PHOTO COURTESY OF DIOR
Under the creative direction of Jonathan Anderson, Dior continues to look inwards, refining the codes that define it. This renewed focus on heritage sees signature crests and emblems reworked with a contemporary touch. In particular, the new Médaillon Flap Bag emerges as a clear expression of that intent.

Central to this narrative is, of course, the Médaillon motif. It draws inspiration from the Louis XVI-style chair, with its oval back and delicate bow, that furnished the original Dior boutique. Elegant and unmistakably Parisian, the emblem has travelled across the Dior universe since 1947. Now it anchors this latest design with clarity and purpose.
Sculptural yet practical, the Médaillon Flap Bag stands out as a versatile daily essential. Clean, rounded edges define its silhouette, while the rococo-inspired clasp with Dior logo sits front and centre. It secures the flap with ease, and an adjustable strap with a textured buckle allows for either shoulder or crossbody wear.
In terms of options, the bag is offered in two sizes. Despite measuring 21 cm by 12 cm by 5.5 cm, the small comfortably fits a phone, cardholder, keys and lipstick. It comes in blue Dior Oblique jacquard (SGD4800) with a sliding chain strap in matching gold-tone hardware, or grained calfskin (SGD5200) with a tonal leather strap in either Trench or Rose Tendre.
If you prefer more room, the medium Médaillon Flap Bag comes in at 23 cm by 16 cm by 6.5 cm. Besides daily essentials, it holds an extra wallet without feeling oversized. Available in blue Dior Oblique jacquard (SGD5300) or black grained calfskin (SGD5700), both versions pair with a leather strap, reinforcing what feels like yet another icon in the making.
