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 in this Dior Cannage D Buckle Tote? A: With approximate dimensions of 37 × 18 × 12.7 cm, it comfortably holds daily essentials such as a phone, long wallet, keys, sunglasses case, small cosmetics pouch, compact umbrella and a 500 ml water bottle laid horizontally. It may accommodate a slim tablet placed horizontally, but it is not designed for most laptops or A4 documents. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact sizing.
Q: Can it be worn on the shoulder? A: Yes, it can be carried by hand, in the crook of the arm, or on the shoulder over light layers. The handle drop is approximately 18 cm, giving a close-to-body carry typical of east–west totes.
Q: What are the closure and pocket details? A: The tote features a magnetic snap closure for quick access. Inside, there is a fabric-lined compartment with one zipped pocket for valuables, and there is an exterior slip pocket for items you need at hand.
Q: What is Cannage quilting and what is the leather like? A: Cannage is Dior’s signature quilt pattern inspired by the canework of Napoleon III chairs. On this vintage tote it is rendered in supple quilted leather with silver-tone D-buckle details, giving a softly structured silhouette suitable for everyday use.
Q: How should I care for the Cannage quilted leather? A: Wipe gently with a soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth and allow to dry naturally. Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture, heat and direct sunlight. With light colours like beige, be cautious of colour transfer from dark denim and freshly dyed fabrics. Store the bag stuffed to support the quilting and keep it in a breathable dust bag when not in use; avoid overfilling to prevent distortion of the quilting and seams.
Q: Where can I find the Dior date code/serial, and what does it look like? A: On most Dior bags from the 2000s onwards, the date code is heat-stamped on the back of the interior leather tag (often inside or near a pocket). Common newer formats show two numbers, two letters, and four numbers (for example 02-MA-0253), where the letters denote the factory and the last four digits encode month and year. Some earlier or vintage pieces may use different formats or show wear to the stamp. Our team verifies authenticity regardless of the code’s visibility and can share the code on request if present.
Q: Does this bag come with any additional items? A: This item is sold with no additional items. Everything included is listed under the product information section on this page. If you need clarification, please contact us prior to purchase.
Q: Can I attach a crossbody strap to the D buckles? A: The prominent D buckles are a fixed design feature for the handles and are not designed as strap attachment points. We do not recommend clipping aftermarket straps onto the hardware, as this may stress the leather and fittings.
Q: What is the condition of this specific piece? A: Overall very good. The exterior shows some rubbing on the corners and a small mark on the front pocket; the interior shows a light trace of use; hardware remains shiny with light surface scratches. Please review all photos and the condition notes for full details.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this bag? A: Every piece is vetted by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, quilting, logo stamps, hardware, date code, and construction. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide additional details on request.
