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 Diorissimo Street Chic bag? A: With approximate dimensions of 25 × 24.5 × 6 cm, it comfortably holds a large smartphone, small wallet, keys, sunglasses, passport, an A5 notebook, and a few cosmetics. Slim tablets up to around 8 inches may fit; larger tablets and laptops will not. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact sizing.
Q: Can this be worn crossbody as well as on the shoulder? A: It is primarily designed as a shoulder bag. The strap is adjustable (listed at approximately 54 cm), so some buyers of certain heights may wear it as a short crossbody. We recommend checking the strap measurement against your preferred drop.
Q: Is the strap removable? A: Most Street Chic shoulder bags have an integrated, non‑removable strap. Please review the photos and product information to confirm the configuration of this specific piece.
Q: What does Diorissimo canvas mean? Is it the same as Trotter/Oblique? A: Diorissimo refers to Dior’s signature monogram jacquard. In the vintage market, the terms Diorissimo and Trotter are often used interchangeably for this classic logo canvas, and some sellers also say Oblique. The pattern and weave are the same family of Dior logo jacquards across these names.
Q: Which era does the Street Chic line come from? A: Street Chic bags are from the early 2000s, within the John Galliano era at Dior. You will often see examples dated to 2002–2003 in reputable resale archives.
Q: Where can I find the Dior date code/serial and how do I read it? A: Look for a leather tab inside the bag; the reverse side typically has a heat‑stamped code. On 2000s Dior, the common format is two numbers, two letters, and four numbers (for example 02‑MA‑0253). The letters indicate the factory/country and the last four digits encode month and year. Minor variations exist across years and models.
Q: How should I care for the Diorissimo canvas and leather trim? A: Gently brush off dust with a soft, dry cloth. For light marks on the jacquard, use a barely damp microfiber cloth and blot—do not soak. Keep leather trim away from moisture and oils; condition sparingly with a neutral leather cream tested first on a hidden area. Store stuffed to hold shape, in a breathable dust bag, away from direct sunlight and humidity. For deep cleaning or stain removal, consult a specialist handbag care service.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed in the product information on this page. For this piece, a dust bag is included unless otherwise stated.
Q: How would you describe the condition of this specific bag? A: Good overall. The leather trim and base show visible scuffing and scratches, with a minor stain on the canvas exterior. The interior shows light signs of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches.
Q: Is the item authenticated? A: Yes. Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, and date codes. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can share additional product information on request.
