Very Good Condition
Made for chic city days, this Dior Mini Book Tote in blue Dior Oblique embroidery adds signature style to brunch dates, gallery visits and afternoon shopping. Carry by the dual top handles or go hands-free with the detachable strap; its compact, open-top silhouette keeps just the essentials while elevating casual to smart-casual looks.
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 Dior Mini Book Tote? A: As a compact micro tote, it’s perfect for essentials: a large smartphone (including most Pro/Max models), a slim cardholder or small wallet, keys, lipstick, AirPods and a few small cosmetics. A passport generally fits. Continental (long) wallets, small tablets, A5 notebooks and water bottles typically do not. Please compare your items with the Measurements listed (approx. 23 × 13 × 7 cm) or ask us for a tailored fit check for this exact piece.
Q: Will my iPhone Pro/Max fit? A: Yes—most Pro/Max phones fit comfortably, though very bulky cases may make the fit snug. If you’d like certainty, share your phone’s dimensions and we’ll test against this bag’s interior for you.
Q: Does it have a closure or interior pockets? A: The Mini Book Tote has an open‑top design without a zip closure, and layouts are generally minimal with a single open compartment. For commuting or travel, we recommend using a small zip pouch inside for valuables and keeping the bag upright.
Q: Can I wear it crossbody and is the strap adjustable? A: This piece comes with a detachable, adjustable shoulder strap noted under “Accessories.” The strap drop listed is approximately 58 cm, suitable for shoulder or high crossbody wear on many users. The dual top handles (approx. 8 cm drop) allow hand or short‑hand carry.
Q: How structured is the Mini Book Tote? Will it stand upright? A: Dior’s embroidered canvas Book Tote is softly structured but holds its shape well when lightly filled. It generally stands upright on a flat surface. To preserve structure, avoid overloading and consider a lightweight organiser insert if you prefer more rigidity.
Q: What materials and colour does this piece feature, and where is it made? A: This item is crafted in blue Dior Oblique embroidered canvas with the ‘Christian Dior’ signature at the front. Our listing indicates Made in Italy. Please review the photos for the exact finish and hardware details of this bag.
Q: How should I care for the embroidered canvas and hardware? A: Keep the bag away from moisture, oils and prolonged direct sunlight, and be mindful of colour transfer from dark denim. Use a soft lint roller or very gentle fabric brush to lift surface dust; spot‑clean carefully with a slightly damp cloth and blot (don’t rub). Test any fabric‑safe cleaner on a discreet area first. Store the bag lightly stuffed, upright, in a breathable dust bag, and protect hardware from abrasion to minimise hairline scratches.
Q: Is the Mini Book Tote heavy? A: The embroidered canvas construction keeps it relatively lightweight for daily use. Actual weight can vary slightly by season and strap configuration—feel free to ask if you’d like us to weigh this exact piece.
Q: Where are the Dior brand markings and codes located, and how is dating handled? A: Authentic Dior bags feature a “Christian Dior Paris” mark and a country‑of‑origin stamp (commonly Italy). Many Dior bags include an interior date code on a small tag; placement and format vary by model and year. Book Tote interiors are minimal, so code location can differ. We’re happy to share close‑up photos and help interpret the markings for this exact piece.
Q: What accessories are included and how do you authenticate? A: Included items are listed under “Accessories”—for this piece, we note a detachable strap. If an accessory isn’t mentioned, it isn’t included; just ask us to confirm. Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes rigorous, multi‑point authentication by our in‑house experts, assessing materials, stitching, embroidery, hardware, stamps/codes and overall construction. We stand behind the authenticity of every piece we sell.
