It’s the star in the latest S/S12 ad campaign that also features beautiful French actress Marion Cotillard, so I guess you say the campaign’s theme was inspired by Beauty And The Beast. But I jest, even though technically the new Dior Lady Dior does have some beast on it. Exotic croc on the handles, to be exact, along with swaths of tweed that gives it a juxtaposition that’s both unique yet slight bizarre.

Still, I can see why there will be those who will be in love with it, given how one-of-a-kind it is and finding favour with collectors of the Lady Dior wanting to add something different to their collection. In a way, it’s like those who collect multiple Birkin bags in every permutation imaginable.

Measuring 24 cm by 20 cm, its also one of those pieces that’s also definite head-turner and you can check it out for yourself at Dior ION Orchard, Marina Bay Sands and Ngee Ann City.
