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? A: With approximate dimensions of 21 × 15 × 4 cm and a top zip, it suits daily essentials such as a standard smartphone up to around 15 cm tall, a compact wallet or cardholder, keys and a few small cosmetics. Larger plus‑size phones and bulky items may be a tight fit; packing slim items optimises space.
Q: Can it be worn crossbody? A: This vintage Dior Saddle variant features a single flat shoulder strap with an approximate 18 cm drop, designed for hand or shoulder carry rather than crossbody. Contemporary re‑issues can come with removable longer straps, but this piece does not include a long strap or crossbody hardware. Any aftermarket solutions should be used with care to avoid stressing the leather.
Q: What is the exterior material, and how should I care for it? A: The exterior is Diorissimo (also known as Dior Oblique) jacquard canvas with tan leather trim. As a woven textile, jacquard benefits from gentle care: avoid prolonged rain and abrasive surfaces, blot any moisture with a soft cloth, allow to air dry naturally, and store lightly filled in a breathable dust bag away from direct sunlight.
Q: How durable is the Dior Oblique/Diorissimo jacquard compared with coated canvas? A: It is a robust woven fabric for daily use, but being textile rather than coated, it can be more susceptible to surface snags, pilling and colour transfer if rubbed against rough or dark materials. Avoid overloading the bag and take care around denim and textured garments.
Q: The shoulder strap shows visible cracking—what does that mean for use and care? A: Minor edge or surface cracks are common with age. We recommend avoiding heavy loads and repeated bending at the cracked areas. A specialist atelier can clean, re‑edge‑paint or replace leather components if you prefer a cosmetic refresh; avoid DIY glues or harsh conditioners.
Q: Does this item come with any accessories? A: This listing notes no accessories are included, so the purchase comprises the bag only. If you require a dust bag or authentication letter, please contact us prior to checkout to see what is available.
Q: Where would the date code be on a Dior Saddle from this era? A: Most Dior bags from this period have a leather tab inside stamped on the front with branding and country of origin; the date code is typically on the reverse of that tab or inside an interior pocket. Some smaller or well‑used pieces may have hard‑to‑access or worn codes—our team documents them when present during authentication.
Q: When was the Dior Saddle introduced, and is this considered vintage? A: The Saddle debuted in 1999 under John Galliano and was re‑issued from 2018. This zip‑top style is from the earlier era and is considered vintage, making it a classic Y2K‑period design.
Q: Is the colour accurate to the photos? A: Colours may appear slightly different across screens, but our studio images aim to represent the item faithfully. This piece features green Diorissimo jacquard with tan leather trim and gold‑tone hardware—please review all images for the most accurate impression.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes multi‑point checks by our in‑house experts—materials and weave, stitching and construction, hardware and engravings, interior labels and date codes where present. We stand behind the authenticity of all items and can share additional details on request.
