This Dior bag is the polished one. Cannage quilting runs in tight, even padded diamonds, bright polished hardware sits flush on the flap, and the fabric is finished so neatly that the bag looks pressed rather than padded, ready for occasions where details get noticed.
At 20 x 8 x 17 cm it is compact but properly usable: a phone, a long wallet, keys, lipstick and a compact all stand upright in the lined interior, with the 8 cm depth keeping the front panel smooth instead of straining.
The short top handle is the way to wear it, held at the side with a tailored coat or a dress. The detachable adjustable strap is there for the journey, then comes off again when you arrive.
