If you're in the market for an occasional handbag for a special event, there is one storied design house whose name is virtually synonymous with high-octane glamour; that of the house of Dior. This season, Dior is offering some incredibly sleek and elegant occasional bags that will definitely stand the test of time. Here are two of our top picks from the new season collection, and some tips on how to style them.
1. The Long “Diorissimo” Zebra-Print Calfskin Envelope A simple and elegant envelope clutch design, the Diorissimo clutch in zebra-print calfskin leather is a perfect accent piece that is just as useful for an elegant evening out in a ball gown as it is in a pair of jeans and a white button-down shirt. To really bring the glam, pair it with an evening gown in a solid colour that really pops; fuchsia, yellow, or coral are excellent choices to light up your face and act as the perfect backdrop for this beautiful bag.
2. The “Miss Dior” Large Patent Leather Promenade Pouch This classic-looking quilted design black patent leather handbag is another incredibly versatile occasional bag that you can rock with a ball gown, cocktail dress, office-ready suit, or even a pair of distressed jeans and a plain tee. The secret? Keep whatever you pair with it classic; clean lines, sharp tailoring, and simple, flowing shapes to really channel that classic French chic that Dior does so well.
