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 realistically fit inside this vintage Dior flap bag? A: With approximate dimensions of 25.5 × 18.5 × 3.5 cm and two internal compartments, it comfortably holds a smartphone, a small or compact wallet, keys, and a few slim essentials such as lipstick, hand sanitiser, and cards. A full-sized continental wallet or bulky cases may be a tight fit due to the slim depth—please refer to the Measurements and photos for guidance.
Q: How can this bag be carried day to day? A: It is designed as a shoulder bag with dual fixed straps. The handle drop is approximately 18 cm, which suits shoulder carry over light layers or hand carry in the crook of the arm. It is not configured with a detachable crossbody strap.
Q: Does this item come with extras like a dust bag or card? A: Everything included is listed under the product information on this page. If an item such as a dust bag or authenticity card is not listed there, it is not included—feel free to contact us for confirmation.
Q: The lining notes mention peeling—what does that mean and can it be fixed? A: On some vintage pieces, older interior coatings can degrade over time, which presents as flaking or peeling. Specialist ateliers can usually clean, stabilise, or fully replace a lining if desired. If you would like a restoration quote, we can recommend reputable services.
Q: Is the gold‑tone hardware real gold? A: Dior hardware is typically gold‑tone plated over a base metal (often brass), not solid gold. Light surface scratches and a softer lustre are normal with age. To preserve the finish, wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth and avoid metal polishes and abrasive cleaners.
Q: How should I care for the navy leather? A: Wipe down after wear with a soft, slightly damp cloth, then dry immediately. Keep away from oils, hand sanitiser, and dyes on dark denim. Store stuffed to maintain shape, inside a breathable dust bag, in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Consider using a neutral, high‑quality leather protector sparingly and always patch‑test first.
Q: How should I store the bag when not in use? A: Empty the contents, fasten the clasp to support the structure, and lightly stuff with acid‑free tissue. Store upright in a breathable dust bag with straps laid on top to avoid pressure marks. Avoid plastic boxes or humid environments, and rotate use to prevent long‑term creasing.
Q: Does this Dior bag have a date code or serial number? A: Depending on the era, Dior bags may have a leather tag with a heat stamp and a date code on the reverse, or (on some older vintage pieces) no date code at all. The exact stamping for this piece is shown in the product photos; we can provide close‑ups on request.
Q: Where are Dior bags made? A: Production varies by model and year and commonly includes Italy and, for some vintage pieces, France. Please refer to the stamping and the product information on this page for the specific origin of this item.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this item? A: Every piece is vetted by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, and construction details. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and are happy to share additional images or details on request.
