The Ultimate Guide to Dior Bags, by Alexandra Fullerton, is a must-have for fashion lovers. This illustrated book, part of teNeues' new Brand Bible series, highlights the iconic handbags of the Parisian house Dior, combining history, craftsmanship, and contemporary culture in a volume as informative as it is inspiring.
Founded in 1946, the Maison Dior is synonymous with haute couture and artisanal excellence. Its most emblematic handbags reflect that heritage, starting with the legendary Lady Dior, originally created under the name Chouchou and renamed in honor of Diana, Princess of Wales. Alongside it, other models that have made history stand out, such as the daring Dior Saddle Bag, designed by John Galliano in 1999 and becoming a street style phenomenon in the 2000s, driven by figures like Kim Kardashian and Beyoncé.
The book also dedicates significant space to more recent creations that are already contemporary classics, such as the Book Tote, a favorite of style icons and influencers, or the elegant Diorama Bag, designed in 2015 by Raf Simons. Presented in multiple versions, materials, and finishes, these models have consolidated Dior as an absolute reference in the world of luxury handbags.
With abundant photography and detailed explanations, Alexandra Fullerton guides the reader through the brand's savoir-faire, history, and aesthetic evolution, making this volume an essential coffee table book for collectors, fashion enthusiasts, and design lovers with a story.
