Creative director Maria Grazia Chiuri makes a bold choice for a Dior boho-style bag. Although the 90s fashion craze is still in full swing, stylish consumers are starting to reminisce about the early 2000s. In an attempt to predict the trajectory of the contemporary fashion movement, couture label Dior updates a purse from its 2000 Spring/Summer Ready-to-Wear collection.
The chosen design is a cross-body purse that has the irregular shape of a saddle. This equestrianism-inspired silhouette is contemporarily transformed into boho-style bags that boast playful colorful patches, as well as all-denim prints. In addition, Maria Grazia Chiuri offers a timeless take on the saddle-shaped piece with sleek and refined leather silhouettes. Compact, miniature and hip, Dior's 2018 offering will delight consumers and even raise some nostalgia for those who remember the 2000s design.
