Christian Dior Suede Pouch

Q: What typically fits inside this pouch (28 × 18 × 4 cm)?
A: It comfortably holds a large smartphone (including iPhone 15 Pro Max), a small wallet or cardholder, keys, lipstick, and a passport. An iPad mini (6th gen) can fit when placed horizontally without a bulky case; full‑size tablets will not. For best results, compare your items to the Measurements on this page.

Q: Does it come with a strap or wristlet, and can one be attached?
A: This is a classic handheld pouch with a zip top. It does not include a strap and does not have D‑rings or attachments for one.

Q: What is included with the item?
A: Everything that comes with the piece is listed in the product information section on this page. If an item (for example, a dust bag) is not listed there, it is not included.

Q: Is pink suede prone to colour transfer or rain marks?
A: Suede is absorbent and can pick up dye from darker fabrics (like denim) and show water spotting. Pre‑treat with a suede protector, keep it away from prolonged rain or damp, and allow light‑coloured garments to fully dry before contact.

Q: How should I protect and care for the suede?
A: Before first use, apply a suede protector spray in light coats and let it cure fully. After wear, gently brush the nap with a suede brush to lift fibres and remove surface dust. If the pouch gets wet, blot (do not rub) and air‑dry naturally away from heat, then brush. Store loosely stuffed in a breathable cover, out of direct sunlight.

Q: How do I remove minor marks on suede?
A: Start with a clean suede brush or crepe brush. For shiny spots or light marks, use a suede eraser with gentle strokes and re‑brush. Avoid liquid cleaners and oils; for persistent stains, consult a professional leather‑care specialist.

Q: What does the star‑shaped zip pull signify?
A: The star is a long‑standing Dior house symbol inspired by Monsieur Dior’s “lucky star”. It appears across collections as a subtle signature detail.

Q: Will a passport fit inside?
A: Yes. A standard passport booklet (approx. 12.5 × 8.8 cm) fits easily, along with travel essentials like a phone and small wallet.

Q: Is a non‑European country‑of‑origin label normal for Dior, and how do you ensure authenticity?
A: Country‑of‑origin varies by line and season as luxury houses work with specialised workshops worldwide. Authenticity is not determined by origin alone. Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously authenticated via multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, stamps and hardware, and we stand behind all items we sell.

Q: What is the condition of this pouch?
A: Very Good overall: light traces of use on the suede and interior, and silver‑tone hardware that remains shiny with light scratches. Please review all photos and Measurements for the most accurate picture.
