According to Insiders, the Highly Coveted Lady Dior Bag Has Reached Cult Status

The Collection is a series that highlights the latest collections from our favorite luxury brands, be it a seasonal capsule, an exclusive collab, or anything in between. We'll include everything you need to know about each new launch and a curated list of our favorite pieces.

Every year, the assortment of luxury handbags on the market becomes more and more appealing, making it increasingly difficult for a bag to reach cult status. There are just so many options to choose from. We have our trend-driven bags (think micro-mini bags or logomania) and our classics (e.g. the standard shoulder bag or the raffia tote). Sometimes, the lines blur, and our classics become the trendy items to covet (ahem, quiet luxury). But despite the labels and ever-changing trend cycle, one bag always sticks out from the crowd: the timeless Lady Dior Bag.

Celebrities, influencers, and fashion people across the globe don this architectural handbag season after season. The Lady Dior embodies the essence and excellence of Dior style, putting a magnifying glass to the brand's vision of elegance and beauty. Make no mistake—the Lady Dior is not just a bag. It's a symbol that we'll carry under our arms for years to come.

In celebration of Lady Dior, an iconic emblem of the fashion house, the designer launched an exclusive campaign highlighting the multiple facets of femininity. Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Rosalía was named Dior’s new global ambassador, and this is a collaboration that just makes sense. She has captivated an audience that comes for her music and stays for her compelling fashion choices on and off the stage. Rosalía embodies the essence of luxury and sophistication, making the Lady Dior her own by infusing it with her signature flair.

It's all in the details, and when it came to reinventing this highly coveted accessory, the team did not hold back. It's crafted in leather (matte or patent) and adorned in Cannage stitching—a pattern that expresses the unique savoir faire of the house's ateliers—to create that signature quilted texture. The gold-finish D.I.O.R. charms are the final touch of grace and illuminate the bag's excellent silhouette. The architectural design features a removable chain shoulder strap, so the bag can be carried by hand or worn crossbody. With its delicate charms and exquisite craftsmanship, the Lady Dior Bag is more than just an accessory—it's a work of art.

It wouldn't be a Who What Wear story without some styling tips. Rosalía styles her Lady Dior bag with classic, paired-back silhouettes to give this accessory the spotlight it deserves. We love the poplin button-up, Bar Jacket, and staple trench coat, and if you're looking to step out of your comfort zone this season, the Lady Dior comes in 14 colors. (The pastel yellow has my name written all over it.) Take it from day to night in a linen dress and pointed-toe heels, or throw on a pair of oversize jeans, Mary Janes, and a white tee for daytime activities. No matter what you decide to wear, you'll always have an element of elegance when the Lady Dior is by your side.
