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 Messenger Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 17 × 15 × 5 cm, this is a compact vintage bag best suited to small daily essentials such as a compact phone, card holder, keys, lipstick and a few slim items. If you carry a larger phone or a bulky wallet, we recommend comparing it with the Measurements on this page before purchasing.
Q: Can this bag be worn crossbody? A: Yes, the messenger silhouette and adjustable shoulder strap make it suitable for shoulder or crossbody wear for many people. The listed strap measurement is 60 cm, so the exact fit will depend on your height and preferred drop.
Q: What is the Dior Trotter pattern on this bag? A: Trotter refers to Dior’s iconic monogram canvas pattern. On this piece, it appears in navy canvas with matching navy leather trim and gold-tone hardware, giving the bag a classic vintage Dior look.
Q: How does the bag close? A: This bag has a magnetic flap closure with a tonal textile lining inside, making it easy to access your essentials whilst keeping the silhouette neat and compact.
Q: What condition details should I know about before buying? A: The overall condition is rated Very Good. The exterior shows a visible crack on the leather strap, the interior has light traces of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches. As with all vintage pieces, signs of age and wear are part of the item’s character.
Q: Is this bag suitable for everyday use? A: It is ideal for light essentials and regular gentle use, but because it is a vintage item with a visible crack on the leather strap, it is best treated with a little extra care rather than used as a heavy-duty everyday bag.
Q: What product information is included with this bag? A: This bag comes with an authenticity card. Everything included with the item is reflected in the product information on the product page.
Q: Does this bag have a serial number? A: No serial number is listed for this item. For vintage Dior pieces, authenticity should be assessed holistically through details such as construction, materials, hardware, interior markings and provenance rather than one feature alone. This item has been professionally authenticated by A Retro Tale.
Q: How should I care for vintage Trotter canvas and leather? A: Wipe the canvas gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth and avoid soaking, rubbing or using harsh cleaners. Keep the leather trim away from excess moisture, heat and prolonged sunlight, and store the bag lightly stuffed in a breathable dust bag when not in use. Because the strap already shows cracking, handle it with extra care.
