I'm absolutely in love with Rihanna’s demure and sophisticated Christian Dior handbag. This design, part of Dior's Resort 2010 collection, is a style Dior will be pushing on the fashion world in a big way. I'm glad we saw its debut on someone like Rihanna. It just proves what a bag can do for an outfit and a person. The classic look of the fold-over flap and rich, exotic-skinned exterior are spruced up with silver and tortoise hardware accents. There are other less appealing versions of this bag which should come as no surprise to handbag lovers accustomed to seeing designers ruin a good thing fast. So skip the wonky animal print renditions and snatch up a simple leather or exotic version as soon as they arrive at the Dior boutiques. I can only imagine these will be quite expensive, but the design is divine and worthy of a hefty price tag. Timeless style is priceless.

　

Dior looks set to enter the new decade in something of a businesslike mode, and has also taken the 'oversized bag' trend further than any show I've seen yet - with shoulder bags in truly epic proportions. All Christian Dior bags in the collection have a very serious, very masculine feel about them, but this quality is particularly apparent in black. A softer neutral tone brings in more feminine trappings. I'm just fascinated by the size they've blown the accessories up to. Have bags reached their maximun proportions now? Or do you expect to be having to lug your handbag along in a cart next autumn?

　

While you are picking out one of your best outfits, you can’t forget to think about a gorgeous handbag to go with it. You need something fashionable, eye catching and possibly even head turning. There will be some people in attendance with outlandish handbags and then others who stick with the classics. I for one would go with a classic.

　

The Dior Demi Lune Small Flap Bag captures fashion perfectly. When it comes to fashion, you can count on Christian Dior for a timeless piece. This bag is no exception. It is impossible not to notice the supple black leather, twisted shoulder strap and gorgeous foldover. The pleated detail and silvertone hardware accents offer just the right amount of shine to the bag. One of the aspects I love the most is the size – it’s not too big, or small. In fact this is the kind of bag that would be a great for a crowded event because it’s not so bulky that it would get in the way. Buy Dior handbags through stylishpick and eurohandbag.
