The gold-tone snap closure, engraved with the classic 'CD' initials, anchors a structured cream hexagonal monogram canvas front that quietly references the graphic codes of late-1970s Dior. Cream leather piping frames the edges, with the signature repeating Dior crest and letterforms lending a geometric order to the softly contoured silhouette.
An adjustable cream leather strap supports crossbody or shoulder carry—a configuration as suited to daily use as to archival display, and worn effortlessly by anyone. The flap lifts to reveal a grey fabric-lined interior with a single slip pocket, its understated utility complemented by the crisp exterior. Hardware throughout is gold-tone, with the closure providing the only overt branding.
This crossbody traces to the Marc Bohan era, c. late 1970s–early 1980s, a period when Dior’s accessories pivoted to bold monogram textiles and precise, practical forms—here visible in the hexagonal pattern and pared-back construction. The absence of an interior label or serial is typical of Dior’s small leather goods from this period, while the circular gold-tone 'CD' snap is a hallmark of the house’s visual language of the era.
Accompanied by its original box. Condition is very good, with minor wear at the edges and the canvas retaining strong colour and structure.
