Perfect for a coffee date, city stroll or evening event, this vintage Christian Dior Croissant in tan leather with gold-toned hardware adds effortless polish. With a single shoulder strap and secure top zip, it transitions seamlessly from day to night.
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 Christian Dior Croissant Shoulder Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 30 × 15 × 8.5 cm and a curved profile, it comfortably holds a large smartphone, a small wallet, keys, a slim sunglasses case, and a few cosmetics. A mini tablet (up to around 8.3 inches) may fit without a bulky case, but A4 documents and laptops will not. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact sizing.
Q: Can this bag be worn crossbody? Is the strap adjustable? A: It is designed for shoulder carry. This piece has a single flat shoulder strap with an approximate 25 cm drop and is not adjustable, so it is not suited to crossbody wear.
Q: What pockets and compartments does it have? A: This Croissant model features two exterior flap pockets for quick-grab items, a secure top zip closure, and an interior zip pocket for valuables. The lining is a brown Dior logo canvas for easy visibility of contents.
Q: Is this style still produced by Dior? A: No, this is a vintage design that is no longer part of Dior’s current collections. Availability is limited to the pre-owned market, which makes condition and completeness especially important when choosing a piece.
Q: Where can I find the Dior date code and what does it mean? A: Dior typically stamps a heat-embossed leather tag inside the bag. The front shows the brand stamp and country of origin; the back (or a small leather tab inside a pocket) carries an alphanumeric date code. This code indicates the production time and location rather than serving as a unique serial number for each bag.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this bag? A: Every item undergoes multi-point checks by our specialists, including materials and lining, stitching, heat stamps and font, hardware finishing, glazing, odour, and the format/placement of the Dior date code. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and are happy to share further product information on request.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information on this page. This specific item currently comes without additional items.
Q: How should I care for the tan leather and gold-toned hardware? A: Wipe gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth after use. Keep away from prolonged sunlight, moisture, and oils or hand creams. Minimise contact with dark denim to avoid colour transfer. Store lightly stuffed in a breathable dust bag, upright and away from humidity. Use a neutral leather conditioner sparingly on smooth leather and avoid harsh chemicals on the hardware.
Q: What is the condition of this piece? A: External condition is very good with light signs of use and small scratches. The interior is very good with light use. The hardware shows scratches and some discolouration. Please review the photos and product information for full details.
Q: Where was this bag made? A: The country of origin label is Italy, consistent with many Dior leather bags of this era.
