Product Description:
An exceptionally rare archive piece from the iconic John Galliano era at Dior, this limited-edition shoulder bag is one of only 2000 pieces produced worldwide — a true collector’s item embodying the house’s most experimental and artistic period.
The front panel showcases intricate hand-applied beadwork and embroidery in a vibrant, almost tribal-inspired geometric composition. Layers of textures — from micro glass beads to satin-like fabric inserts — create depth, movement, and a rich tactile surface that shifts under light.
The sculptural half-moon metal plaque detail adds a futuristic contrast, while the pink leather handle paired with translucent resin beads enhances the playful yet couture-driven aesthetic typical of Galliano’s Dior.
The back features a clean denim-like textile, grounding the piece with a subtle casual contrast, making it both wearable and statement-driven.
Inside, the bag remains in excellent condition with a clean lining and intact structure, reflecting careful preservation over time.
This piece perfectly captures the essence of early 2000s Dior — bold, maximalist, and unapologetically expressive. Increasingly rare on the market, especially in this condition, it stands as both a fashion artifact and a wearable statement.
