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 this Medium Lady Dior Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 24 x 20 x 9 cm, this medium-sized style is well suited to daily essentials such as a phone, wallet, card holder, keys, sunglasses and a few small cosmetic items. As always, capacity depends on how you organise your belongings, so please refer to the Measurements on this page for the exact size of this vintage piece.
Q: Can this bag be carried by hand, on the shoulder, or crossbody? A: Yes. This bag has dual top handles as well as a detachable shoulder strap, giving you the option to carry it by hand or wear it on the shoulder. With a strap drop of approximately 45 cm, many customers will also find it sits well as a crossbody, depending on height and preferred fit.
Q: What material is this Lady Dior made from? A: This piece is crafted from black patent leather with the iconic Cannage quilting and finished with gold-tone hardware. Patent leather has a glossy, structured look that gives the Lady Dior an especially polished and dressy appearance.
Q: Does this bag close securely? A: Yes. This particular vintage model features a zip closure, which helps keep your belongings secure while maintaining the structured Lady Dior silhouette.
Q: How should I care for patent leather? A: Patent leather is best cared for gently. Wipe the surface with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth, avoid abrasive cleaners, and store the bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. It is also best kept away from rough surfaces and dark fabrics that may transfer colour onto the glossy finish.
Q: Is patent leather prone to scratches or marks? A: Patent leather is loved for its shine, but it can show surface scratches, scuffs and transfer marks more easily than some textured leathers. For this reason, careful handling and thoughtful storage are especially important. This item is already noted as being in good condition with visible scratches and marks on the exterior.
Q: Is this a practical everyday size? A: Medium Lady Dior bags are often considered one of the most versatile sizes because they balance elegance with everyday usefulness. They offer more room than the smaller versions while still keeping the signature structured look. If you carry only daily essentials and prefer a refined shape, this size is a very practical choice.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included with this item is listed in the product information. For this bag, a detachable shoulder strap is included. If you would like to confirm whether anything else accompanies the bag, we recommend checking the product information on this page.
Q: How do I know this bag is authentic? A: Every item sold by A Retro Tale is carefully vetted for authenticity by experts. This bag is a vintage Christian Dior piece made in Italy, and details such as the Cannage pattern, structured top handles, signature charm design and overall construction are all important points typically considered during authentication.
