Q: What are the measurements and how can this bag be carried?
A: The Medium Lady Dior measures approximately 24 × 20 × 11 cm. This piece has dual top handles and a detachable shoulder strap, so it can be carried by hand, in the crook of the arm, or on the shoulder. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact details.

Q: What typically fits inside the Medium Lady Dior?
A: Daily essentials such as a large smartphone, compact wallet or cardholder, keys, sunglasses, and a small cosmetics pouch fit comfortably. Many owners also fit an iPad mini or compact e‑reader without a bulky case. It does not accommodate A4 documents or most 11‑inch tablets. Packing with slim pouches helps maximise space.

Q: Is the opening easy to access?
A: The structured silhouette and zip‑top closure make the opening more compact than a tote. Using smaller pouches and avoiding overfilling improves access, while the interior zipped pocket keeps valuables secure.

Q: Does the Medium Lady Dior have base feet?
A: Most Medium Lady Dior bags feature four protective metal feet, though some early vintage editions were produced without feet. The exact configuration can vary by year and version.

Q: What does the Cannage quilting refer to?
A: Cannage is Dior’s signature quilting pattern inspired by the canework on Napoleon III chairs used at early Dior shows. It gives structure and a timeless, graphic texture to the bag.

Q: How should I care for the black patent leather?
A: Wipe with a soft, slightly damp microfibre cloth and buff dry. Avoid solvent cleaners (acetone, alcohol) and oils. Keep away from heat and humidity, store upright and lightly stuffed in a breathable dust bag, and wrap the strap and charms to prevent impressions. Patent finishes can be prone to colour transfer from dark fabrics, so avoid prolonged rubbing against denim or dyed materials. If surface stickiness occurs after heat or humidity, allow the bag to cool and gently clean; for persistent issues, consult a professional leather care specialist.

Q: Can it be worn crossbody?
A: This example includes a detachable shoulder strap. Many wear the Medium by hand or on the shoulder; whether it sits comfortably crossbody depends on the strap length and your height. Please check the strap measurement shown under Measurements to judge your preferred carry.

Q: Where is the Dior date code and what does it indicate?
A: On Lady Dior bags, the code is usually on the reverse of the leather logo tag inside the bag or near the interior pocket. It combines letters and numbers that denote the manufacturing location and month/year of production.

Q: What is included with this item?
A: Everything included is listed under the product information section on this page. If an item such as a dust bag or authenticity card is not listed there, it is not included. Contact us if you would like us to confirm the contents.

Q: How do you authenticate this bag?
A: Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes rigorous multi‑point checks by our in‑house experts, including materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, and date codes. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide additional details on request.
