Uncover the fabled Dior savoir-faire behind the new 'Dior Caro' on.dior.com/dior-caro shoulder bag from the Cruise 2021 collection by Maria Grazia Chiuri and named after Monsieur Dior's beloved younger sister, Catherine. Starting from a detailed sketch in the design studio, the action moves to the House's specialized ateliers where the leather pieces are cut out and the geometric quilted Cannage effect is carefully created with some 18,000 stitches. Details such as hand-painted edges and gold-leaf stamping are followed by the '30 Montaigne' embossing before the body of the bag is finished and metal elements – including the characteristic 'CD' twist clasp and chain strap – are attached.
