Description
Model history
The Dior Oblique canvas was created in 1967 by Marc Bohan, the house’s artistic director at the time, but made a spectacular comeback under the Maria Grazia Chiuri era. This motif, now a pillar of Dior’s visual identity, boldly adorns this backpack model from 2020. Symbolizing the house’s renewal and a desire to reconnect with its archives, this bag is in line with the current trend for pieces with a strong heritage imprint, while retaining a contemporary style.
Exterior details
The bag features a blue Oblique printed canvas on the flap, framed by smooth navy blue leather trim on the corners and edges. The base of the bag, as well as its main body, is crafted in deep blue technical nylon, offering strength and lightness. Two metal clasps with chrome clips ensure closure, reinforcing the vintage satchel inspiration. At the back, two wide, adjustable straps in black webbing ensure comfortable carrying, while a rigid leather handle enables hand-carrying.
Interior details
The interior of the bag is compartmentalized into several sections: a large main area with a central zipped divider and a zipped pocket for small items. The tone-on-tone nylon lining ensures a neat, durable finish. It also has a small front pocket for fine objects. The presence of the “Christian Dior – Made in Italy” label testifies to the bag’s high-end craftsmanship. This backpack has been designed to hold documents, a tablet or a small computer, while remaining light and easy to handle.

This bag is in very good condition. The corners are in very good condition. The clasps are functional and shiny, and the straps are intact. The interior is clean and snag-free. It retains all its structure and high-end appearance. These are normal signs of a worn but well-maintained bag.
Maintenance tips
To preserve the fabric and nylon over time, we recommend cleaning the surface with a soft, slightly damp cloth and treating the leather with a special nourishing lotion from time to time. Avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight or humidity. When not in use, the bag should be kept in a dust-free cover to maintain the shine of the Oblique canvas and the durability of the leather.
