"Christian Dior" Malice Pearl Series greige color canvas shoulder bag

Founded by Christian Dior in 1946, and having continued to flourish from haute couture to the present day, we are pleased to present an exquisite piece from Christian Dior—one of the label’s true treasures.

From Christian Dior’s early-2000s archives, this is one of the highly rare “MALICE PEARL (Maris Pearl)” series pieces. Bearing the name Malice—“mischief,” this line symbolizes the fusion of Dior’s avant-garde sensibility and a feminine aesthetic. Its standout appeal lies in the distinctive design elements that are not seen in the current collection.

The body uses a greige-toned herringbone-style canvas; thanks to the dimensionality of the weave, it creates a deep, multidimensional expression while still maintaining a neutral tone. In addition, the half-moon hard parts placed at the center are discreetly engraved with the brand logo, and the refined contrast between matte leather and silver metal serves as an elegant accent.

The strap section—the defining feature of this series—features metal pearls in varying sizes arranged in succession, giving the impression of an accessory. It is a detail that reflects Dior’s graceful playfulness, allowing you to wear it with the same sense as jewelry. At the same time, the main body of the strap is crafted from supple leather, offering excellent shoulder fit and a design considerate of practicality.

Inside, a signature jacquard woven with Dior’s initials “CD” is carefully constructed, with the aesthetic carried through even to the lining. The size may be compact, but it features a gusset width, so it can securely hold the essentials for everyday use—such as a smartphone, card case, and lip products.

Due to its original design motifs and structured form, the Maris Pearl series has been reappraised as a symbol of 2000s Y2K mode. In particular, this simple yet refined greige canvas model is a rare find that is easy to incorporate into your look.

For styling, we recommend a minimalist coordinate that highlights the bag’s silhouette—such as pairing it with a supple wool gabardine set-up, or combining it with a structured-pattern black jacket. And to make the most of the decorative elements, if you keep accessories to a minimum, you can enjoy a look in which the bag itself takes center stage as a work of form.

We invite you to experience it.
