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 this Christian Dior Trotter Embroidered Bag? A: With approximate dimensions of 35 × 18 × 13 cm, it comfortably holds a large smartphone, long wallet, keys, sunglasses in a soft case, a small cosmetics pouch and an 11-inch tablet. To preserve the embroidery and shape, avoid overfilling and heavy items.
Q: Does this model come with a shoulder strap? A: No. This vintage Trotter is a handheld bowling-style bag with dual rolled leather handles (approx. 10 cm drop) and a top zip closure. It is designed to be carried by hand or on the crook of the arm.
Q: What is the exterior material and how does it wear? A: The bag features Dior’s Oblique (Trotter) jacquard canvas with floral embroidery and off‑white leather trim. Jacquard is a woven fabric, valued for its texture and pattern definition. It is durable for daily use but, like most fabrics, should be protected from abrasion and prolonged moisture to keep the weave and embroidery pristine.
Q: How should I care for the embroidered jacquard canvas and leather trim? A: Gently dust the fabric with a soft, dry brush or cloth; for light marks, dab with a barely damp cloth and a drop of mild soap, then blot dry. Avoid soaking or harsh chemicals. Keep embroidery away from rough surfaces to prevent snagging. Condition the leather trim sparingly with a neutral leather balm if it feels dry. Store stuffed to support the shape in a breathable dust bag, away from direct sunlight and humidity.
Q: Where will I find the Dior date code and what does it tell me? A: Dior bags typically have a leather tag inside stamped “Christian Dior Paris” with “Made in Italy/France,” and a date/serial code on the reverse. The code is a mix of letters and numbers that indicates the manufacturing location and period; formats vary by era. Share the code with us if you would like help interpreting it.
Q: What era is this design associated with? A: Dior’s Oblique/Trotter motif was created in 1967 and has been revisited across decades. Many bowling and Boston styles with the all‑over Trotter pattern became especially popular in the early 2000s. Without the internal code, an exact year cannot be confirmed for this piece, but it is a vintage model.
Q: Will it fit a laptop? A: It is not ideal for most 13‑inch laptops due to the height and curved zip opening. Slim tablets up to roughly 11 inches are a better fit.
Q: Is anything else included with the bag? A: The product information for this item notes no additional items are included. It is sold as photographed. If you have a question about add‑ons such as a dust bag or organiser, please contact us before purchase.
Q: How does A Retro Tale verify authenticity? A: Every item is inspected by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, heat stamps and date codes. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide further details or photos upon request.
Q: There are some stains on the canvas—can they be improved? A: Minor surface soiling on jacquard can sometimes be reduced with cautious spot‑cleaning as described above, but deeper stains or colour transfer are best assessed by a professional handbag care service. Always test any method on an inconspicuous area first to avoid affecting the weave or embroidery.
