Christian Dior Woven Soft Lady Dior Tote Bag

Q: What are the measurements and what typically fits inside?
A: This medium Soft Lady Dior measures approximately 25.5 × 20 × 13 cm with a handle drop of about 7 cm. It comfortably holds an A5 diary, long wallet, smartphone, sunglasses, keys, a small cosmetics pouch and similar daily essentials. An iPad mini fits; a full‑size 10–11 inch tablet may fit without a bulky case but can limit the top closure—please compare your device to the measurements for certainty.

Q: Does this bag come with a shoulder strap?
A: This specific piece is designed for hand or crook‑of‑arm carry and is not supplied with a detachable strap. Some past Soft Lady Dior styles included chain straps, but this one is a handheld tote. All included items for this listing are shown under product information.

Q: How does the bag close and what is the interior like?
A: It has an open top with a central magnetic snap fastening. The interior is lined in beige leather and includes a zipped pocket, plus slip compartments for small essentials, as shown in our photos.

Q: Is this an authentic Dior bag and where would I find the code?
A: Yes. Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes a rigorous multi‑point authentication by our in‑house specialists. Dior bags typically have a leather brand label with a code on the reverse or a small fabric tag with a code inside; this alphanumeric code indicates factory and production period and is separate from any card number. We can share the code details on request.

Q: How should I care for the woven leather?
A: Wipe with a soft, dry cloth after use, avoid overfilling to prevent stretching of the weave, and keep away from rough or snag‑prone surfaces. If needed, spot‑clean lightly with a pH‑neutral leather cleaner on a soft cloth after patch‑testing; condition sparingly with a neutral leather cream. Keep the bag dry; if it gets wet, blot gently and allow to air‑dry away from heat. For deep cleaning, consult a professional leather specialist.

Q: Is the ecru colour prone to marks or colour transfer?
A: Light leather can show handling marks and dye transfer from dark denim or saturated fabrics. Carry with clean hands, avoid prolonged contact with untreated denim, and consider rotating where you hold the handles. A colourless leather protector suitable for smooth leather may help, but always test on a discreet area first.

Q: Can I attach a third‑party strap to this bag?
A: This version does not include dedicated strap rings. Clipping a strap onto handle hardware can cause rubbing and deformation, so we do not recommend it. If you prefer hands‑free wear, a Lady Dior variant with an original strap may suit better.

Q: Is this style practical for daily use?
A: The medium size suits everyday essentials and the softer construction offers easier access than the classic structured Lady Dior. Do note the handheld carry and 7 cm handle drop; if you require regular shoulder or crossbody wear, consider a Lady Dior model supplied with a strap.

Q: What exactly is included with this purchase?
A: Everything included is listed under product information for this item. If a dust bag, card or other extras are not listed there, they are not included. For this specific piece, product information indicates no additional items are included.
