"Christian Dior" 70's-80's Radial drape design gold chain leather shoulder bag

Since its founding, the concept has been "elegant."

Even today, this tradition is expressed in various ways.

From Christian Dior,

We would like to introduce you to some very valuable items.

This masterpiece, with its radial leather draping and elegant gold chain, brings the atmosphere of social occasions of the past right to your wrist.

The core of this model is the idea of ​​creating a bag not as a "box," but as something that "appeals with shadows" like a dress. The leather that covers the entire flap changes luster depending on the angle at which it catches the light, and although it is black, it has a design that does not dull in appearance.

A round metal logo is placed at the apex of the pleats, which are arranged to converge in the center, so the eye is naturally drawn to one point, creating a balanced look that makes even the movements when holding the bag look neat and tidy.

Furthermore, the luxury that is characteristic of vintage Dior is not about "adding glamour" but about "reducing it to functional beauty that can be felt when you touch it." The use of a magnetic snap to open and close the flap is symbolic, and the way it snaps shut gives us a sense of the way it was carefully treated as a "new level of smartness" at the time.

The contrast between the classic appearance and the surprisingly smooth movement adds to its vintage appeal.

The body is square-based, and the lines are not too sharp, so it captures the softness of the drape while keeping the outline intact.The beauty of this piece is that it still looks neat even when worn with everyday outfits, and the addition of a chain naturally brings it into the evening mood.

Furthermore, as the "PARIS NEW YORK" engraving indicates, the bag embodies the spirit of an era when Parisian esprit and New York rationality intersected, and rather than speaking through gaudy decoration, the bag's appearance quietly embodies an attitude of translating urban practicality into elegance.

The elements of draping, chains, and functional opening and closing are not merely decorative, but are all part of the refined methodology of the time, which is why even when incorporated into modern clothing, it stands out as a sense of dignity rather than being outdated.

In terms of styling, simply adding it to an outfit that combines a simple knit with neat bottoms will naturally add volume to your hands, and if you balance it so that the chain peeks out quietly from the cuffs of a jacket or long coat, it will create a beautiful look that will last until the evening, regardless of gender.

Please take this opportunity.
