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 vintage Christian Dior Medium Lady Dior? A: The Medium Lady Dior (approx. 23.5 x 19 x 9 cm) is a perfect daily companion. It comfortably holds a large smartphone, a compact or medium-sized wallet, keys, a small cosmetics pouch and sunglasses. While it can accommodate a continental wallet, the vintage zip-top opening can make accessing larger items slightly snug compared with modern flap versions.
Q: Can I wear this bag crossbody? A: This vintage model comes with a detachable shoulder strap with a drop of approximately 44 cm. This length is designed primarily for shoulder carry. While some petite wearers may find it sits as a high crossbody, it is generally too short for standard crossbody wear. The dual top handles (12 cm drop) allow for elegant hand or crook-of-the-arm carry.
Q: How does the closure differ from modern Lady Dior bags? A: This vintage piece features a secure zip-top closure with a signature Dior pull. This is a hallmark of older Lady Dior models, offering excellent security for your valuables. In contrast, current boutique versions typically feature a leather flap closure. Many collectors appreciate the zipper for its added security, though it creates a slightly more structured opening.
Q: How should I care for the pink leather? A: To maintain the beauty of the pink leather, keep it away from moisture, oils and prolonged direct sunlight. Light-coloured leather is susceptible to colour transfer, so be mindful when wearing dark denim or new dyed fabrics. Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth if needed, and store the bag upright in its dust bag with the handles supported to prevent impressions on the leather.
Q: Is the shoulder strap adjustable? A: Vintage Lady Dior straps are typically non-adjustable leather strips with clip attachments. This specific piece has a fixed strap drop of 44 cm. If you require a different length or style, the bag’s hardware rings allow you to attach alternative straps (sold separately).
Q: What is the interior layout? A: The interior is lined in a tonal jacquard fabric, featuring the classic Dior motif. It includes one main compartment and a zipped interior side pocket for securing smaller items like cards or keys.
Q: Does this bag maintain its shape well? A: Yes, the Lady Dior is renowned for its structured silhouette. The Cannage quilting and sturdy construction help it retain its boxy shape over time. To ensure it stays in top condition, we recommend storing it lightly stuffed with acid-free tissue paper to support the leather when not in use.
Q: How do you authenticate this vintage Dior bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is expertly vetted. For the Lady Dior, we check the quality of the Cannage stitching, the weight and finish of the silver-tone hardware (including the O-rings and charms), the interior leather tag stamp (which should read “Christian Dior Paris” and “Made in France” for this piece), and the date code located behind the tag. We guarantee the authenticity of every piece we sell.
Q: What accessories are included with this purchase? A: This item includes the original dust bag and the detachable shoulder strap. Please refer to the “Accessories” section in the product details for the complete list of included items.
