An elegant companion for evening soirees, gallery openings or smart dinners, this black cannage‑quilted Lady Dior adds polished structure to any look. Medium in size for day‑to‑night wear, it can be hand‑carried or worn with the detachable strap, ideal for weddings, premieres and chic city nights.
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 the Medium Lady Dior? A: With approximate measurements of 25 × 20 × 13 cm for this piece, it comfortably holds a phone, compact or long wallet (a compact wallet gives easier access), keys, a small makeup pouch, and sunglasses in a soft case. An iPad mini or similar 8-inch tablet can fit; larger tablets and A4 documents will not. A small 330–350 ml water bottle may fit but can distort the structured shape, so it is not recommended. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.
Q: Can it be worn crossbody or only on the shoulder? A: This bag includes a detachable shoulder strap. Many Medium Lady Dior bags are best suited to hand, crook-of-arm, or shoulder carry; crossbody suitability depends on strap length and your height. The strap on this item measures approximately 45 cm (see product information), which is typically comfortable for shoulder wear and may sit high if worn crossbody on some frames.
Q: How does the Medium compare to other Lady Dior sizes? A: The Lady Dior family commonly comes in Micro, Mini, Small (often called My ABC), Medium, and Large. Medium is the classic all-rounder, offering more capacity than Small/Mini while remaining elegant for day-to-evening use. Large provides the most room if you routinely carry extra items.
Q: Does the Lady Dior have protective feet on the base? A: Most Lady Dior bags feature four metal feet to help protect the base. Some earlier vintage editions may lack feet, which is normal for those production periods.
Q: How does this bag close and what is the interior like? A: This example has a top zip closure for added security. Inside you’ll find red Diorissimo fabric lining and one internal zip pocket as noted in the product information.
Q: What is cannage quilting? A: Cannage is Dior’s signature geometric quilting, creating a structured, padded texture that helps the bag keep its shape while adding a refined finish.
Q: How should I care for the leather and hardware? A: Wipe the exterior gently with a soft, dry cloth after use, avoid overfilling to preserve the structure, and keep the bag away from moisture, heat, and prolonged direct light. Store it loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag to maintain shape and reduce creasing. For glossy/patent finishes, use only specialist patent-care products and be mindful of colour transfer from dark fabrics. Seek a professional for deep cleaning or stain removal.
Q: Where can I find the Dior date code and what does it mean? A: Dior bags typically have a date code on the reverse of the interior leather tag or along a seam inside the bag. It is a mix of letters and numbers indicating factory and production date. Formats and exact placement vary by year and model.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This bag comes with a dust bag and a detachable shoulder strap. Everything included with the item is listed under the product information on this page; if an item isn’t listed there, it is not included.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this bag? A: Every piece is rigorously examined by our in-house experts using multi-point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, and date codes. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide additional details on request.
