Dior 2019 Fall/Winter Show
· Design inspiration & naming ·
In 1947, Christian Dior opened his first boutique at 30 Avenue Montaigne in Paris and released his first couture collection, creating the classic "New Look" style in the fashion industry. Today, this is not only the address of Dior's headquarters, but also the location of the couture workshop.

The 30 Montaigne logo hidden in the wavy pattern on the back of the bag is the most straightforward interpretation of the brand’s origin.
· CD letter lock ·
The golden CD letter lock is the most eye-catching decoration, inspired by the seal mark on the Dior perfume bottle.

The lock uses the classic serif font CD . The rotating buckle uses the letter C as the axis and rotates counterclockwise to open the buckle. The whole process is smooth and can be completed with one hand.
· Production process ·
Craftsmen at the Dior leather workshop in Florence, Italy , handcraft every detail , cutting the lambskin according to the mold and sewing it piece by piece, carefully binding the CD lock on the front, and hand-engraving the embossed 30 Montaigne logo on the back. The production process is exquisite and sophisticated.

· Wavy lambskin·
Wavy crinkled lambskin is a new attempt by Dior in bag design. The soft leather texture reduces the sharpness of the bag and brings a romantic atmosphere to the originally simple and modern bag shape .
The lambskin is soft and breathable , and the wavy wrinkled texture gives the bag a low-key luster under the light, making even slight scratches invisible.
The full flap structure has simple and neat lines, and the edge piping makes the bag stiff and stylish. The 30 Montaigne embossed pattern on the back is half-hidden in the wavy pattern, which is restrained and very textured.
· How do I carry this bag? ·
The shoulder strap of the bag is a chain + belt splicing design. It passes through the two golden hoops on the top of the bag and can be folded into a double chain. It can be carried on one shoulder, crossbody or by hand, allowing for a variety of ways to carry it.
The belt part can reduce the pressure of the metal chain on the shoulder, and the length can be adjusted by the buckle.
What can this bag hold?
The lining of the bag is also black lambskin , with a zippered inner pocket on the back and an outer flat pocket for storing mobile phones and other items. The single-layer large compartment design is spacious and practical, and a relatively thick wallet can be stored in it without any pressure. We put an iPhone X, a short wallet, a box of air cushion powder, a notebook, perfume and lip gloss in the bag, and there was still room to spare.
