Perfect for weekend getaways and summer garden parties, this white Christian Dior Cannage Boston bag brings polished elegance to daytime looks. With its Boston silhouette and rolled handles, it complements crisp linens and light tailoring from brunch to gallery visits.
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 Cannage Boston Bag? A: With approximate dimensions of 27 × 15 × 12 cm, it comfortably holds a long wallet, smartphone, keys, sunglasses case, small cosmetics pouch and an A5 notebook. A compact water bottle can fit horizontally. It is not intended for laptops or larger tablets; please refer to the Measurements on this page to compare with your essentials.
Q: Does this bag come with a shoulder strap? A: This piece is designed to be carried by hand via dual rolled leather handles and does not include a detachable shoulder strap. The drop is approximately 10 cm, as listed in the Measurements. If a strap or other items are included, they will be specified in the product information.
Q: What is Dior’s Cannage quilting? A: Cannage is Dior’s signature lattice topstitching, inspired by the canework of Napoleon III chairs. It gives the leather a softly structured, padded look while remaining elegant and timeless.
Q: How should I care for white Cannage leather? A: Avoid prolonged contact with dark denim or freshly dyed fabrics to minimise colour transfer. Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth after use; if lightly dampened by rain, blot and let it air-dry away from heat. Use a colourless, leather-appropriate conditioner sparingly. Store the bag lightly stuffed in its dust bag, out of direct sunlight, and avoid overfilling to preserve the quilting.
Q: Where is the Dior date code and what does it indicate? A: Authentic Dior bags typically have a leather tab inside with the heat stamp on one side and a date/serial code on the reverse. The letters and numbers indicate factory and production timing. We are happy to provide close-up photos or help you locate and interpret the code on request.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this item? A: Every piece undergoes multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, heat stamps, hardware engravings and date codes, compared with brand references and our archive. We guarantee the authenticity of all items we sell. Documentation included (such as cards or booklets) is listed in the product information, but the guarantee does not rely on paperwork alone.
Q: Is this bag suitable for daily use? A: Yes. The compact Boston silhouette with a secure zip-top and interior pocket keeps daily essentials organised. As with all light-coloured leather, mindful use helps maintain its appearance over time.
Q: What is the expected condition of this bag? A: It is graded Good overall, showing light signs of use. There is some scuffing on the corners, the interior shows light use, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches. Please review the photos and Condition notes on this page.
Q: Is this a vintage model and from which era? A: Cannage Boston bags were especially popular in the 2000s. This example is a vintage piece. The internal date code can help narrow the production period; contact us if you would like assistance reading it.
Q: What is included with this listing? A: Everything included is detailed in the product information. For this listing, it includes a dust bag, authenticity card and brand booklets.
