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 Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 33 × 14 × 11 cm, it is best suited to daily essentials such as a phone, long purse, keys, sunglasses, a small cosmetics pouch and other slim personal items. It is not large enough for a laptop or bulkier belongings. Capacity can vary slightly depending on how you pack, so please refer to the Measurements on this page for the exact size.
Q: Can this bag be carried on the shoulder? A: Yes. This style features dual flat shoulder straps and a handle measurement of approximately 20 cm, so it is designed to sit neatly on the shoulder and can also be carried in the hand. Under thicker outerwear, the fit may feel slightly closer.
Q: Is the Dior Trotter pattern considered vintage? A: Yes. The Trotter pattern, also referred to in many resale listings as Diorissimo or Dior Oblique canvas, is one of Dior’s most recognisable monogram designs and is especially associated with collectible late-1990s and 2000s pieces. That vintage Y2K appeal is one reason Trotter bags remain so sought after.
Q: What materials and details does this bag have? A: This bag features Trotter canvas with black leather trim, silver-tone hardware, a black fabric lining and a zip closure. The combination gives it a practical shoulder-bag format with a distinctly vintage Dior look.
Q: What condition is this bag in? A: The exterior and interior are both rated Very Good with light traces of use. The hardware is described as shiny with light scratches. As with most vintage Dior canvas bags, gentle signs of age and wear are normal and form part of the bag’s pre-owned character.
Q: Does this bag come with any extra product information? A: No. This item is listed with no extra product information. If a box, dust bag, card or any other item is not stated under Product information, it should be considered not included.
Q: How should I care for a vintage Dior canvas bag? A: Gently wipe the canvas with a soft dry cloth, or use a barely damp cloth for light surface marks. Avoid soaking the material, harsh cleaning products, overfilling, and prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or humidity. For deeper cleaning or stubborn stains, a specialist in vintage luxury bags is the safest option.
Q: Does this bag have a serial number or date code? A: No serial number is listed for this particular item. On vintage Dior pieces, interior labels and date codes can vary by production period, so authenticity is best assessed as a whole through the canvas weave, stitching, hardware, trim and branding. A Retro Tale authenticates all items before sale.
Q: Is this bag better for everyday use or occasions? A: Its zip-top shoulder silhouette and medium profile make it a versatile choice for everyday essentials, lunches, city outings and evening plans. Because it is a vintage canvas-and-leather piece, many buyers prefer to use it regularly while handling it with a little extra care.
