This Christian Dior Riviera Raffia Pouch in beige offers an easy, elegant choice for summer lunches, holiday evenings or organising essentials inside a larger tote. Made in Italy and presented in very good condition, it shows light traces of use to the exterior and interior, with shiny hardware marked by light scratches.
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 Christian Dior Riviera Raffia Pouch? A: With approximate measurements of 22 x 16 x 5.5 cm, it is best suited to small daily essentials such as a phone, cardholder, keys, lipstick, compact and other travel-sized beauty items. It works well as a day-to-evening clutch or as an organiser inside a larger bag. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.
Q: Is this a full-size handbag or a compact pouch? A: This piece is best described as a compact pouch/clutch rather than a full-size handbag. It is designed for essentials only and is ideal when you want to travel light.
Q: Does it come with a strap, wristlet or handle? A: No strap, wristlet or handle is listed in the product information for this item. It is therefore best carried in the hand or placed inside a larger tote.
Q: Can I use this pouch for make-up or travel items? A: Yes. Pouches in this shape are commonly used for cosmetics, toiletries and other small travel essentials. Just avoid carrying heavy or sharp items so the raffia keeps its shape and finish.
Q: How durable is raffia for everyday use? A: Raffia is lightweight and can be very practical for light regular use, but it is naturally more delicate than leather or coated canvas. It is best suited to essentials and should not be overfilled, crushed or dragged against rough surfaces.
Q: How should I care for raffia? A: Gently remove dust with a soft dry cloth or very soft brush. For minor marks, lightly dab with a barely damp cloth and let the pouch air-dry naturally. Avoid soaking, rubbing, harsh cleaners and prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or heat.
Q: What should I do if the pouch gets wet? A: Blot moisture straight away with a clean dry cloth and let it dry naturally away from radiators, hairdryers and direct sun. Do not twist or rub the raffia, as this can distort the weave.
Q: Does this item have a serial number, and how is it authenticated? A: No serial number is listed in the product information for this piece. Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully checked by our experts using materials, construction, logo details, hardware and overall finish, and we stand behind the authenticity of every item we sell.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This item is sold with no additional inclusions. Everything included is listed in the product information on this page; if something is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: What condition is this pouch in? A: This piece is listed in very good condition with light traces of use externally and internally. The hardware remains shiny with light scratches. As with many pre-owned raffia pieces, small irregularities in texture can be part of the material’s natural character.
