Christian Dior relaunches two of its iconic bags
The Christian Dior brand has some of the most iconic bag models, such as the Lady Dior or the Saddle Bag. This fall, the Maison wants to transform and renew itself through two bags that will become the must-have of the season.
The brand launches, first of all, the Dior Essential. A reinterpretation of the tote model available in small, medium or large sizes. The bag is designed through structured lines enhanced by the archicannage motif, made with textured leather combined with a subtle sheen. The padding is made with high-frequency memory foam and the model is topped with a leather handle and chain.

Louis Vuitton crosses gender lines in new creation
The luxury brand Louis Vuitton presents its new Coussin handbag model. Creative director Nicolas Ghesquière has been in charge of molding and designing this accessory, which crosses the lines between feminine and masculine, positioning itself in an area that blurs gender.
The Coussin, made of lambskin, evokes different feelings and sensations, from a comforting and comfortable bag to a striking and groundbreaking accessory. It contains multiple padded compartments and the option to unhook its geometric-shaped chain to carry the bag cross-body, on the shoulder or under the arm. It is available in metallic tones or in stronger and more striking colors, perfectly combining elegance and personality.
The Louis Vuitton Coussin bag is available in various shades and styles, all maintaining the essence of modernity and comfort.
Loewe advocates femininity in its revamped handbags
This season, Loewe reinvents its bags and accessories with new shapes and colors. In a conceptual approach, the brand highlights the finishes and craftsmanship of its creations.

The Puzzle bag, made with satin calfskin and solid hardware, are presented in pure solid colors, highlighting the finishes and shapes. They eliminate excess decoration to focus on the idea. We see it in shades such as green, plum, aquamarine, black, pecan, orange and diving blue. The Hammock and Bracelet bags also use a single color, which allows all the attention to be focused on the shape and silhouette of the accessories.
