Perfect for chic city days and gallery evenings, this vintage Christian Dior Large Saddle Bag in beige canvas with brown leather trim and antique gold-tone hardware adds effortless elegance to brunch, meetings or dinner, carrying essentials with iconic flair.
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 Large Saddle Bag? A: With its sculptural shape and measurements listed on this page, it comfortably carries daily essentials such as a mid‑size wallet, smartphone, keys, a compact, slim sunglasses (without a bulky case), and small items in the zipped pocket. Capacity varies with how you pack and the curved profile—please refer to the Measurements and photos for guidance.
Q: Will an 11‑inch tablet or A4 documents fit? A: A slim 11‑inch tablet can usually fit, especially without a thick case. A4 papers may fit only when placed diagonally and can be tight under the curved flap, so we don’t recommend relying on it for regular document carry.
Q: Can this be worn crossbody? A: This model features a single adjustable shoulder strap (approx. 48 cm as listed) designed primarily for shoulder carry. Crossbody wear is unlikely for most heights without a longer strap. The strap is adjustable but not designed to be removed; no additional straps are included.
Q: How secure is the magnetic flap closure—and is it safe for cards? A: The signature flap uses a magnetic fastening that keeps the bag closed during normal use. Modern chip‑enabled bank cards are generally unaffected by everyday magnets, but prolonged direct contact can demagnetise older magnetic‑stripe cards or hotel keys. To be safe, avoid storing cards right against the closure.
Q: What materials is this bag made from? A: It is crafted in beige canvas with brown leather trim and antique gold‑tone hardware, with a logo canvas lining and an internal zipped pocket. The combination offers a lightweight but structured feel with the classic Saddle silhouette.
Q: How should I care for the canvas and leather trim? A: Wipe the canvas gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth; avoid soaking, harsh cleaners, or coloured cloths that may transfer dye. Nourish leather trim sparingly with a neutral leather conditioner, keep away from prolonged sun/heat, and store loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag to maintain shape. Always test any product on a hidden area first.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under product information on this page. For this piece, no additional items are included. If you need clarification, please contact us and we’ll be happy to help.
Q: Is this an authentic Dior piece and how do you verify it? A: Yes. Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously authenticated by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, heat stamps and date/serial markings where present. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide further details on request.
Q: Where was this bag made? A: The country of origin label states Italy.
Q: What is the condition of this bag? A: Overall very good vintage condition with honest signs of wear: the canvas shows visible stains, the lining under the flap has some marks, and the hardware exhibits scratches and dullness. Please review all photos and the Condition notes for a complete overview.
