It’s not often that an icon is born, but you know one when you seen one, as the saying goes. This can be applied to the latest ‘It’ bag from the House of Dior – the Dior Caro bag with its unmistakable cannage design, impeccable savoir faire, and minimalist lines.
The larger Dior CaroFirst unveiled at the 2021 cruise show, the Dior Caro bag has been freshly reinvented by Maria Grazia Chiuri and placed at the heart of the House’s 2021 Spring-Summer ready-to-wear line.
Sketching the design of the Dior Caro Stitching the Dior Caro bagClad in supple leather punctuated by the emblematic cannage motif and adorned with a precious chain whose links evoke the “CD” signature – echoing the bag’s delicate clasp – this object of desire is available in two sizes and three timeless shades: black, grey and beige.

These new essentials also lend themselves to the game of mix-and-match thanks to interchangeable shoulder straps for a daring look. It’s the ultimate, refined expression of Dior style.

People today don’t fit into boxes and categories. In our individual ways, we are interested in diverse themes, products, and the challenges that face our world today. You will judge how well this effort of mine caters to your passions and proclivities.
Lifestyle Insider is a showcase of all that is beautiful and luxe. Behind every creation, is a designer, chef, entrepreneur, or a design maison. I have delved into my own appreciation for objetsde luxe that I have admired over the years – be it a love of fashion from the world’s top Parisian and Italian fashion maisons and their ’90s muses, or the care that goes into sari and Indian textile collections in my own family. Growing up on four continents, as the daughter of a former Indian Ambassador, I’ve seen a remarkable array of historic places and met a myriad people. My aim is to bring my world view into this website, a curation of what I find particularly stunning, unique, and newsworthy.
It’s an exciting time for brands all over the world. With change comes opportunity. With the global ‘reset’ and uncertainty on many fronts, there is a chance to write a new script. Let’s be those pioneers.
