As a part of luxury label Dior's Summer 2018 launch, Dior Homme's Atlier line released a series of traditional luggage silhouettes. The capsule is produced in its namesake atelier located in Paris, France and has a total of four different bags in the series. All the offerings are constructed in an agile and hard-wearing grained calfskin material.
The new Dior Homme Atelier collection is comprised of a backpack, a briefcase, a handheld weekend bag and a crossbody pouch. All four offerings boast the label's branding details on a white print or a taping detail. A notable detail from the new capsule are the pockets constructed specifically for laptops, phones, keys or wallet placements.
The Dior Homme Atelier capsule will be releasing on the Dior Homme website in the upcoming months.
