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 this pouch? A: With approximate measurements of 18 × 13 × 3 cm, it fits a smartphone (including larger models up to about 16.5 cm in length), a passport, a cardholder, keys and a few small cosmetics. Capacity varies with how you pack; please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.
Q: Is this the classic Dior Trotter/Oblique canvas? A: Yes. The navy and beige Trotter canvas is Dior’s Oblique monogram, first introduced by Marc Bohan in 1967 and commonly produced as a jacquard fabric that gives the motif texture and definition.
Q: Does this pouch come with a strap or attachment points? A: No. This style is a hand-held zip-top pouch without a strap or D-rings. It is ideal as a compact clutch or as an organiser inside a larger bag.
Q: Is the Oblique/Trotter canvas water-resistant? A: Oblique/Trotter is a woven jacquard textile rather than a coated canvas, so it is not waterproof. Avoid heavy rain, blot any splashes promptly with a dry cloth and allow to air-dry away from heat sources.
Q: How should I clean and care for the jacquard canvas and leather trim? A: Start with dry methods: use a lint roller or a soft, dry microfibre cloth to lift surface dust. For light marks, dab gently with a cloth slightly dampened with lukewarm water and a drop of mild soap, then blot with clean water and air-dry. Avoid soaking, scrubbing, bleach or solvents, and test any method on a hidden area first. Store loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag, away from prolonged sunlight and humidity. For difficult stains, seek a professional cleaner experienced with luxury textiles and leather.
Q: Where would a Dior date code be on a pouch like this, and do all pieces have one? A: Dior began using date codes widely in the late 1990s. On small leather goods, the code is usually stamped discreetly on the back of a small interior leather tab, inside a pocket, or along an inner seam. Earlier vintage pieces may have different formats or, occasionally, none. A code is one checkpoint only—overall materials, stitching, stamps and hardware must also be consistent.
Q: How do you authenticate this item? A: Every piece at A Retro Tale is examined by in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and (where present) date codes. We stand behind the authenticity of all items and can provide additional photos or details on request.
Q: What is included with this listing? A: Everything included is shown under product information on this page. If an item such as a dust bag or card isn’t listed there, it is not included—please contact us if you would like us to confirm.
Q: How can I use this pouch day to day? A: Use it as a minimalist clutch for essentials, a travel document holder, or as an organiser inside a tote. Its slim profile keeps small items tidy while the zip closure adds security.
