As an “It” bag of this season, Dior Le Trente Drawstring Tote embodies the feminine charm and modern tone, becoming an excellent collection for Dior aficionado.
You may wonder why this bag is named “Trente”. In French “Trente” means thirty. The name is originated from the address of House of Dior since 1946, 30 Avenue, Montaigne Paris where the Dior flagship store is located. A personal drawing studio in this prestigious architecture witnesses many pieces of masterpieces designed by Dior creative director, John Galliano. This bag features sumptuous lambskin leather and a softly gathered ruching details, different from the previous drawstring tote. Adding the great ruffle around the edges is actually chic. Two leather handles and double silver-plated chains make the whole bag more feminine and appealing. Detachable metal “CD” jewelry dangles from the drawstring. It measures about 40 x 30 x 16cm with an interior pocket to hold your daily essentials.
Besides, this bag is versatile, and it can go perfectly with your outfit. You could simply carry this tote during casual days with a cute tee and jeans, or work days with your pencil skirt and a collared top, or even this vacation season with your light-weathered getup. With a price of $1,200, this Dior bag is definitely a great investment piece to add to your collection.
To celebrate his 10th anniversary at the house of Dior, John Galliano re-designed 12 saddle bags, each representing a country where he traveled. One bag, one country. Now follow me to have a world circumnavigation.
As the homage to Egypt, Dior Egypt Saddle Bag comes in the shape of black satin embroidered with gold sequins and finished with a lapis lazuli-studded D. This bag embodies a lot of elements of Ancient Egypt, a land of great wonder. Appreciate it placidly; you can see the Pyramids of Giza, the lighthouse of Alexandria, the Egyptian Sphinx, and the Egyptian Sun God etc. With Gold and Black ‘CD’ Logo and D ‘D’ charm, it looks like modern-day Cleopatre.
The Morocco Saddle Bag features white crepe. The pattern on the bag is originated from the classic Morocco geometric tile pattern. As we all know Moroccan tiles are historic tiles dated many centuries ago. They are rich of complex geometric patterns are regarding as the most recognizable visual expressions of Moroccan art. The blue geometric design matching with polished silver metal ‘CD’ charms and white handles creates a perfect saddle bag with Morocco style.
Now we continue our journey of world circumnavigation with Dior Saddle Bags. China, India, Japan are typical representation of Asia. Now take a close look at Dior China Saddle Bag, Dior India Saddle Bag and Dior Japan Saddle Bag.
Dior China Saddle Bag features embroidery of a majestic Chinese Dragon and Dragon themed strap and ‘D’ charm to vividly illustrate the essence of China. The dragon embodied by golden thread adds the oriental imperial flavor to this bag. The jasper and corallites enchased on the CD logo with the dragon strap fully exhibit unique characteristics of China. John Galliano once said, “China and its millenarian culture fascinate me. I wanted the majestically mandarin dragon over the coral fabric reproduced in this bag and also on the logo, where I used jade and coral stones”.
With a black satin embroidered base, this Japan Saddle Bag is inspired by the obi of a kimono (a traditional decorative cloth worn at the waist). Origami-like stitching in reds and intricate detailing circle the centre and the CD rivets and swing D are lacquered in geisha red and adorned with black crochet pom-pom.
India Saddle Bag features the mulberry Sari, the Indian traditional cloth enchased many small bells and beads, representing the Indian tradition that gold has the magic to clean everything. Around the CD charms are small bells. Your every movement can compose the wonderful melody.

Dior two-Textured Leather Satchel features a fan shape with soft pleats. It is roomy enough to keep your daily essentials and more with a size of 20 x 11 x 4 inches. The inner zipped pocket sitting on the nylon lining adds its practicality. And the unique shape, gothic buckles and textured trim with grommets make this bag irresistible.

Those fashionistas begin to seek after a stylish shopping bag which enables her to be perfect appearance and the leader of fashion.
This season, Christian Dior released a series of shopping bags. The simply style with the classic Cannage is absolutely indifferent from other dust bags or boxes. The Dior Black Patent made of soft patent lambskin with ‘Cannage’ stitching Soft bag is my favorite. Silver-tone metal D I O R letters dangle from the handles. The chic leather and the shiny hanging logo charm add radiance and beauty to each other. With the double leather handles and silver-tone metal rings you can carry it on the shoulder or in the hands. Measuring at 33 *38 *10 cm, it is roomy for your shopping goods while with the standing feet you don’t have to carry all your stuff all the time.

Crocodile can be regarded as one of the classic leather for bags and will never get out of the trend. A lot have already come out and yet, even though the season is changing, more and more croc skinned bags are surfacing the market. I have nothing against that though it is becoming quite boring, but still, they are indeed versatile and will definitely last for long.
Anyway, so Dior has crafted a bag named Dior 61 Croc-Stamped Patent Hobo. It is obviously in croc-stamped patent leather with polished silver metal hardware and a removable silver metal oversized D charm that is somehow becoming their signature.
The bag also has a flap top with magnetic closure, and opening it would lead to two front flat pockets. The interior is in nylon lining, and also has a leather-trimmed zipped pocket and two other flat pockets. The handbag can be carried with its single handle in rolled patent leather and silver metal with link attachments.
Measuring 13 x 12 x 5.5 inches and with a price of $1,550, this bag would be of a worthy investment which you could use anywhere and anytime you want.

It is easy to create an elegant bag or a simple bag. Nevertheless, to create a bag combined elegance and simplicity is not a easy task. It takes a lot of careful detailing and designing to create such a bag. It can be elegant but not simple, and it can be simple but not elegant. But this Medium Dior Tote is made with elegance in simplicity.
Dior was able to create a not too simple and not too elegant bag by designing it perfectly with both. They were able to show elegance in plainness. They created this bag by using soft grained leather from calfskin that creates the smooth texture of this bag. This bag is dyed a striking color which makes it attractive and stylish. This Tote by Dior is designed with a silver toned handle along with the traditional Dior charm which gives accent to it.
This tote includes a clasp closure with an inside zip and two additional open pockets. It also has two outside pockets located on the seam line. Measured at 15.5 inch wide, 10.5 inch high and 6 inch deep makes it efficient for everyday use. Just by using simple materials and designs, Dior was able to create such an elegant looking tote which is so amazing.
This elegant Tote by Dior is priced for as much as $1,850.00, a price just right for what this bag can give you.
With a stylish and fabulous appeal, this Diorita Contrast Twist Medium Tote from Dior is a perfect handbag for spring and summer. Its color combination is very much in the season and so as its woven-like material.
This looks very light although the pricing is ironically very hefty at $2,800. It is crafted from intricately twisted smooth grained and metallic leather, combining both to add a classy style. These twisted leathers seem to be woven, but looking at it carefully would tell that this is just meticulously twisted to add an interesting style. Polished gold metal hardware also adds to its overall elegance, as well as with the oversized leather and metal D charm that dangles from the buckled leather strap.
This Dior bag holds a dimension at about 16 x 10 x 4.5 inches and has a fine textile lining with leather-trimmed zipped, patch and cell phone pockets on the inside. It has flat handles with golden logo-engraved trimmings on each side. The zip top closure is somewhat a turn off as this could be a hindrance to let you fill it with all your vacation essentials. But anyway, this would be a great carry to simply complete a seasoned look.
Complementing this Dior Diorita Contrast Twist Medium Tote with a maxi dress would surely be great to pull off a really feminine and stylish spring and summer look or with any other light-weathered ensemble for the season.
