I have always wanted a Dior handbag, as I feel a personal connection to the brand (specifically, the archival pieces since my birthday is the same day as the New Look debut). I have a Bar suit with the slim skirt, but while in Paris, found this little bag I was instantly drawn to. No clasps, no glaring hardware or logo, it felt like a practical and subtle application of the cannage motif. I felt like I could see myself wearing it daily in place of a small black crossbody. I like that it’s a little more fancy, since my style tends to be more casual, edgy, or eclectic.
But I own several bags that serve similar, if not the same, function! And I couldn’t help but notice upon returning to the States how “basic” I felt when I wore it. Like a college sorority girl or something (no offense). It also reminds me of the LV toiletry bag and how some people add a chain to it to wear as a purse. Am I too in my head about this? Does it scream “her first Dior”?
