Very Good Condition
Perfect for evening events or chic city days, this vintage Lady Dior in leopard-printed velvet brings bold sophistication to any outfit, equally striking with a little black dress or sharp tailoring.
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 Medium Lady Dior? A: Based on its measurements of approximately 24 × 20 × 11 cm, it comfortably holds a long wallet, smartphone, sunglasses, keys, and a small cosmetics pouch. A 500 ml water bottle can fit on its side and an iPad mini may fit without a bulky case, but the structured top zip means the opening is narrower, so packing slim items works best. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.
Q: Can I wear this bag crossbody? A: This piece includes a detachable shoulder strap with an approximate 44 cm drop. On most heights this sits best as a shoulder strap rather than a true crossbody, where it may ride high. The dual top handles are ideal for hand or crook‑of‑arm carry.
Q: What is the closure and interior layout of this bag? A: It features a top zip closure, black Cannage fabric lining, and one internal zipped pocket for small valuables—practical for daily organisation while keeping contents secure.
Q: Is velvet a practical material for everyday use? A: Velvet offers a rich, tactile finish but is more delicate than smooth calfskin. Avoid rain, oils and lotions, and prolonged rubbing against rough fabrics (including dark denim) to minimise colour transfer and pile crushing. Rotate use and avoid overfilling to preserve the shape and surface.
Q: How should I clean and store a velvet handbag? A: Gently brush the surface with a clean, soft lint brush to lift the pile and remove surface dust. Blot—never rub—any moisture immediately and allow to air‑dry away from heat. For marks or deep cleaning, consult a professional experienced with velvet. Store the bag lightly stuffed in a breathable dust bag, with the strap detached to prevent imprints.
Q: Will the leopard print wear off with time? A: Printed velvet can show light scuffing or flattening at corners and high‑contact points over time. Minimising friction (e.g., against zips, metal edges, or coarse textiles) and avoiding overstuffing will help maintain the print and texture.
Q: How does the Medium compare to other Lady Dior sizes? A: The Medium sits between the Small/My ABC and the Large. It is widely considered the classic, most versatile size—elegant for occasions yet spacious enough for daily essentials.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed in the product information section on this page. For this bag, a detachable shoulder strap is included. If items such as a dust bag or care booklet are not listed there, they are not included—please contact us if you would like us to confirm specifics.
Q: Does this bag have a serial number, and how do you authenticate it? A: Dior bags use an internal date code on a leather tag rather than an external serial number; on vintage pieces this code may be faint or partially worn. Every item at A Retro Tale is thoroughly examined by our experts—materials, stitching, stamps, hardware and construction are all checked—and we stand behind the authenticity of every piece we sell.
