Christian Dior, the founder of one of the world’s top fashion houses, was a man full of artistic talents but also put his faith in clairvoyance which is a well-known fact. From heart-shaped talismans, a sprig of lily of the valley, a gold star, a four-leaf clover, and a piece of wood to naming haute couture pieces and perfumes after his much-loved dog Bobby he has done it all. He believed in luck and luck favored him. For Dior’s Fall 2020 collection, Maria Grazia Chiuri introduced a new silhouette to the French fashion house’s repertoire of It bags: the Dior Bobby which pays homage to the lovely pooch of the master himself. The Dior Bobby is a rounded flap that is similar to the D-fence bag with the classic CD logo. Got to admit, the Bobby offers the best size for a bag that’s meant to be functional, easy to strut around in while looking like a million bucks. The Dior Bobby is a sassy shoulder bag that’s well suited for today’s call for practicality. Its feminine curve and the ‘30 Montaigne’ address on the back, render a subtle echo of the eponymous symbolic bag. If you like your bags small but not too small the Dior Bobby comes in a variety of sizes-small (18cm x 14cm x 5cm), medium (22cm x 17cm x 6cm), and large (27cm x 19.5cm x 8cm). Dior Bobby is undoubtedly one of their most versatile offerings that can be carried in the hand, worn on the shoulder, or cross-body thanks to its detachable shoulder straps. The bag comes in four colors – black, white, camel, and blue Dior Oblique canvas and the detachable straps come in matching leathers or an embroidered version. The fun centers around the possibility of mixing and matching the above-mentioned for an unswerving couture result.
The bag is expected to launch in June 2020 and shows incredible potential in having a good run as an ‘It bag’. The future certainly holds several more variations that will grab our eyes and for good reason. For now, Dior Bobby bag will sell for $3,900 for the large size, $3,300 for medium, and $2,900 for the smallest size.
