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 Mini Saddle Coin Purse? A: With approximate dimensions of 12 × 8 × 1.5 cm, it comfortably holds coins, 4–8 cards, folded banknotes and a slim key fob or lipstick. It is not designed to fit a smartphone. Capacity will vary depending on how you pack—please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact sizing.
Q: Can I wear it on the shoulder or crossbody? A: This piece is designed for hand or wrist carry. It has a short leather strap with an approximately 10 cm drop and is not intended for shoulder or crossbody use. Many clients also loop the strap over a bag handle to use it as a decorative charm or mini pouch.
Q: Is the strap removable? A: The strap is designed as a fixed wristlet for quick grab-and-go carry. It is not intended to be detached or replaced.
Q: What are the main materials and features? A: This vintage coin purse is crafted in Dior’s signature Diorissimo/Oblique jacquard canvas with leather trim, gold‑tone hardware and a secure zip‑top closure. The silhouette echoes the House’s Saddle design and is lined in dark fabric, making it durable for daily small essentials.
Q: How should I care for the Oblique jacquard canvas and leather trim? A: Gently brush away dust with a soft, dry brush or microfibre cloth. For light marks on canvas, dab (do not rub) with a barely damp, lint‑free cloth and allow to air dry; avoid soaking, harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Nourish leather trim sparingly with a suitable neutral leather conditioner. Store loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag, away from direct sunlight and humidity, and avoid contact with dark denim or pigments to minimise colour transfer.
Q: Does this item come with any extras like a dust bag or box? A: Everything included is listed under the product information section on this page. If a dust bag, box or other item is not listed there, it is not included. Feel free to contact us for confirmation.
Q: How do you authenticate this Dior piece? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is vetted by our in‑house experts using a multi‑point process that examines materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and construction. Small leather goods may feature a heat‑stamped date code on a leather tab depending on era and model, but its presence or format can vary. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide additional details or photos on request.
Q: Is this a vintage item and what signs of wear should I expect? A: Yes, this is a vintage Dior piece. It is in very good condition with light traces of use on the exterior and interior, and hardware that is shiny with light scratches. Please review the photos and condition notes for a precise overview.
Q: Can it function as a minimalist wallet? A: Absolutely. The coin purse works well as a compact wallet for cards, folded notes and coins, whether carried on the wrist or tucked inside a larger bag.
Q: Is the zip closure secure for coins and small items? A: Yes. The zip‑top closure keeps coins and small essentials secure during daily use, while the wristlet strap adds extra convenience when on the move.
