The striking cannage on the Lady Dior and some of Dior’s most iconic bags is an enduring symbol of the house, so it makes sense that creative director Maria Grazia Chiuri will be inspired by it for their it-bag of Spring/Summer 2024. Enter: the Dior Jolie.
Debuting alongside the ready-to-wear pieces on the runway, you can see it as an on-the-go version of the more elegant and precious, Lady Dior, or a practical top handle design that takes after the Caro — either way the bag very much retains what we love about these two inspirations, from its timeless structured design to the quilted cannage pattern.
In neutral tones of Black, Latte White and Powder Beige, there are several keen details that make the calfskin leather bag an instant classic. It starts with a gilded clasp right at the double flap design, bearing the letters “CD”, then further enriched by a freshwater pearl in the centre for a touch of femininity.
Classic rectangular shape aside, there’s also versatility in its detachable chain strap, which comprises of delicately entwined links that also recall Christian Dior’s initials, accented by white resin pearls. The Dior Jolie bag is available in either a mini or small format.
Take a look at how it looks on some of these celebrities and style influencers, including house ambassador Jisoo!
