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 crafted from smooth black leather, its only embellishment an oval
“CD” logo embossed on the exterior and a crisp gold “Christian Dior” stamp in
serif type at the inner corner—details that anchor it to the early 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, with 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 construction methods of the period.
Condition is very good, with light surface scuffs on the leather and slight
softening at the fold; the interior fabric is clean and intact throughout.
