Vintage Christian Dior CD Oval Medallion Doctor Bag
Made in France | Late 1970s – Early 1980s
A timeless and sophisticated vintage Christian Dior handbag from the late 1970s to early 1980s, crafted in France during the pre–Lady Dior era.

This structured doctor-style bag is beautifully executed in caramel-toned lizard-embossed calf leather and adorned with Dior’s iconic oval “CD” medallion closure in gold-tone hardware. The matching CD zipper charm and engraved interior plaque further highlight the maison’s heritage craftsmanship.

The silhouette is elegant and architectural, holding its shape beautifully while offering generous interior space. The interior is lined in smooth ivory leather and includes a zip pocket with original “Christian Dior – Made in France” plaque.
The bag features double top handles and comes with its original detachable shoulder strap, allowing it to be carried by hand or worn comfortably over the shoulder. It is accompanied by its original Christian Dior dust bag.

A refined collector’s piece that embodies classic Parisian sophistication. Vintage Dior bags from this era are increasingly sought after for their craftsmanship, structured silhouettes, and understated branding — making this a timeless investment addition to any curated collection.

Condition
Good vintage condition.
The bag retains its elegant structure and presents beautifully overall. The interior is clean and well preserved. Gold-tone hardware shows light, natural patina consistent with age.
There is visible wear to the bottom corners and base, including rubbing and subtle color variation from normal use over time. Minor paint wear is present along sections of the piping.
These signs of wear are consistent with a piece of this age and do not detract from its overall sophistication or functionality.
