Dior Soft Lady Dior Avenue Woven Hobo

Umm… So… This bag is a part of a new S/S seasonal Dior collection called Avenue. There are a few pieces available as a part of this collection, and this is one of them. I’ve heard people comment on this collection, saying that it didn’t end up among the hotter Dior collections because the bags resemble Bottega’s designs and because the designs are not “fresh”. Personaly, I like the whole collection despite the fact that there is something Bottega about them. The bags presented in the ad campaign were what really got me going and then I’ve seen the woven hobos which I loved even more. Thanks to the renowned designer house behind these bags, you don’t have to worry about these being a case of copy-paste design. The design does remind me of BV but still… I don’t think I would ever mistake one of these for one of their designs… If you look closer, the top of the bag and the handle have nothing that would make you think it’s a BV. Anyway, enough blabbing, let’s get back to the bag that made me write this post in the first place…

It’s made of smooth weaved lambskin which gives the bag that soft and slouchy look we can never get enough of - in the end, we are all just girls and girls need soft and slouchy bags I think it looks perfect for the upcoming summer and that it’ll last for many summer seasons to come. On the other hand, if you’re into this kind of bags, I guess you’ll probably be more open to spending a bit more money and going for a Bottega. Anyway…

Rolled handle of a 10.5″ drop is attached to the bags body with polished gold clasp attachments, which are also used to carry dangling Dior logo detail. Zip top closure reveales suede lining interior featured with zipped and a patch pocket. Yummy.
