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 Trotter Pouch? A: With approximate measurements of 24 × 18 × 7 cm, it comfortably holds most smartphones, a compact wallet or cardholder, keys, a passport, slim sunglasses, small cosmetics, and an e‑reader around 17 × 12 cm. Bulky long wallets or a tablet such as an iPad mini are unlikely to fit comfortably.
Q: Does this pouch come with a strap or have D‑rings to add one? A: This is a classic zip‑top pouch designed to be handheld or used inside a larger bag. It does not include a shoulder strap and typically does not have built‑in D‑rings. We do not recommend attaching a chain to the zip pull or hardware as this may cause damage.
Q: Is the Dior Trotter pattern the same as Dior Oblique? A: Yes. The Trotter motif is widely known as Dior’s Oblique monogram, a jacquard pattern introduced under Marc Bohan in the late 1960s. This pouch features the navy Oblique/Trotter canvas with matching trim and gold‑tone hardware.
Q: Is the pouch unisex? A: Absolutely. The streamlined silhouette and neutral navy colour make it a versatile, unisex piece for daily carry, travel, or evening use.
Q: Can I use it as a toiletry or make‑up pouch when travelling? A: Yes, many customers use vintage Dior pouches for travel essentials. Because this piece has a leather lining, keep liquids in leak‑proof containers or a separate inner sleeve to avoid spills and stains.
Q: How should I care for the canvas, leather trim and hardware? A: Gently wipe the canvas with a soft, slightly damp cloth and mild soap if needed; avoid soaking the fabric. Nourish leather trim sparingly with a suitable leather conditioner, keeping products away from the canvas. Dry immediately if exposed to rain. Use a non‑abrasive polishing cloth on gold‑tone hardware. For deep cleaning or stain removal, consult a professional handbag care service.
Q: Does this vintage Dior pouch have a serial or date code? A: Dior uses internal date codes rather than unique serial numbers, and their presence and placement vary by era and model. Many vintage pouches may have no visible code. For this item, no code is listed in the product information; our team has authenticated it through comprehensive checks.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under product information. For this piece, there are no additional items included.
Q: What should I expect from the condition of this vintage piece? A: Overall good vintage condition with light external signs of use, scuffs and marks on the leather lining, and scratches plus some discolouration to the hardware. Please review the photos and condition notes to understand wear consistent with age and prior use.
Q: How do you authenticate this Dior pouch? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is examined by in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, jacquard weave, heat stamps, labels/date codes (when present), hardware engravings and overall construction. We stand behind the authenticity of all items and are happy to provide further details on request.
