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 of this Diorama and what will it hold? A: The bag measures approximately 25 × 16 × 8 cm. It comfortably fits a large smartphone, a compact or slim long wallet, keys, and a few small essentials like lipstick or hand sanitiser. It is not intended for A4 documents or a full‑size tablet. Capacity depends on how you pack—please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact figures.
Q: Can I wear it crossbody and on the shoulder? A: Yes. The chain‑link strap can be worn long as a crossbody or doubled for a shorter shoulder carry. The listed strap measurement is approximately 60 cm when worn long; actual drop on the body will vary with height and build.
Q: Is the Diorama still in production? A: The Diorama was introduced for Spring/Summer 2015 and has since been discontinued by Dior. It remains sought after on the resale market as a modern classic with a structured flap silhouette.
Q: What is the Cannage motif seen on this bag? A: Cannage is a long‑standing Dior signature inspired by the woven cane of Napoleon III chairs used in the house’s early couture salons at 30 Avenue Montaigne. On the Diorama it appears as an enlarged geometric pattern that highlights the bag’s clean lines.
Q: What is the material and finish of this piece? A: It is crafted in metallic silver‑tone leather with silver‑tone hardware and a push‑lock flap closure. The interior is in dark leather with an internal zipped pocket for small valuables.
Q: Any care tips for metallic leather? A: Handle gently to avoid abrasion, as metallic finishes can show scuffs more readily. Keep away from rough or dark‑dye fabrics to minimise colour transfer, avoid oils and alcohol‑based products, and store the bag lightly padded in a breathable dust bag. Wipe with a soft, dry cloth; avoid heavy conditioners on metallic finishes.
Q: What comes with this item? A: Everything included is listed under product information. This listing currently notes no additional items are included. If you need clarification, contact us and we will be happy to confirm what is present.
Q: What is the condition of this bag? A: External: good with a visible scuff mark on one edge. Internal: very good with scratches and signs of wear to the lining. Hardware: shiny with light surface scratches. Please review the photos for details.
Q: How secure is the closure and what is the inside layout? A: The flap secures with a push‑lock clasp. Inside, the Diorama typically features a structured main compartment with a zipped pocket for organisation, helping keep small items secure.
Q: How do you authenticate this Diorama? A: Dior bags usually feature an internal leather tag with a serial code; placement and format can vary by year. At A Retro Tale, every item is authenticated by our in‑house specialists using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, stamps, hardware, and codes. We stand behind the authenticity of all pieces we sell and can provide further details on request.
