Dior Babe Bag

Dior Babe Bag

The house of Dior has released Ready To Wear ensembles that have ignited the senses and flowed perfectly on womens bodies. The problem is their handbag collection has been lacking greatly. Dior handbags have been rigid and lacking ingenuity, therefor the market for them has dwindled. They have had a few hits, but after the surge of loving the Dior Saddle Bag, the brand has yet to release a bag that garners a tenth of the attention the Saddle bag has done for them. But the Dior Babe Bag has begun to garner back the recognition the brand has been known for, offering a modern touch to a contemporary vibe. The Dior Babe Bag is designed with smooth grained leather and a circular logo-engraved silvertone handles. The handles are what brings the attention. It is an otherwise simple bag but then catches your attention with the modern touch of the circular handles. There are pintucked gathers on the front and back to give the bag the perfect amount of volume. Knowing that they had to do as much as they can to justify the price, Dior added a zipped clutch which is attached to a leather strap inside. This clutch can be left inside or removed to be carried separately. The clutch is cute enough to stand on its own and cute enough that I would buy it separately in the store, though it will not be offered separately. Dimensions are 15.5" (at widest point)x 8.5"x 6.5". This is the next hit from Dior and we are glad to see them making a comeback in the handbag world, even if it is small. Buy either purple or black (hands down I vote for purple) via eLuxury for $2,290.

Not for me...

love the color and the shape, but I think the silver ring is a little tacky...reminds me of something I saw at Claire's Jewelry.

And how uncomfortable would it be to carry that for any length of time?
Pass!

It's just nothing new...I have a bag that's maybe 5 years old that's very similar to that.

I have to agree with the others. It doesn't look like anything original or special. It looks nice, but not for that price.

I swear I've seen bags like this sold at dollar stores...I don't find anything unique about these bags...

What a gorgeous bag!

I've always been a Dior fan and have three bags. I'd like to add this one to my collection. It's really just perfect for me.

That leather looks soooo smooshy and soft, but I wouldn't pay that much for this bag. The style isn't jumping at me.

scarlett_2005 · Feb 19th, 2008, 11:59 PM

Not a fan of this bag.

its actually soooooooooo pretty in person. not to mention that they have it in zebra and leopard pony hair. Dior on 57th in NY just got in most of their bags last week... I've been dying to check it out

Pretty... but not for over 2K! I feel like it is something I might see at TJ Maxx for $30 and contemplate buying it for something cute to go out in. It doesn't seem practical and unique enough for that kind of money.

I love the color and the little pochette.
