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 clutch bag? A: With approximate dimensions of 28 x 14 x 3 cm, it is best suited to essentials such as a phone, card holder, keys, lipstick and a few slim daily items. It is a slim clutch, so bulkier pieces such as a large wallet, water bottle or tablet are unlikely to fit comfortably.
Q: Is this bag designed to be carried by hand or worn on the shoulder? A: This piece is designed as a clutch and is intended to be carried in hand or tucked under the arm. No strap or handle is included with this item.
Q: What is the Dior Trotter pattern? A: The Trotter pattern is a vintage Dior monogram-style canvas motif that collectors closely associate with the house’s iconic logo look. It gives this clutch a distinctly archival feel and is one of the most recognisable finishes in vintage Dior.
Q: Does this clutch come with any original extras? A: This item is listed with no additional items included. For vintage Dior pieces, the absence of cards or extras is not unusual and does not by itself determine authenticity.
Q: How can I tell if a vintage Dior clutch is authentic? A: Vintage Dior bags are usually assessed through a combination of details rather than one single marker. Specialists typically review the canvas quality, leather trim, stitching, logo placement, interior labels, hardware finish and overall workmanship.
Q: How should I care for vintage Trotter canvas and leather trim? A: Gently wipe the canvas with a soft cloth and avoid over-wetting it. If needed, use a barely damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap, then wipe again with a clean damp cloth and dry it straight away. Keep the bag away from direct heat, heavy rain and prolonged sunlight, and use a trusted specialist for deeper cleaning or restoration.
Q: Are scratches on the hardware normal for a vintage piece? A: Yes. This clutch is described as having shiny hardware with scratches. Light marks on metal parts are common on pre-owned Dior pieces and are consistent with careful prior use.
Q: What condition is this clutch in overall? A: The exterior and interior are both noted as being in good condition with light traces of use. Overall, it presents as a well-kept vintage piece with expected signs of age rather than heavy wear.
Q: What should I know about the clasp closure on a vintage Dior clutch? A: A clasp closure should open and close securely without needing force. As with many vintage bags, hardware can become stiff over time, so it is best to handle it gently and have it checked by a trusted repair specialist if it ever feels unusually tight or loose.
Q: Where was this clutch made? A: The country of origin label indicates that this piece was made in France.
