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 size is this Christian Dior Medium Oblique Book Tote Bag? A: This bag measures approximately 36 x 27 x 16 cm, with a handle drop of about 16 cm. It offers a roomy medium silhouette that works well for daily essentials while still feeling more manageable than a large travel tote.
Q: What typically fits inside this medium size? A: The medium Book Tote is generally suited to everyday items such as a wallet, phone, sunglasses, keys, a cosmetic pouch, a notebook and a water bottle. A slim laptop or tablet may also fit depending on its exact size and whether it is in a bulky sleeve, so we recommend comparing your device to the listed measurements before purchase.
Q: Can this bag be carried on the shoulder? A: Yes, many shoppers choose the medium Book Tote because it can be carried by hand and may also sit on the shoulder. This piece has dual top handles with an approximate 16 cm drop, so shoulder comfort will depend on your frame and what you are wearing.
Q: Does this bag have a zip closure or interior pockets? A: This piece has the classic open tote format. The interior is unlined, and no additional inner pockets or zip compartments are noted in the product information.
Q: Is the medium Book Tote better for everyday use or travel? A: For most people, the medium size is the most versatile option for everyday use, work essentials and day trips. It gives you generous space without the oversized feel of the large version, which is often preferred more for travel or overnight packing.
Q: How should I care for the pink Dior Oblique canvas? A: To help preserve the canvas, avoid overfilling the bag, rough surfaces, heavy moisture and dark fabrics that may cause colour transfer. For routine care, use a soft dry cloth and store the bag in its dust bag when not in use, ideally lightly stuffed to help maintain its shape. It is best to avoid harsh cleaners or frequent use of wipes on textile areas.
Q: What condition is this specific bag in? A: This vintage piece is listed in very good condition, with light traces of use noted on both the exterior and interior. As with all pre-owned items, minor signs of wear should be expected and are part of its character.
Q: What is included with this item? A: A dust bag is included. Everything that comes with the item is shown under the product information, so if something is not listed there, it should not be assumed to be included.
Q: Where was this bag made, and how is authenticity checked? A: The country of origin label states Italy. For pre-owned Dior pieces, authenticity is typically assessed through a combination of material quality, embroidery and construction, proportions, signature details, interior markings and other model-specific features reviewed by trained experts.
