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 are the dimensions and how can I carry it? A: The Medium Lady Dior typically measures around 24 × 20 × 11 cm. This piece has an approximate handle drop of 12 cm and a detachable strap with about a 41 cm drop, so it can be carried by hand, in the crook of the arm, or on the shoulder. Crossbody wear will sit higher on most frames—please check the Measurements on this page to confirm the best fit.
Q: What typically fits inside the Medium Lady Dior? A: Daily essentials such as a smartphone, compact wallet, keys, sunglasses, a small cosmetics pouch and a card holder fit comfortably. Many owners report that an iPad mini or a 350 ml water bottle can fit snugly, but the structured silhouette and zip opening mean slimmer items are easiest to access. Capacity will vary by how you pack—refer to the Measurements for guidance.
Q: Is the strap long enough for crossbody wear? A: Medium models often have a shorter strap drop than dedicated crossbody bags. With an approx. 41 cm drop on this item, most people find it ideal on the shoulder or as handheld; crossbody wear may sit high depending on height and build. If you prefer a lower crossbody drop, consider using a longer compatible strap.
Q: How secure and accessible is the opening? A: This bag features a top zip closure with an interior zipped pocket, offering secure storage. As the bag is structured, the opening is slightly narrower than the full width; organising your items in slim pouches helps with quick access.
Q: How should I care for the suede? A: Before first use, apply a quality suede protector and reapply periodically. Avoid rain and humidity; blot (do not rub) any moisture and let it air dry. Use a soft suede brush to lift the nap and a suede eraser for minor marks. Store stuffed to maintain shape, in a breathable dust bag, away from direct sunlight and colour transfer. For deep cleaning, consult a suede specialist.
Q: Will the charms and hardware scratch easily? A: Light hairline scratches can occur with normal use, especially on the charms. This piece’s hardware is described as shiny with light scratches. Avoid contact with abrasive surfaces and perfume, and wrap the charms when storing to minimise micro-scratches.
Q: Can I use alternative straps with the Lady Dior? A: Yes, the detachable strap clips to the handle rings, and many owners enjoy swapping in compatible straps. Ensure the clasps fit the rings and be mindful of potential rubbing to the hardware and suede.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes multi‑point authentication by our in‑house experts, including checks of materials, stitching, hardware and stamps. Dior handbags typically feature an interior leather tag with a heat‑stamp and a date code on the reverse or within the lining. We can share additional authentication details on request.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This piece includes a detachable shoulder strap. Everything included is listed under the product information section; if an item is not listed there, it is not included. Contact us if you would like us to confirm any specific inclusions.
Q: Where is this bag made? A: The country-of-origin label states Italy.
