Perfect for gallery openings, cocktails, and chic city afternoons, this grey Christian Dior Diorissimo Saddle Bag brings effortless polish from day to night—elevating a blazer-and-denim look as beautifully as a little black dress.
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 Diorissimo Saddle Bag (Small)? A: With approximate measurements of 20 × 15 × 4 cm, it comfortably carries a smartphone, compact or cardholder wallet, keys, and a few small cosmetics. It is too compact for a long continental wallet, tablet, or water bottle. Capacity varies with how you pack—use soft, slim items for best results.
Q: Can it be worn crossbody or is the strap adjustable? A: This vintage model features a single flat shoulder strap with an approximate 19 cm drop and is designed for shoulder carry. The strap is not adjustable or removable, so crossbody wear is not intended on this piece. Modern reissue Saddles may have detachable/adjustable straps, but this one does not.
Q: Is this the early-2000s vintage Saddle or the newer reissue? A: This is a vintage Diorissimo canvas Saddle silhouette. The Saddle bag was introduced under John Galliano in 1999 and later brought back to the runway in 2018; this example predates the modern reissue updates.
Q: Where is the Dior date code and what if I can’t find it? A: On Saddle bags, the date code is typically located inside the interior pocket on or behind the leather tag beneath the heat stamp. On vintage pieces the code can be faint or tucked deep in the pocket; its absence alone does not confirm inauthenticity. A Retro Tale authenticates every item using multi-point checks of materials, stitching, stamps, and hardware.
Q: How should I care for the Diorissimo canvas and leather trim? A: Gently brush away loose dust, then spot clean the canvas with a soft, slightly damp cloth and a tiny amount of mild pH-neutral soap; blot and allow to air dry away from heat. Wipe leather trim with a dry soft cloth and condition sparingly when needed. Avoid harsh cleaners, alcohol, or soaking. Store lightly stuffed in a breathable dust bag to help maintain the shape.
Q: Is the bag water-resistant? A: No. Jacquard canvas and leather are not waterproof. Avoid heavy rain and prolonged moisture. If the bag gets wet, blot gently with a soft, dry cloth and let it air dry naturally. Keep away from direct heat sources and dark-dyed fabrics that may transfer colour.
Q: Will a large smartphone fit with a case? A: Most modern smartphones fit, including many larger-screen models in a slim case. Bulky cases or accessories may reduce space for other items due to the bag’s curved profile. Comparing your phone to the listed measurements is the best guide.
Q: Does a long wallet fit inside? A: A full-length continental wallet is generally too long for this size. A compact wallet or cardholder is recommended to maximise space and maintain the bag’s shape.
Q: What accessories are included with this item? A: This piece is offered with no accessories. All inclusions are always listed under the Accessories section; if an item like a dust bag or authenticity card isn’t listed there, it is not included.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously examined by our in-house experts using multi-point authentication, including inspection of materials, stitching, hardware, heat stamps, and date codes where present. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide additional details on request.
