Dior Be Dior

dior_be-dior-collection2 There’s no denying how stunningly gorgeous Dior’s Be Dior is, which at first glance looks like a reinterpreted Lady Dior. It has the same boxy shape, that iconic rolled leather top handle and even the dangling D-I-O-R charms, but that’s really about it as far as this ingénue is concerned.

Clearly youthful with a generous dose of exuberance, the Be Dior comes with a shoulder sling and features a front flap that opens to two different compartments, the first a flap patch pocket (yes, it has a flap under a flap) good for card cases, love notes and the like, the second the main compartment where most everything you’re carrying for the day should fit. A point to note? The Mini Be Dior has one additional patch pocket in the main compartment, the Be Dior has two.

Available in 3 distinct sizes, there is the darling Mini Be Dior that comes in at 20 cm by 16.5 cm, as well as the Be Dior that spans 21 cm across by 19.5 cm in height (known as the Small). Then there is the Medium that measures 31 cm by 22.5 cm, all of which will come in a luscious array of supple leathers and exotic skins, from smooth calfskin to the grained bullcalf leather. And then there’s luxurious python and extravagant crocodile for those who wish to indulge.

A bag that can be worn 5 different ways, my personal favourite of the moment has got to be the one that comes in three-tone leather, the body in black, the handle in Jean Blue with Vermilion on the back of the bag on a patch pocket (yes, there’s another at the back) and on its dangling charms just for that bit of contrast.

Now available in Dior boutiques, you just need to find the one in the colour/size/leather that you fancy the most and make her your own.

    Can you fit the iPhone6Plus into the mini Be Dior?

    hey BB, do you happen to know how much each size will retail at?

  • CA says:

    Does it not come in three sizes? I remember walking into a Dior boutique some weeks ago and being introduced to the Mini, a Medium, and a Large Be Dior. Anyway, I do agree that it’s a gorgeous bag and the craftsmanship by Dior is always immaculate.

    What do you think of the Mini as a cross-body bag on a male?

    • Bagaholicboy says:

      Yes you are right, the Mini, the Small and the Medium (see above for the exact measurements).

      As for the question regarding using the Mini as a cross-body, it all boils down the proportion. If it looks good on you (and not too ridiculously small, or big), then just go for it.
