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 are the dimensions and what typically fits inside? A: The bag measures approximately 27 × 20 × 5 cm. It comfortably holds a smartphone, compact wallet or cardholder, keys, AirPods, passport, slim sunglasses case and small essentials. A compact tablet or e‑reader may fit if packed flat, but A4 documents and full‑size tablets will not.
Q: Will it fit an iPad mini or Kindle? A: Yes, most small tablets such as an iPad mini or Kindle can fit snugly due to the 27 cm length and 20 cm height. Fit will depend on the thickness of your case and how you arrange other items inside.
Q: How does the bag close and how secure is it? A: The main compartment has a zip closure concealed beneath the signature Saddle flap with a magnetic fastening. This double closure offers added security for daily use and travel.
Q: How can it be worn and is the strap adjustable? A: It is designed to be worn crossbody or on the shoulder. The strap is adjustable, allowing you to customise the drop for a close, body‑hugging carry or a looser fit over outerwear.
Q: Is the strap removable? A: On this Saddle Sling configuration the strap is designed to stay attached; it is adjustable but not intended to be detached.
Q: What materials is it made from? A: This piece is crafted in black grained calfskin with a textile‑lined interior and matte black hardware. Grained calfskin offers a slightly structured feel and good day‑to‑day resilience.
Q: How should I care for grained calfskin and matte hardware? A: Wipe leather occasionally with a soft, dry cloth; if needed, use a barely damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid saturating the leather, oils, alcohol‑based products and prolonged sun or heat. Store lightly stuffed in its dust bag, away from pressure and humidity. For the matte hardware, avoid polishes or abrasives; simply buff gently with a clean microfibre cloth.
Q: Is this style unisex? A: Yes. While introduced in the men’s line, the Saddle Sling’s clean, functional design and adjustable strap make it a versatile crossbody for any wardrobe.
Q: What accessories are included with this item? A: This item comes with a dust bag, as listed on this page. If you need confirmation of any additional inclusions, please contact us.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag, and does it have a date code or microchip? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is thoroughly vetted by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, heat stamps and factory/date codes. Dior bags typically feature an interior leather tag with a heat stamp and a date code; some recent models may also include an embedded microchip. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can share further details on request.
