The Dior Homme bag is a cut above the rest

The artisan’s eye and hand are essential in every step of the process: the choice of exceptional skins, the development of the pattern based on the original design from the studio under the direction of Kris Van Assche, the cutting out of the pieces while ensuring the beauty of the leather.

The assembly begins with the interior: the hand shapes, stitches, sews the different parts together. The leather is stamped delicately heat embossed with the Dior Homme signature.

Once assembled, the bag which has been constructed inside-out is carefully turned back the right way. The artisan then adjusts its edges to render it impeccable. The handles are constructed and finished by hand. First he marks out the holes to be pierced on the leather. Then he pierces them with an awl (a small pointed tool). Lastly a double row of stitching before several successive coats of colour are applied to the raw edges of the leather. The bag is finally ready, an icon and image of the new Dior Homme luxury.
