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 can I fit in the Christian Dior Oblique Saddle Coin Purse? A: With measurements of approximately 12 × 8 × 1.5 cm, it comfortably holds 4–8 cards, coins, folded banknotes, a car key fob, and small earbuds or a lipstick. It will not fit a smartphone or passport. Please refer to the measurements and photos for packing ideas.
Q: Will standard credit cards and IDs fit securely? A: Yes. Standard cards measure about 8.56 × 5.4 cm, so they slot in easily. The zip-top closure keeps coins and small items secure; avoid overfilling to preserve the silhouette.
Q: Can I use the strap as a wristlet or attach it to a bag? A: The short leather strap (approx. 10 cm drop) is designed to slip over the wrist for quick carry. The D-ring clasp lets you clip the purse to a tote handle, belt loop, or a D-ring inside a bag. It is not intended for shoulder or crossbody wear.
Q: What is the material and how does it wear over time? A: This piece features blue Dior Oblique jacquard canvas with navy leather trim and gold‑tone hardware. The woven jacquard is durable for daily use but, like all textiles, benefits from gentle handling and avoidance of rough abrasion to prevent snags or fraying.
Q: How should I clean and care for the Oblique jacquard and leather trim? A: For routine care, use a lint roller or a very soft, dry brush to lift surface dust. Blot spills promptly with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid soaking the fabric, harsh cleaners, colour‑transfer risks (e.g., dark denim), and DIY waterproofing sprays. Nourish only the leather trim sparingly with a suitable leather conditioner if needed, and store loosely stuffed in its dustbag, away from direct sunlight and humidity.
Q: Is the coin purse water‑resistant? A: The jacquard canvas is not waterproof. Brief contact with light rain is usually fine if you wipe it dry straight away, but prolonged exposure to moisture should be avoided to protect the fabric and hardware.
Q: Does this item have a date code or serial number? A: Many Dior small leather goods feature an embossed date code inside, though placement and presence can vary by era and style. Regardless, every item at A Retro Tale is thoroughly authenticated by our in‑house experts. Anything included with the piece is listed under product information.
Q: When did the Saddle design originate, and is this a vintage piece? A: The Saddle silhouette debuted in 1999 and was revived to much acclaim in 2018. This coin purse is a vintage take on that iconic design, crafted in Italy, and finished in the classic blue Oblique motif.
Q: Is the hardware real gold? A: The hardware is gold‑tone metal plating rather than solid gold. Light hairline scratches are normal with gentle use; avoid perfumes, hand sanitisers, and prolonged humidity to keep the finish looking its best.
Q: Is the style unisex? A: Yes. Dior Oblique small leather goods are widely styled by all genders. The compact size and classic navy palette make it a versatile addition to any wardrobe.
