Dior’s latest accessories drop borrows directly from Jonathan Anderson’s sophomore womenswear show for the house. Back in March, Dior staged the fall-winter 2026 presentation in the Jardin des Tuileries. Building a greenhouse-like structure around the Bassin Octogonal, Monet’s Water Lilies also served as a clear reference point. The inspiration now extends to the Dior Jardin Dahlia collection.
The star of the collection is the My Dior mini bag in green lambskin, embroidered with the Dior Water Lily motif. Just like the scattering of water lilies that guests walked amidst during the show, these delicate flowers sit mid-bloom. Each petal adds dimension to the iconic Cannage grid, imparting a tactile, almost sculptural texture, rather than a flat print.
A slim top handle sits above the flap, while a long paperclip-link chain in pale gold offers a crossbody option. Right in the centre, the D-I-O-R charms anchor the closure in a cluster that jingle just enough to announce themselves. Retailing at SGD6400, the My Dior mini bag in the Dior Jardin Dahlia collection arrives in a single colour for now.

Three smaller pieces round out the line: a compact wallet (SGD1450), cardholder (SGD1250) and passport holder (SGD1150).

Consider them companions to the bag in matching green Cannage leather. Due to the elaborate water lily embroidery, prices sit slightly higher than classic leather or #DiorOblique jacquard equivalents.
The Dior Water Lily motif stretches well beyond Dior’s leather goods this season, however. On the runway, for example, heels decked in dimensional lilies perched on lily-pad-shaped platforms. A frog-shaped minaudière also showed up as a playful wink to the pond theme. Dresses featured pale pink water lily embroidery, while other ready-to-wear had chic water lily brooches pinned on.
For anyone who loves their accessories with a bit of extra personality, the Dior Jardin Dahlia collection delivers in full. Anderson’s fall-winter 2026 outing proves he can weave whimsy into Dior’s house codes without losing an ounce of polish.
