Christian Dior Lady Dior Patent Card Holder

Q: What fits inside this Christian Dior Lady Dior Patent Card Holder?
A: This compact piece is designed for everyday small essentials such as cards, business cards, folded notes and a few receipts. With its structured shape and internal compartments, it works best as a slim organiser rather than a full wallet.

Q: What are the dimensions of this card holder?
A: The measurements for this item are approximately 10.5 cm wide, 8 cm high and 3 cm deep. Please allow for minor variation depending on how the item is filled and stored.

Q: What material and finish does this piece have?
A: This card holder is crafted in lilac Cannage quilted patent leather with silver-tone hardware and the signature D.I.O.R. charm. Patent leather has a glossy finish that gives the piece its polished look.

Q: How is it closed?
A: It features a flap closure, helping keep your cards and small essentials neatly contained while maintaining the structured Lady Dior silhouette.

Q: Is this card holder suitable for carrying coins?
A: It is primarily intended for cards and other slim essentials. Very small flat items may fit, but it is not the most practical choice for loose coins or bulkier everyday contents.

Q: What condition is this item in?
A: This piece is listed in very good condition. It shows light traces of use, including small marks on the exterior, light signs of wear inside, and shiny hardware with light scratches.

Q: Does patent leather require special care?
A: Yes. Patent leather should be handled with a little extra care to help preserve its shine. It is best to wipe it gently with a soft cloth, avoid abrasive products, and keep it away from rough surfaces, excess heat, humidity and strongly colour-dyed materials that may cause transfer.

Q: Can patent leather mark or develop colour transfer over time?
A: It can. Like many glossy patent finishes, it may show surface marks, fingerprints or colour transfer more easily than some matte leathers, especially if stored against dark fabrics or in warm conditions. Careful storage and gentle handling help minimise this.

Q: What is included with this item?
A: This card holder comes with a box. For the most accurate overview of what is included, please refer to the product information on this page.

A: At A Retro Tale, all items are carefully checked for authenticity by specialists with experience in luxury vintage and second-hand designer accessories. Each piece is reviewed using details such as materials, construction, hardware and brand-specific features before being offered for sale.
