A few things come to mind when I think of the bags I like to carry for a night out. First, a top zip is really ideal for navigating overcrowded downtown hot spots where making your way through a sea of sweaty bodies is nearly impossible on any given Friday or Saturday night. Second, the bag must be roomy enough to hold my phone, cosmetics, wallet, and other miscellany but not too large that it’s cumbersome. And third, a design that hugs close to the body is ideal for keeping track of your belongings.
The Ideal Night Out Bag
Although I’d love to always wear a crossbody on nights out, I find that shoulder bags both look and feel chicer, and Dior’s latest bag feels just that, with a bonus; it’s also big enough to transition to a day bag.
I’m not quite sure where the name Dior Club came from, but instantly when I saw the bag, I thought to myself that it kind of is the perfect bag to take to the club. My mind flashed back to the days of Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton stumbling out of LA’s hottest clubs with Dior bags from the early aughts tucked under their arms. Admittedly, I haven’t been clubbing since before the pandemic, but honestly, this bag makes me want to reprise those youthful days.
The Details
New for Summer 2023, the Dior Club bag combines some of the House’s most important codes, embodying the refined modernity that today’s Dior is known for. Stylish and chic but also functional, the bag’s silhouette is soft in form. Featuring a removable and adjustable shoulder strap and a dainty chain strap that also acts as a design detail, the classic Dior oblique print is further enhanced by the iconic D.I.O.R. charms and gold hardware detailing on the sides of the bag.
While the Dior Club is also offered in cannage leather, I love the look of the logo print in this silhouette. The bag has an open interior with overall dimensions of 10.5″ W x 4.5″ H x 2″ D. Purchase via Dior for $2,900
