Perfect for a gallery opening or cocktails, this Small Dior Saddle lends instant polish. The navy Dior Oblique jacquard and gold‑tone details elevate jeans or a blazer, while the compact, vintage silhouette keeps essentials neatly organised for chic day‑to‑night plans.
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 in the Christian Dior Small Saddle Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 20 × 16 × 5 cm, it suits compact essentials such as a small smartphone, slim cardholder, keys and a few cosmetics. Larger wallets and oversized phones are unlikely to fit comfortably. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact sizing.
Q: Will my phone fit? A: Compact smartphones may fit, but larger or “Plus/Max” models generally will not. As interior capacity varies by what you carry, we recommend comparing your phone’s dimensions to the bag’s height and width and allowing a little room for other items.
Q: Can this be worn crossbody? A: This vintage small zip style features a single flat shoulder strap with an approximate 19 cm drop and is designed for shoulder or hand carry. It does not include a long strap and typically has no dedicated crossbody hardware. Some owners add third‑party straps to certain Saddle styles, but we recommend using the bag as designed to preserve condition.
Q: How secure is the closure? A: This piece has a top zip closure leading to one main compartment, offering secure storage for small daily essentials.
Q: What is the interior layout? A: It has one main compartment lined in blue nylon without additional interior pockets, which helps keep the silhouette compact and streamlined.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed in the product information section on this page. This listing indicates no additional items are included. If you need clarification, contact us and we’ll be happy to help.
Q: What is the material and how should I care for it? A: The exterior is blue Dior Oblique jacquard canvas with blue leather trim. Avoid heavy rain and colour transfer from dark denim. For routine care, gently wipe with a soft, dry or slightly damp lint‑free cloth; allow to air dry away from heat. For deeper cleaning or stain removal, consult a professional bag care service. Store the bag lightly filled in a breathable dust bag to help it keep its shape.
Q: How should I look after the hardware? A: The gold‑tone hardware may show light surface scratches with wear. Avoid metal polishes or harsh chemicals; simply wipe with a clean, dry microfibre cloth after use to minimise tarnish from skin oils.
Q: Does this bag have a date code and where might it be? A: Many vintage Dior bags have a leather brand tag inside; the front is stamped “Christian Dior PARIS Made in Italy,” and the date/serial code is often heat‑stamped on the reverse or on a small tag within a pocket. Codes can vary by era and may fade with use. Regardless of visibility, every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously authenticated by our in‑house experts.
Q: Is this the same as the modern reissue? A: The Saddle design debuted under John Galliano around 1999/2000 and was reintroduced by Dior in 2018. Contemporary versions often feature a flap with magnetic closure and may include removable long straps, whereas this vintage small zip style has a top zip and short shoulder strap.
