Christian Dior 61 Brandy Hobo Shoulder Bag

Q: What typically fits inside the Christian Dior 61 Brandy Hobo Shoulder Bag?
A: With approximate measurements of 36 x 27 x 17 cm, this bag is well suited to everyday essentials such as a wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses, a small cosmetics pouch, and other daily items. Its hobo shape also gives a little flexibility, but we recommend checking the Measurements on this page for the best idea of capacity.

Q: Can this bag be worn comfortably on the shoulder?
A: Yes. This style has dual handles and a handle drop of approximately 24 cm, which is generally comfortable for shoulder carry. No separate long strap is listed in the product information, so it should be considered a shoulder bag rather than a crossbody style.

Q: What is the condition of this bag?
A: The overall condition is listed as Very Good. The exterior shows scuffing on the piping and corners, along with scratches. The interior is noted as very good with stains, and the hardware is shiny with light scratches and some tarnishing on the handles. As this is a vintage item, these signs of wear are normal and part of its character.

Q: What product information is included with this item?
A: The product information for this bag includes a dust bag, authenticity card, and receipt. If you would like confirmation of any specific included item before purchase, it is always best to check with customer care.

Q: Is this bag authentic?
A: Yes. A Retro Tale states that every item it sells is authenticated by in-house experts through a multi-step review process. This bag also comes with an authenticity card and receipt listed in the product information.

Q: How should I care for the brown leather?
A: For day-to-day care, wipe the leather gently with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth and avoid harsh cleaning products. Store the bag in its dust bag, lightly stuffed to help maintain its shape, and keep it away from prolonged sunlight, heat, and moisture. Because this is vintage leather, gentle handling is recommended.

Q: Will this bag fit a laptop or tablet?
A: It may fit a small tablet or slim essentials for work, but it is not ideal as a dedicated laptop bag. Most laptops can feel bulky in a soft hobo silhouette, so we would recommend it more for daily personal items than for carrying heavier tech.

Q: Where was this bag made?
A: The country of origin listed for this item is Italy, which is consistent with many Christian Dior leather bags from the vintage period.
