlight. Store it loosely stuffed, lightly zipped, and in a breathable dust bag or cupboard away from heat and humidity.
Q: Does a missing serial number or card automatically mean a vintage Dior bag is not authentic? A: No. Vintage Dior bags can vary by era, and cards or interior codes are not the only indicators of authenticity. Experts usually assess the overall construction, lining, stamp, hardware, stitching and pattern alignment together rather than relying on one detail alone.
Q: How is this bag authenticated? A: A Retro Tale states that its items are checked by in-house experts, and vintage Dior authentication typically involves reviewing materials, stitching, hardware, interior tags or codes when present, and overall craftsmanship before the item is offered for sale.
