From Maria Grazia Chiuri’s Dior spring-summer 2023 ready-to-wear show collection there was one very real handbag that just rocketed to the top of editors’ wish lists. The new ladylike model with elegant top handle straps and an ingenious detail evoking the CD signature provides the finishing touch to a retro-infused collection that reimagined the classic Dior silhouette: DIOR Toujours. Conceived according to the highest standards of craftsmanship, this object of desire embodies the virtuosity of Dior’s leather ateliers. Each step in its manufacture requires infinite meticulousness, from cutting the leather to applying the macrocannage motif.For fans of the chic Lady Dior bag and the classic St Honoré tote – two quintessential Dior top handle styles – should consider this new companion with discreet gold hardware a more bookish addition to the family. For on-the-go women whose focus is practicality rather than vanity, like Chiuri herself this is a perfect modern – and covetable – proposition.
