"Christian Dior" John Galliano period Gathering design leather hand bag

Since our founding, we have upheld “elegance” as our concept,

and even today, that tradition is expressed in many ways—yet

it continues to be passed down. From Christian Dior, we present an exquisite exceptional piece.

Born in the Galliano era, this archive piece—highly valuable in its rarity—boasts a finish where architectural beauty and sculptural ornamentation are fused with remarkable harmony.

As its defining feature, first and foremost, is the delicate gathering applied across the entire body. While generously ruching the greysih-toned lambskin, the design guides the material into a perfectly balanced three-dimensional form, transforming it into a unique sculptural expression where a soft sense of material and a firm, structured beauty coexist.

On the central flap, woven details and stud motifs—each with a different look—are incorporated. With the gradual interplay between a matte texture and a hint of gloss, it creates an air that is reminiscent of a single sculptural artwork.

Especially captivating is the geometric decorative element set at the front center. Through deep, light-absorbing smoky gray acrylic, the overall impression of the bag gains a sense of gravitas and an enchanting play of shadows.

The handle features a design that appears as though multiple wires have been wrapped in a spiral. While it evokes the precision of jewelry, functionality and the presence of an art piece coexist beautifully.

Dior of the Galliano era was a time when romanticism and avant-garde spirit fused in a perfectly balanced way—and this exceptional piece carries precisely that essence in its design. The handcraft and sense of form that are not seen in current collections, along with a sculptural approach that transcends time, can be said to hold special value even for collectors.

For example, this is the kind of piece suited to those who seek sculptural elements and a sense of storytelling in their attire. It is also for those who wish to carry a quiet sense of the extraordinary within everyday life—those who value a style that captivates others not by shouting the brand logo at first glance, but by drawing them in with an atmosphere of “something different.”

In addition, even while stepping one pace away from trends, it is finished to complement the style of those who want to wear carefully selected items with a steadfast aesthetic eye—and those who can truly judge value with their own eyes. As a result, you can enjoy it not only on special occasions, but also by intentionally incorporating it into your daily wardrobe, where it will further highlight that person’s own sense of beauty.

For styling, you can draw out an even more artistic balance by pairing it with highly structured pieces such as no-collar jackets or high-waisted slacks. Alternatively, layering it with smooth satin or tops with drape will make the contrast with the bag’s rigid, sculptural volume especially striking—so you can enjoy an outfit with depth and sophistication worthy of advanced styling.

We warmly invite you to take this opportunity.
