Bag Review - Dior Bubble Bag



Ah, a new bag from Dior. What better way to start the year, don't you think? Their Cruise 2016 collection has some pretty awesome stuff but I have been eyeing this bucket bag from the second I got a preview of the collection.

The bubble bag boasts a gorgeous curvaceous shape in buttery soft calfskin. Featuring a chunky, albeit blingy gold chain strap, the purse is part fun, part flashy and totally fabulous. Dior icons are reinterpreted in street-art form and embossed on to the leather making the bag very fresh, very now. Moreover, because of it's playful design, I feel it can easily transition from day to night.

Since it's a bucket bag, it slouches when you put it down. Also, the chain strap is heavy, so to prevent it from toppling over, I suggest fill the bag up a little bit so it can hold itself up. Space wise, there's enough room to put a lot of your essentials. Ipad, wallet, sunglasses, a small make up pouch, etc. Three internal pockets (one with a zipper) make it easy to organise stuff you might need immediately like a cell phone or keys. It comes with a drawstring closure that has a small, cylindrical CD embossed hardware and the DIOR charms that can be taken off if you want. Protective metal feet prevent the bag from getting dirty.

Despite there being plenty of bucket bags out there, there's something about this one that makes it stand out amongst the rest. Maybe it's the colourful badges, or maybe it's the chain strap or maybe it's the whole package! Check it out for yourself at the nearest Dior boutique. P.S, it comes in two sizes so you can choose according to your need for space.
