A few months ago my cousin was shopping for her wedding trousseau. She messaged me asking me my opinion about what bag to buy. What I didn't know was that she had already made up her mind. She chose a bag that suited her personality and one that was made out of the finest leather possible. A bag that was fun, fabulous, classic and gorgeous. A Diorrismo. She sent me a picture of her holding the bag at the Dior boutique in Dubai and the colour was just delicious. She needed something elegant, yet functional for daily use and she told me that she couldn't have found a better bag for her trousseau collection. I agree. Just for fun, I made her take two pictures of herself with her bag so I could show you guys the delicious colour that she bought her Dior in.
The Diorissimo's design stays true to Raf's minimalist aesthetic and I LOVE it. Even though it is a new classic from the house of Dior, it is still youthful as ever. It comes with a smooth calfskin (also in python, ostrich & crocodile) exterior as opposed to the signature quilted cannage leather. My favourite part is the interior which is of a contrasting colour (I'm a sucker for colour blocking anyways) giving the bag a very fresh look. In terms of the structure, its sturdy, but not stiff and has a bit of a slouch which is great. When a bag is too stiff it's hard to expand it. Even though the bag is sans zipper to close it, the magnetic button is good enough to ensure all your essentials are safe. The closure on the sides mean you can expand or cinch the bag as per your liking. It comes with an adorable interior pouch which is as pretty as the bag itself. And you can't miss the pretty DIOR charms which have been covered in leather for the SS 14 collection.
People wonder why these bags are so expensive and I keep reiterating the fact that the beauty lies in the way they are made. The Diorissimo's making is almost couture like. Little hammer taps to even out the leather, a saddle stitcher to put the skins together, hand painted leather; the making features utmost precision and artistry. You can watch the making of the bag video below. You'll also notice that the craftsmen wear gloves to protect the leather whilst working on the bag.
So the next time you consider investing in a bag that will last you for decades to come, it has to be the Diorissimo.
