Be Distinctive: 5 Dior Bags to Add to Your Luxury Accessory Collection
Christian Dior is a name synonymous with glamour and sophistication. If you want to round out your luxury accessories collection, look no further than Dior bags.
You don't have to buy Dior bags brand new. You can find pre owned Dior handbags in excellent condition at curated secondary marketplaces like Luxury Promise. It's practical to buy used Christian Dior handbags; you won't have to break the bank to acquire these rare finds you can cherish for a lifetime.
The following are some second-hand Dior handbags you should consider adding to your luxury accessories collection.
1. Lady Dior
No Dior handbags collection is complete without a Lady Dior bag. If you know your handbag history, then you will recall that this bag shot to fame in 1995 when Lady Diana (yes, of the British royal family) was photographed wearing it on her arm.
In truth, the bag already existed (albeit obscurely) before Lady Diana popularised it. However, when Lady Diana wore it, and people saw it, it achieved both fame and a special name — Lady Dior for Lady Di.
Just the name, Lady Dior, should conjure an image of a squarish leather bag with stout, rounded leather handles. The current iteration is made with soft lambskin.
Like the first-ever version of the bag, Lady Dior has a quilted appearance due to its Cannage motif topstitching. It comes with silver- or gold-finish hardware and D, I, O, and R metal charms. You may use it with a leather strap, a removable chain, or embroidered straps.
Lady Dior comes in five sizes — micro, mini, small, medium, and large — and is available in vibrant colours like this lime green mini Lady Dior bag or this lambskin Cannage medium Lady Dior in red.
2. 30 Montaigne
The 30 Montaigne bag is a squat and boxy leather bag that gets its name from the “30 Montaigne” embossed on the back panel. This pertains to the house of Dior’s address, 30 Avenue Montaigne in Paris, France.
The Montaigne bag has a “CD” (for Christian Dior) metal clasp at the front and a leather strap with a military-inspired “Christian Dior” inscribed buckle. It has an interior zip pocket, a phone pocket and a back pocket.
The bag comes with antique-gold finish metal hardware and is available in various dreamy colours like this blush pink Montaigne bag. Other colours include taupe, amber, cedar green, grey, burgundy, pale yellow, latte, and black.
3. Dior Book Tote
This is a favourite among women who need space to carry more than a phone and lipstick (i.e., read: all women) because of its ample space. This tote bag, particularly the one in large size, has enough space to fit a regular-size laptop.
Other hallmarks include a classic, understated silhouette and a variety of motifs and colours. It has “Christian Dior Paris” written on the front (the lettering is embossed on the leather iterations of the bag), and it has two elongated handles which will allow you to hold it or wear it over your shoulder.
The Dior Book Tote bag comes in various materials. There are book totes in soft leather (like this preloved Christian Dior Book Tote in medium taupe calfskin), grained leather, engraved and hand-painted leather, and embossed and perforated leather. Other materials include cotton, canvas, and natural Cannage raffia.
4. Saddle
Lady Dior is, hands-down, the most recognisable Dior bag. However, Dior’s Saddle bag probably comes in as a close second. The Saddle is one of the most iconic luxury bags of any brand because of its memorable saddlebag silhouette.
The Saddle is a product of John Galliano's imagination. The Saddle has maintained its classic silhouette throughout its countless iterations, making it instantly recognisable to anyone familiar with designer bags.
Today, Dior Saddle bags come in two sizes, medium and mini, and various materials. It comes in cotton, canvas, jacquard, satin, and leather (grained, smooth, embroidered, and engraved).
The Saddle also comes in different designs. One of the most popular is the oblique pattern, like the one on this embroidered canvas saddle pouch bag.
5. Diorever
If you love Hermes Birkin bags, you might want to look up the Diorever bag.
Diorever is a discontinued handbag line. When it first came out with its structural, trapezoid shape, a single handle, and a reversible flap, people were immediately reminded of the Birkin.
Like the Birkin, it was designed to be a sturdy everyday tote bag. It came in mini, medium and large and was made of calfskin. Unlike the Birkin, however, Diorever came with a leather strap so it could be worn cross-body style.
Since Diorever has been discontinued, the only way you can get this bag is through a pre-owned Dior bag marketplace.
