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 is Dior’s Trotter (also called Oblique) canvas? A: It is Dior’s signature monogram woven in jacquard fabric, first introduced by Marc Bohan in 1967. On this pouch it appears in blue with dark blue leather trim and silver-tone hardware, giving a textured, durable finish with a classic look.
Q: What typically fits inside this pouch? A: With approximate measurements of 26.5 × 17.5 × 0.5 cm, it holds large smartphones, a passport, slim wallet or cardholder, keys, lipstick and other small essentials. It fits A6 notebooks and folded A5 papers, but not most tablets (including iPad mini). Please compare with your own items for certainty.
Q: Does it come with a strap or have attachment points for one? A: No. This is a flat, zip‑top pouch designed to be hand‑carried or used as an organiser inside a larger bag. It does not have built‑in D‑rings for a strap or chain.
Q: Is the jacquard canvas waterproof? A: No. Jacquard canvas is a woven textile, so it is not waterproof. Light moisture can usually be blotted, but prolonged or heavy rain should be avoided. If the exterior becomes damp, gently blot with a soft, dry cloth and allow to air‑dry away from heat sources.
Q: How should I clean and care for the fabric and leather trim? A: For routine care, gently brush off dust, then spot‑clean the fabric with a barely damp soft cloth and a tiny amount of mild soap if needed. Avoid soaking, harsh chemicals, and colour-transfer risk from dark textiles. Nourish leather trim sparingly with a suitable neutral conditioner, and test any product on an inconspicuous area first. Store stuffed to hold its shape, in a breathable dust bag, away from direct sunlight and humidity.
Q: Is “Trotter” the same as “Oblique”? A: Yes in essence. Trotter is a widely used vintage-era name for Dior’s monogram; Dior today generally refers to the motif as Oblique. Both terms describe the same iconic pattern.
Q: How can I tell the production period or verify authenticity? A: Most Dior bags and small leather goods from around the late 1990s onward include a date code stamped on the reverse of the interior leather logo tag. Earlier authentic vintage pieces may not have a code. The code format typically combines letters and numbers indicating factory and date. If you would like help reading a code, contact us and our team can assist.
Q: Where is the code typically located on a Dior pouch? A: Usually on the back of the leather “Christian Dior PARIS” tag inside the pouch or near an interior seam. Use soft lighting and avoid pulling at the lining when checking.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information on this page. This pouch is currently listed with no additional items. If you need clarification, please contact us.
Q: The hardware shows light scratches—how should I maintain it? A: Hairline marks are normal for vintage silver‑tone hardware. Wipe gently with a clean microfibre cloth, avoid abrasive polishes, and store to prevent rubbing against hard surfaces.
