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 Christian Dior Cannage Panarea Tote Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 27 x 20 x 13 cm and a 15 cm handle drop, this tote is best suited to daily essentials such as a long wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses, a small cosmetics pouch and other compact items. It is a practical everyday size, but it is not ideal for most laptops or larger A4 documents.
Q: Is this a good everyday Dior tote? A: Yes. The Panarea is known for its lightweight feel, structured shape and easy-to-carry tote design, which makes it a popular choice for day-to-day use. This piece also has a coated canvas exterior, which is generally more practical for regular wear than very delicate materials.
Q: What is Cannage? A: Cannage is Dior’s signature quilted motif, giving the bag its recognisable textured look. On this piece, the pattern appears in pink coated canvas and is paired with silver-tone hardware for a classic Dior finish.
Q: Can this bag be carried on the shoulder? A: The handle drop is approximately 15 cm, so it may sit on the shoulder for some wearers, especially with lighter clothing. For others, it may feel more comfortable carried in the hand or over the arm.
Q: Does this bag come with a shoulder strap? A: No detachable strap is listed for this item. This style is designed with dual top handles, and the product information for this piece includes a dust bag only.
Q: Is coated canvas durable and easy to care for? A: Coated canvas is generally appreciated for being lightweight and easier to maintain than many delicate leathers or fabrics. To care for a vintage piece like this, wipe it gently with a soft dry cloth, avoid overfilling, and keep it away from prolonged moisture, heat and direct sunlight.
Q: What is the condition of this bag? A: This item is listed in very good condition overall. The exterior shows minor wear on the corners, the interior has light traces of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches.
Q: What is included with this item? A: The product information lists a dust bag. If an authenticity card, box or other extras are not listed in the product information, they are not included with this piece.
Q: Where was this bag made? A: The country of origin listed for this bag is Italy.
Q: Does this bag have a serial number or date code? A: No serial number is listed on this product page. Many Dior bags from this era may have an interior date code rather than a visible exterior serial reference, so if you would like that detail checked on the item in hand, it is best to ask before purchase.
Q: How do you authenticate a vintage Dior bag like this? A: At A Retro Tale, pre-owned luxury pieces are checked for overall construction, materials, stitching, hardware, branding details and other model-specific characteristics. For Dior bags, interior labels or date-code details may also be reviewed when present.
