Did someone say, or rather scream, DIOR? Maria Grazia Chiuri hasn’t been shy in using logo elements the last few seasons, and her Pre-Fall 2019 bags were no different. Dior’s iconic logo print fabric was used throughout the collection, as was the use of big and bold CD hardware. The collection as a whole is unmistakably ‘Dior.’ The Saddle Bag once again makes an appearance, accompanied by embellished guitar straps, they were shown in both solid leathers and what appears to be exotic skins. A pretty printed version of the Dior Book Tote appeared as well.
Some new shapes were debuted amongst old fan-favorites, most notably a structured flap bag with a CD gold logo closure and what appears to be a convertible strap. The second, a mid-sized top handle bag that also looks to be fairly structured has a push-lock closure and is void of any clear details that scream ‘Dior.’ Rather, this larger new shape is shown with two gold initial letters, hinting at Dior releasing a personalization option. They are also seen throughout the collection on a few of the other bags if you take a close look. View all of the bags below.

Not a big fan of all the logos and exotic leather, but the smooth leather flap bag is pretty. Don’t mind the CD logo, it’s an elegant detail I think.
I love 1, 10, and 20.
I like bag 17, and that’s about it. The others are not speaking to me at all. The booktotes are not functional because the shoulder straps are too short. The Saddle bag is an odd shape and doesn’t fit much.
Digging the rock n roll vibe of #17 and its slouchy look
Very vintage Dior. I love that MGC is going back to Dior’s roots, everything is so consistent with their brand heritage… unlike some other brands out there these days *cough cough*
It took some time for me to appreciate MGC’s vision. So far Dior seems very real life and modern brand.
I really like all of these!!
Are they bringing back the miss Dior? It literally looks like the addict bag. And what’s up with the EN? Does that mean the bag can be customized with your initials?
Yes, you can customise with initials. There’s a skinny belt too.
The first bag really gives my vibe of Celine’s Box. And when I see the all leather, it feels so vintage it’s not really a new bag at all. I don’t know whether to like or dislike this collection.
What draw my eyes to the most are actually the clothes. The fabric looks so soft I feel like I can touch them. Maybe it’s time to invest in some designer clothes? ?
