Perfect for city days and understated evenings, this vintage Christian Dior Flight Bag in black leather with silver-tone hardware brings effortless polish to work meetings, lunch dates and gallery openings. Dual rolled handles and a useful front pocket keep essentials at hand, while the Dior Oblique-lined interior and magnetic snap closure ensure a secure carry. In very good condition.
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 Flight Bag? A: With a slim, baguette‑style profile (see Measurements on this page), it comfortably carries a large smartphone, a compact or continental wallet, keys, slim sunglasses in a soft case and a small cosmetics pouch. A5 diaries/notebooks can usually fit when placed horizontally; A4 documents and tablets generally do not fit comfortably. If you’d like a tailored fit check for this exact piece, just ask and we’ll test it for you.
Q: Is there a shoulder strap? Can I wear it crossbody? A: This vintage Flight Bag is a top‑handle style with dual rolled handles (approx. 15 cm drop). It does not include a shoulder strap and is not designed for crossbody wear. Some Flight‑line iterations were released with straps, but this specific piece is for hand or crook‑of‑arm carry.
Q: How secure is the closure and what pockets does it have? A: It features a magnetic snap top for quick everyday access, one exterior front pocket and an interior zipped pocket. The interior is lined in black Dior Oblique canvas. For commuting or travel, we recommend keeping valuables in the zipped pocket and storing the bag upright.
Q: What is the Dior Flight line, and is it still produced? A: The Flight collection is from the mid‑2000s era and is now discontinued. It’s sought after for aviation‑inspired details and mixed materials, making pre‑loved pieces like this a great way to own the look.
Q: Where are the brand markings and the code located? A: Authentic Dior bags typically have an interior leather tag stamped “Christian Dior PARIS” with the country of origin. The date/serial code is usually heat‑stamped on the reverse of that tag or on a small leather tab inside a pocket. This bag is labelled Made in Italy and bears the code 07‑BO‑1015.
Q: What does the code 07‑BO‑1015 mean? A: “BO” denotes an Italian factory. On many Dior bags, the final four digits encode month and year (first and third digits for month; second and fourth for year). Interpreted this way, “1015” indicates November 2005. As formats vary slightly by era, dating should be considered alongside construction and material details—feel free to ask and we’ll walk you through this piece.
Q: How should I care for the grained leather and the Oblique canvas lining? A: Keep the bag dry and away from heavy rain. Wipe the leather with a soft, dry cloth and condition sparingly with a neutral cream after testing on a discreet spot. Be mindful of colour transfer from dark denim. For the canvas lining, dust gently with a clean microfibre cloth; avoid soaking—spot‑clean lightly and air‑dry away from heat. Store the bag upright, lightly stuffed, in a breathable dust bag, and pad the handles to prevent pressure marks.
Q: Will the magnetic snap affect my credit cards or phone? A: Modern smartphones are not affected by small handbag magnets. EMV‑chip bank cards are generally fine too; however, prolonged direct contact can degrade older magnetic‑stripe cards (e.g., some hotel keys). For peace of mind, keep stripe‑only cards in the interior zip pocket away from the clasp area.
Q: Is the bag heavy and how does it carry? A: As a compact, structured top‑handle in grained leather, it feels light‑to‑medium in hand. The rolled handles are comfortable for hand or crook‑of‑arm carry. If you’d like an exact weight or try‑on guidance, we’re happy to help.
Q: What accessories are included and how do you authenticate? A: This listing includes no accessories unless stated under “Accessories.” Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes rigorous, multi‑point authentication by our in‑house experts, assessing materials, stitching, hardware, stamps/date code and overall construction. We stand behind the authenticity of every piece we sell.
