When it comes to designer handbags, few brands have built a legacy as recognisable and enduring as Dior. For decades, the Parisian maison has produced pieces that transcend seasonal trends—designs with the kind of staying power that makes them feel just as relevant today as when they first appeared. The Lady Dior, for instance, instantly became a cultural touchstone after Princess Diana carried it in the mid-1990s, while John Galliano’s Saddle Bag defined the early 2000s and later sparked one of fashion’s most successful revivals. More recently, Maria Grazia Chiuri added new classics such as the Book Tote and D-Journey—bags that quickly became shorthand for a modern, versatile approach to luxury and worn by everyone—From Taylor Swift to Rihanna.
This ability to bridge heritage and modernity has always set Dior apart. Its handbags are as at home in museum exhibitions as they are in street-style galleries, with celebrities, royals and editors all turning to them as shorthand for timeless chic. They embody a rare balance: pieces steeped in history that somehow always feel of the moment.
Now, Dior is entering a new creative chapter with Jonathan Anderson stepping in to lead the maison across womenswear, menswear and couture. Known for his wit, narrative-led designs and craft-first approach, Anderson has already reimagined one of Dior’s most recognisable bags—the Book Tote—by embroidering it with literary covers like Dracula and Les Liaisons Dangereuses. His appointment signals not a departure from Dior’s codes but a development of them: proof that the house remains as forward-looking as it is rooted in legacy.
It’s this duality that makes Dior’s handbags especially exciting right now. Below, we’ve rounded up the 9 styles that define the brand, from the classics that collectors treasure to Wholesale Replica Bag designs shaping Dior’s future.
Shop 9 Best Dior Bags
1. Lady Dior
Created in 1994, the Lady Dior became a global icon after Princess Diana was frequently seen carrying it. With its sculptural silhouette, Cannage quilting and dangling letter charms, it embodies everything Dior stands for: elegance, refinement and quiet power.
2. Saddle bag
Galliano’s 1999 creation is one of the most distinctive handbags in fashion history. Its equestrian curve and bold hardware made it a Y2K essential, and after its 2018 revival under Chiuri, it re-emerged as a street-style and celebrity staple.
3. Dior Book Tote
Launched in 2018, the Book Tote redefined practicality in luxury, quickly becoming one of the most recognisable bags in the world. It works for travel, the office, and the front row, and with seasonal prints and embroidered iterations, it never feels static.
4. 30 Montaigne
A sleek, boxy shape named after Dior’s Paris HQ, this bag has quickly become a modern classic. With its bold CD clasp and clean lines, it’s proof that Dior knows how to do minimalism just as well as statement-making design.
5. Dior Bobby
Soft yet structured, the Bobby is a hobo bag that balances everyday functionality with heritage codes. It’s understated but polished, and increasingly seen as one of Dior’s most wearable designs.
6. Dior Caro
A more recent arrival that bridges the gap between timeless and contemporary. The Caro borrows Cannage quilting from the Lady Dior but introduces a chain strap and more versatile proportions—making it a crossbody favourite.
7. Dior Vanity Case
This compact, trunk-inspired design brings a playful twist to Dior’s accessories line-up. Often spotted in Dior Oblique canvas or leather, it transforms practical storage into a fashion statement.
8. D-Journey
One of the maison’s newest successes, the D-Journey has been seen on Rihanna, Anya Taylor-Joy and Taylor Swift since its 2024 debut. Its soft structure, clever compartments and day-to-night versatility all cement its position as a timeless classic.
9. Dior Voyage
The Dior Voyage Bag is one the house’s newest icons, unveiled for Cruise 2025. Cut in supple grained calfskin and embossed with Dior’s bold motif, the hobo-inspired silhouette feels both modern and timeless. Available in chic shades like black, latte, powder beige, and dark fango, the Voyage is designed to be a versatile companion—luxurious enough to turn heads, but relaxed enough to wear on repeat.
