Vintage Dior Leather Bifold Wallet Late 1980s Black

Paris, c. 1990—Gianfranco Ferré at Dior approached the accessories studio like an architect, shaping even the smallest leather goods with quiet discipline. This bifold wallet is cut from smooth black leather, its only ornament an oval 'CD' logo embossed on the exterior and a crisp gold 'Christian Dior' stamp in serif type at the interior corner—details that anchor it to the first years of Ferré's tenure and the maison’s focus on structure and permanence.

The silhouette is slim and precise, opening to reveal a black fabric-lined main compartment and six card slots, all seams and edges finished to a near-matte polish. There is no visible hardware beyond the interior gold stamping; no serial or date code is present, in keeping with the period’s construction.

Condition is very good, with light surface scuffs to the leather and gentle softening at the fold; the interior fabric is clean and intact throughout.
