Q: What can I fit in this bag? A: With approximate measurements of 33 × 29 × 9 cm, it comfortably holds daily essentials such as a long wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses, a small water bottle, a cosmetics pouch, and a tablet. A4 documents fit; a slim 13-inch laptop may also fit, though the zip opening can be snug for taller folders. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact sizing.
Q: Can the strap be worn crossbody? A: This model has a single adjustable shoulder strap. With a strap measurement of about 35 cm, it is intended for shoulder carry and will be short for crossbody on most people. Please check the Strap measurement to see if the drop suits your preference.

Q: Is the Trotter canvas the same as Dior Oblique? A: Yes. Trotter is the widely used vintage name for Dior’s Oblique monogram, a jacquard motif introduced in the late 1960s and revived in the late 1990s–2000s. This bag features the woven Oblique/Trotter canvas with leather trim and silver-tone hardware.
Q: Is the material coated canvas? A: No. Dior’s Oblique/Trotter is a jacquard-woven textile rather than coated canvas. It is durable yet, as a fabric, benefits from gentle handling to avoid snags and moisture exposure.
Q: How should I care for the jacquard and leather trim? A: Dust the fabric with a soft brush or microfibre cloth after use. For light marks, dab—do not rub—with a barely damp white cloth and let it air-dry. Avoid soaking, harsh cleaners, and prolonged sun or heat. Store the bag lightly stuffed in a breathable dust bag to help maintain its shape and colour, and keep it away from humidity and potential colour transfer (e.g., dark denim).
Q: Where is the Dior date code and how do I read it? A: Most Dior bags from this era have a date code stamped on the reverse of the leather brand tag or inside a pocket. It is a mix of letters and numbers that relate to production details (factory and timing). The code alone does not guarantee authenticity; it should be assessed alongside materials, stitching, stamps and overall construction.
Q: Can the strap be worn crossbody? A: This model has a single adjustable shoulder strap. With a strap measurement of about 35 cm, it is intended for shoulder carry and will be short for crossbody on most people. Please check the Strap measurement to see if the drop suits your preference.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information section. For this piece, the product information indicates that no additional items are included.
Q: What is the condition of this bag? A: Overall Good vintage condition. There is visible fraying on the corners and wear on the leather details; the lining has some small stains; and the silver-tone hardware shows scratches and dullness. Please review the photos for close-up details.
Q: Where was this bag made? A: The origin label states Italy.
Q: Will the burgundy colour look exactly the same in person? A: We aim to photograph accurately, but colours can vary slightly due to screen settings and the natural ageing of vintage textiles and leathers.
