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 Medium Lady Dior? A: With approximate measurements of 24 × 20 × 13 cm, it comfortably carries a large smartphone, a compact or small wallet, keys, sunglasses in a soft case, and a small cosmetics pouch. Many users also fit an iPad mini or similar compact tablet (case-dependent). The structured frame and zip opening mean space is used best with smaller pouches. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.
Q: Does this item include a shoulder strap and can it be worn crossbody? A: This specific piece is delivered as shown in the product information and does not include a strap. It is primarily a handheld bag with dual rounded top handles (approx. 12 cm drop). Some Medium Lady Dior models are designed to take a removable strap, but if you wish to add one later, please check the photos and product information to confirm suitable attachment points on this bag.
Q: How easy is the opening to use? A: This vintage Medium Lady Dior features a top zip closure that keeps belongings secure. As the bag has a structured frame, the entry is more compact than the body; packing with smaller pouches helps items slide in and out smoothly.
Q: What does the cannage pattern mean? A: Cannage is Dior’s signature quilted motif. It was inspired by the canework pattern on Napoleon III chairs used in Christian Dior’s couture salons and has become an enduring house code seen on the Lady Dior.
Q: How should I care for patent leather? A: Wipe gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry with a lint‑free cloth. Avoid alcohol, acetone and harsh cleaners, which can damage the glossy finish. Patent leather can attract colour transfer, so keep it away from dark denim and other dye‑prone fabrics, and store it separately in a breathable dust bag, lightly stuffed to maintain shape. Keep away from heat and prolonged direct sunlight; if the bag gets wet, pat dry promptly.
Q: Is patent leather water resistant? A: Patent leather resists light splashes and can be wiped clean, but it is not waterproof. Avoid heavy rain and humidity; if exposed to moisture, dry it promptly and allow it to air out before storage.
Q: Where is the date code and does this bag have a serial number? A: Dior bags use a production date code rather than a unique serial number. On Lady Dior, the date code is typically found on the back of the interior leather logo tag or on a small leather tab inside a pocket. The letters denote factory, and the numbers indicate month and year of production; formats vary by era, especially on vintage pieces.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed in the product information section. If a dust bag, strap, charm, or any other item is not listed there, it is not included with this piece.
Q: Is this bag authentic? A: Yes. Every item at A Retro Tale is thoroughly vetted by in‑house experts with over 10 years’ experience and also verified with an established third‑party authentication tool. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell.
Q: Where is this piece made? A: Italy, as stated on the product page and interior label.
