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 Trotter Romantique Boston Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 27 × 18 × 13 cm, it comfortably holds a long wallet, smartphone, keys, a small cosmetics pouch, sunglasses, and a small tablet or e‑reader up to about 8 inches. It is not designed to fit a laptop.
Q: Can I wear it on the shoulder or crossbody? A: It is designed to be worn on the shoulder. The dual chain‑linked straps have an approximate drop of 23 cm. The straps are not adjustable and are not long enough for crossbody wear.
Q: What kind of closure does this specific piece have? A: This item has an open top as shown in the photos and description. Romantique Boston styles were produced in different versions; this one is the open‑top variant.
Q: How is the interior organised? A: The interior features beige fabric lining with one internal pocket to keep small essentials within easy reach.
Q: When was the Romantique line produced? A: Romantique pieces sit within Dior’s John Galliano era, and many examples date to the mid‑2000s. Documented pieces from around 2006–2007 exist, so this style is typically considered a vintage Y2K-era design.
Q: Where will I find the Dior date code and what does it mean? A: On most Dior bags from this era, the date code is embossed on the reverse of the interior leather brand tab or on a small leather tab inside a pocket. The alphanumeric code indicates production location and date. If you would like help locating or interpreting it, contact us and we’ll guide you.
Q: How should I care for the Trotter canvas and leather trim? A: Wipe the canvas gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth and let it air‑dry. Avoid soaking or harsh cleaners. Condition the leather trim sparingly with a neutral product, keeping treatments away from the canvas. Store the bag loosely stuffed in a cool, dry place, and place tissue between the chain and canvas to prevent imprints.
Q: Is the decorative bow removable? A: No, the bow is a fixed decorative detail and is not designed to be removed.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed in the Product information section on this page. For this piece, no additional items are listed.
Q: What is the condition of this bag? A: Overall good condition. The leather trim shows some discolouration, the corners and hems show signs of wear, the interior has light traces of use, and the silver‑tone hardware remains shiny with light scratches. Please review all photos for details.
