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 fits inside the Christian Dior Double Saddle Bag? A: With a width of approximately 31 cm, this vintage Double Saddle is more spacious than the standard Saddle Bag. It comfortably holds daily essentials such as a large smartphone, a full-length (continental) wallet, a cosmetics pouch, keys, and sunglasses. While it is wide enough for a small tablet (like an iPad Mini), a standard laptop will not fit due to the 20 cm height and slim profile.
Q: Can I wear this bag crossbody? A: This model features a single adjustable shoulder strap with a listed measurement of 60 cm. Depending on the exact adjustment and your height, it is typically designed for comfortable shoulder carry (sitting under the arm) or high crossbody wear. We recommend checking the strap drop against your own measurements to ensure your preferred fit.
Q: How does the Double Saddle differ from the classic Saddle Bag? A: The Double Saddle Bag from the John Galliano era typically features a more rectangular, structured silhouette compared to the classic kidney-shaped Saddle. It incorporates the iconic asymmetrical saddle flaps as exterior details or pockets, offering a unique vintage aesthetic with slightly more practical internal organization.
Q: How secure is the closure? A: The bag features a flap closure, which on many vintage Dior pieces from the early 2000s utilizes a Velcro or magnetic snap fastening for easy access. Inside, you will find a zipped pocket to keep smaller valuables secure.
Q: How should I care for the cream canvas and brown leather? A: The cream canvas is durable but can be susceptible to colour transfer, so avoid contact with dark denim or non-colourfast fabrics. Spot-clean the canvas gently with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap if needed (avoid saturating the fabric). For the brown leather trim, use a high-quality neutral leather conditioner sparingly to keep it supple and prevent cracking.
Q: Is this a vintage item? A: Yes, this is an authentic vintage piece, likely produced during the early 2000s. As with all vintage items, it may show unique characteristics of its age, such as light scratches on the brass hardware or softening of the leather, which are noted in the product’s condition report.
Q: Where are the brand markings located? A: Authentic Christian Dior bags from this era feature a leather tag inside with "Christian Dior Paris" and "Made in Italy" (or Spain) heat-stamped. A serial code is typically located on the reverse side of this tag. The hardware, including the zipper pull and strap buckles, will often feature CD engraving.
Q: What is the interior lining made of? A: This specific piece is lined with the signature Brown Diorissimo canvas, a classic woven textile featuring the Dior logo. It is durable and adds an extra touch of luxury to the interior.
Q: Does the bag come with its original accessories? A: This item includes its original dust bag. As it is a pre-loved vintage piece, other original packaging like the box or authenticity card is not included unless specified in the "Accessories" field.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: All items at A Retro Tale, including this Dior Double Saddle, undergo a rigorous multi-point inspection by our in-house experts. We verify the materials, stitching, hardware quality, logo typography, and serial codes to ensure every piece is 100% authentic.
