Q: How secure is the closure and what is the interior layout?
A: The bag features a zip‑top main compartment for everyday security, a beige canvas lining and one internal zipped pocket to keep valuables organised. There is also a front zipped pocket accented with the ‘Christian Dior’ signature for quick‑access items.

Q: What is the front zipped pocket best used for?
A: It’s ideal for low‑profile items such as a cardholder, travel cards, receipts or keys. Bulky objects are not recommended here as they may distort the silhouette.

Q: What materials and finish does this piece have, and where is it made?
A: This bag is crafted in black and white leather with gold‑tone hardware, and it is labelled Made in Italy. Natural variations in leather grain and light signs of wear are normal for a pre‑loved piece.

Q: Is the bag heavy to carry?
A: The Small Vibe Zip Bowling is structured yet compact, designed to feel comfortable for day‑to‑night use. If you’re sensitive to weight, we’re happy to provide an exact scale weight for this specific item on request.

Q: How should I care for the leather (especially the light panels) and hardware?
A: Keep the bag away from moisture, oils and prolonged sunlight. Be mindful of colour transfer from dark denim onto the white/light leather. Wipe with a soft, dry cloth; condition smooth leather sparingly with a high‑quality neutral product (test first on a discreet area). Store upright, lightly stuffed, in a breathable dust bag, and pad the strap/handles to prevent pressure marks. Hardware can show fine hairline scratches with normal use—avoid contact with abrasive surfaces.

Q: Where are the brand markings and codes typically found?
A: Authentic Dior bags usually feature a “Christian Dior Paris” interior heat‑stamp and a discreet date/production code, often on or behind a small leather tag or within a pocket. Placement and format can vary by model and year—let us know if you’d like close‑up photos of this exact piece.

Q: What accessories are included and how do you authenticate?
A: For this item we list: dust bag, authenticity card, brand booklet and a detachable shoulder strap under “Accessories.” If an accessory isn’t mentioned there, it isn’t included.
