Dior Adds New Blossom Tote, Backpacks To Pre-Fall 2016 Bag Lineup And We Have All The Pics
At the moment, Dior is in a holding pattern. Spring 2016 was Raf Simons’s last season as the brand’s creative director and parent company LVMH has yet to name his replacement; there was a similar gap between Simons’s appointment and the ouster of predecessor John Galliano. Dior has a history and heritage like few others in the luxury market, and that means the house design team can sustain it for a bit while the brand’s executives make sure they make the right hire–no one’s going to forget about Dior just because the brand was relatively quiet for six months or a year.
Luckily, Simons’s time with the brand gave the house team a huge, strong foundation upon which to work in his absence. Pre-Fall 2016 includes beautiful new iterations of the popular Lady Dior and Diorama Bags, as well as new Diorever Totes, which was Simons’s last big bag debut. The lineup also includes multiple versions of two new additions, the simple, pretty Blossom Tote and the more complicated Stardust Backpack, both of which come in two different sizes. Neither is a revelation, but they both attractive options that help flesh out the line and give shoppers something new to consider.
