Story

Christian Dior named designs after his dog Bobby for luck, and the Bobby bag — a rounded half-moon flap bag with a CD buckle tab — became the house's everyday carrier. The wide embroidered Oblique strap is the signature: half saddle bag, half camera bag, entirely Dior.

Authentication checklist

1. The CD buckle tab is magnetic beneath the buckle — the flap should seat itself with a definite pull
2. Oblique strap lettering is woven jacquard, not printed — run a thumb over it; the motif has texture

Care notes

Grained leather is the workhorse finish: wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth, let it dry away from heat, and condition sparingly — over-conditioning darkens grained calfskin. Store the bag stuffed with acid-free paper, upright in its dust bag (not its box — leather needs airflow), away from direct sun and heat. Rest chains and hardware against a soft cloth so metal never presses into light leather for a season. Carry it in rotation rather than entombing it: leather that is aired, carried occasionally, and re-stuffed ages far better than leather stored untouched for years.
