Deep Dive on Dior


Dior is one of the most iconic luxury brands in the world. It was founded in 1946 by Christian Dior and he revolutionized post-war fashion by designing pieces with cinched waists and full skirts. He called it the “New Look” and it forever changed women’s fashion!

The New Look 
Christian Dior’s debut collection celebrated ultra-feminity with rounded shoulders, voluminous skirts, and cinched waists. The most famous design was the Bar Suit which featured a padded skirt and a tailored jacket. Dior still sells the iconic bar jacket at their boutique!

Dior also created its signature perfume called “Miss Dior” which was named after his sister, Catherine Dior. It’s been almost 80 years since the perfume’s debut and it is still a staple fragrance for many women around the world! 

Lady Dior 
Dior introduced accessories around the same time he released his first collection, however the most iconic handbag was introduced in 1994. The Lady Dior bag was named in honor of Princess Diana. 

This timeless bag has evolved to different variations such as:
Lady D-Lite
Lady D-Joy
Lady ABC 

This classic bag has stood the test of time and it remains one of the most iconic handbags in the world! 

Saddle Bag
The Saddle bag was introduced in 1999 and it was famously worn by Carrie Bradshaw in Sex and the City. It quickly became the “it girl” bag in the early 2000s! The saddle bag features the signature saddle shape and it was designed by John Galliano. 

This Y2K era bag has kept the it-bag status and it continues to be one of Dior’s best selling bags. 


Oblique Canvas 
If you’re familiar with luxury then you’ve probably seen the Oblique print on clothing, handbags, and shoes. The oblique canvas was revealed in 1967 and it has become the brand’s most famous symbol. The jacquard canvas has been featured in almost every Dior collection since its debut!

Dior has proven to be a name that is synonymous with elegance, classic, and modern luxury. Christian Dior paved the way for many designers after his time and it continues to be one of the leading fashion houses in the world. 

It is one of my favorite brands because of its rich history and groundbreaking designs. These bags will continue to stay relevant for years to come. You can find the iconic Dior bags for a fraction of the price at our store!
