Dior’s concept for the new year is literal this season: it’s all about luck, the timeless symbol of hope and prosperity. After all, what’s a new journey without a little fortune?

Lady Dior

Originally introduced in 1994 as the Chouchou, and immortalized by Princess Diana as the Lady Dior, the bag has seen multiple reinterpretations under John Galliano, Raf Simons, and Maria Grazia Chiuri. Now, Jonathan Anderson brings his own vision, inspired by his Irish heritage. From Clover Lucky Green to Buttercup, this season promises bold surprises for Dior accessories enthusiasts.

Dior Book Tote

The Book Cover Collection continues to merge literature and fashion, transforming classic book covers into wearable art. The latest bags feature embroidered designs of literary masterpieces such as Bram Stoker’s Dracula, Gustave Flaubert’s Madame Bovary, Truman Capote’s In Cold Blood, and Charles Baudelaire’s Les Fleurs du Mal.

Dior Bow

The bow remains a signature motif of the Maison, adding playful energy to the designs. The new collection embraces a romantic color palette, embodying soft-chic glamour. The Bow Bag takes center stage, celebrating femininity and the empowering spirit of the brand.
