Christian Dior Le Trente Shopping Bag | Medium Soft Feminine Leather Handbag

Posted on: Nov 25

There's something so frothy and fun about the Le Trente shopping bag from Christian Dior. But don't accuse this purse of being frivolous!

Those girly looks come from the buttery soft leather, which gathers in pleats around the drawstring and bubbles over with the foldover cuff. The effect gives this purse the kind of flirty charm we don't often see in shoppers.

But don't think that Christian Dior has forgotten about functionality. The generous size makes the Le Trente perfect for a big day hitting the Christmas sales. I could probably use more than the single zippered pocket, but at least there's the space for stashing our smaller purchases. The leather strip makes those double chain handles look much more inviting, although a few inches would probably have helped make them more manageable. And the protective metal feet might even save that lovely white leather from aging too quickly.

Like most Christian Dior purses though, the price is likely to be the real sticking point. At $1950, you might have to choose this or the family Christmas presents!
