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 this denim Saddle bag? A: With approximate measurements of 21 × 17 × 5 cm, it comfortably holds a standard smartphone, a small cardholder or compact wallet, keys, lipstick and slim sunglasses. Larger phones with bulky cases (e.g. “Max/Plus” sizes) may be a tight fit due to the curved silhouette and zip opening—packing slim items is recommended.
Q: Is this considered the Mini or the Small size? A: Naming can vary by era and retailer, but based on the measurements it aligns closely with Dior’s commonly referenced Mini sizing (around 21 × 18 × 5 cm). For the best guidance, rely on the exact measurements provided here.
Q: Can I wear it crossbody or add a longer strap? A: This vintage piece is designed for the shoulder with a single, non‑adjustable strap and is sold without a longer strap. Some Saddle models accept an add‑on strap via the side rings; compatibility varies by edition. If you choose to add one, use lightweight loads and seek professional advice to avoid damaging the bag. A Retro Tale does not modify items.
Q: What type of closure does this one have? A: This denim edition features a top zip closure, which differs from the classic flap style found on many Saddle bags. The zip helps keep contents secure while maintaining the signature silhouette.
Q: How should I care for the denim and leather trim? A: Gently brush or lint‑roll the denim to remove dust, and spot clean with a barely damp, soft cloth—avoid soaking. Consider a fabric protector on the denim only (never on leather or hardware). Keep away from rain and humidity, and store stuffed in a breathable dust bag, out of direct sunlight.
Q: Can the denim transfer colour or pick up dye? A: Denim can be prone to colour transfer both ways. Avoid prolonged rubbing against light fabrics, and be cautious with new dark garments. If the bag becomes damp, blot immediately—moisture can increase dye migration.
Q: How do you authenticate this Dior bag and where is the date code? A: Dior bags typically have a leather logo tag stamped “Christian Dior PARIS” with “Made in Italy/Spain/etc.” The date code is usually on the reverse of that tag or on a small leather tab inside a pocket. Codes and fonts vary by year and model. A Retro Tale conducts multi‑point authentication across materials, stitching, stamps and hardware; additional details can be provided on request.
Q: What is included with this purchase? A: Everything included is listed under the product information on this page. This piece is sold as shown; no additional items are included unless explicitly stated in the product information.
Q: Where is this bag made? A: This item is stamped Made in Italy, consistent with many vintage Dior Saddle bags from this era.
