Hood snap button defect

Since its founding, Christian Dior has continued to refine expressions that incorporate the spirit of haute couture and restrained elegance into everyday life, and here we introduce a masterpiece that conveys the maison's dignity through its material and structure.

This exquisite piece features a refined flap line and a subtle gold presence, adding a quiet confidence to your outfit.

First, the impressive aspect is the grain leather with a uniform fine embossing, which offers practicality by hiding scratches and irregularities, while the detailed shading created by light enhances its appearance when held. Moreover, the flap's design includes gentle curves rather than straight lines, leaving a soft impression within its classic elegance, and when carried on the shoulder, it balances softness and firmness without overly emphasizing rigidity.

At the center of the front, a metal button with the CD Monogram is placed, serving as a functional closure and also as a focal point that tightens the overall look. Its subtlety in not making the logo overly prominent yet conveying the brand's presence is beautiful. Additionally, a Christian Dior MADE IN FRANCE plate is carefully placed on the back of the flap, with a minimal exterior and a structure inside that speaks of quality, creating a sense of ownership that elevates your mood every time you use it.

Inside, divided into multiple compartments, naturally determines where belongings are kept, coexisting without contradiction with its neat appearance and ease of daily use. The straps also have a sleek line, making them stable along the body's movement, and this reliability enhances the outfit's completeness while maintaining a light, hands-free feel.

Regarding the era, in addition to the management label on the included box showing the department store name and the printing style typical of the time, the use of a metal plate with the full name Christian Dior differs from the logo usage after the 1990s, providing grounds to consider it as an item from the 1980s. Its design does not strongly assert trends but relies on material selection and surface beauty, which is also characteristic of the modest luxury during the Marc Bohan period.

It is especially recommended for those who seek not just a strong logo but also long-lasting sophistication and practicality. From work to dinners and weekend travel, it seamlessly adjusts the tone of your outfit without choosing the occasion, making it clearly worth holding in hand.

In terms of styling, pairing it with a tailored jacket and slacks creates a refined look, where the curves of the bag and the gold elements soften the formality, adding a touch of elegance and ease. When matched with a simple dress, the flap line guides the eye while adding a classic touch. Furthermore, adding it to a minimalist outfit, such as layering a shirt or knit with a long coat, subtly highlights the quality of the material, making it an elegant fit regardless of gender.

Take this opportunity.
