Description
Model History:
The Dior Oblique motif was created in 1967 by Marc Bohan, then Artistic Director of the house. This woven monogram, which gained cult status in the 2000s, has enjoyed a marked renaissance since the late 2010s. Used in both leather goods and ready-to-wear lines, it embodies Dior’s visual DNA with its retro yet contemporary aesthetic. This wallet is part of this line of functional pieces enhanced by iconic design.
Exterior Details:
The black slanting canvas features a dense, durable woven texture, adorned with the repeating “Dior” motif in tone-on-tone. The “DIOR” logo in silver lettering is discreetly affixed to the lower right front panel. The corners and edge feature a soft yet well-structured construction, allowing the wallet to retain its shape. Compact, it slips easily into a bag or clutch without bulk.
Interior Details:
The smooth black leather interior is functionally organized: 16 card slots, a central zipped compartment for change, two slots for bills or receipts, plus two additional flat pockets. Closure is by a simple flap, with no buttons or fasteners, which maintains a slim profile when closed. The finish is meticulous, with discreet, regular stitching.
Product Condition:
This wallet shows very good overall condition for a vintage accessory. The outer canvas is intact, albeit with a slight patina on the inside. The interior leather is well preserved, supple, with no cracks, and the zipper is functional. There are a few micro-scratches from use on the leather and metal parts.
Care instructions:
To preserve the slanted canvas, avoid prolonged exposure to moisture and sunlight. Clean the outer surface with a soft, dry cloth. The interior leather can be nourished occasionally with a care product suitable for smooth leather. When storing, it is advisable not to overload the compartments to avoid deformation.
