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 are the measurements and overall capacity of this Street Chic Boston bag? A: The bag measures approximately 30 × 19 × 15 cm. It comfortably carries daily essentials such as a long wallet, smartphone, keys, sunglasses, a small cosmetics pouch, and a compact umbrella. A slim 500 ml bottle fits best laid horizontally to maintain the shape.
Q: Can it be worn crossbody or on the shoulder? A: This model is designed as a handheld Boston. It has dual adjustable top handles with an approximate drop of 11 cm, suited to carrying by hand or in the crook of the arm rather than crossbody or on the shoulder.
Q: Will it fit a tablet or A4 documents? A: Most tablets up to around 11 inches can fit without a bulky case, but larger 12.9/13‑inch models are generally too large. A4 paper (210 × 297 mm) will not fit upright due to the 19 cm height; a slim A4 sleeve may fit diagonally but the curved zip opening can limit access. Please compare your device or document sleeve to the Measurements on this page before purchase.
Q: Which collection and era is this from? A: The Street Chic line is a mid‑2000s design from the John Galliano era, combining Dior’s classic Diorissimo/Oblique canvas with distinctive branded hardware. This style is now discontinued and considered vintage.
Q: Where is the date code and how do I read it? A: Dior typically stamps a date code on the reverse of the interior leather label or on a small leather tab inside a pocket. On 2000s pieces the format is often two numbers, two letters, and four numbers; the letters indicate the factory/country, and the last four digits encode the month and year. Note that a correct code alone does not guarantee authenticity; assess materials, stitching and hardware holistically or seek a professional opinion.
Q: How should I care for the Dior Oblique canvas and leather trim? A: For routine care, gently brush off dust and wipe with a dry microfibre cloth. For light marks on canvas, dab (do not rub) with a barely damp soft cloth and a tiny amount of mild soap, then blot dry; avoid soaking and strong cleaners. Keep leather trim conditioned sparingly with a suitable leather lotion, avoid prolonged sun/heat or humidity, and store stuffed in a breathable dust bag to maintain shape. For stubborn stains, use a trusted professional bag care service.
Q: What product information is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information section on this page. This piece is listed as sold without extras; if an item such as a dust bag or card is not stated there, it is not included.
Q: Where was this bag made? A: The internal label states Italy. Dior produces many leather goods in Italy and Spain; the country is also reflected by the letters within the date code on contemporary/vintage pieces.
Q: What are the notable materials and features of this specific piece? A: Beige Dior Oblique canvas with red leather trim, silver‑tone hardware, dual adjustable top handles, top zip closure, and a beige fabric interior with one pocket. It is a vintage, discontinued model.
Q: What should I know about its condition before buying? A: Overall very good vintage condition with honest signs of wear: some fraying on the straps, minor marks to the lining, and light surface scratches to hardware. Please review the photos carefully; they form part of the product information for this one‑of‑a‑kind item.
