Following the recent unveiling of the Dior Médaillon, Dior is now turning the spotlight to the craftsmanship behind the bag’s distinctive design. Defined by a sculptural shape created through a precise interplay of form and line, the Médaillon reflects the House’s commitment to elegance and artisanal savoir-faire.


Each Dior Médaillon is carefully cut and stitched by hand, underscoring the meticulous attention to detail invested in every piece. The bag is also hot-stamped with the Dior signature on the front, adding a refined finishing touch. One of its most distinctive features is the lobster clasp used to adjust the shoulder strap. Inspired by the rococo-style chairs that furnished Dior’s first boutique, the clasp offers a subtle nod to the House’s heritage.

Crafted in supple grained calfskin and Dior Oblique jacquard, the Dior Médaillon combines timeless materials with a modern sculptural aesthetic, reinforcing its place as a standout addition to the House’s accessories universe.
