Dior Samourai 1947

Christian Dior’s Autumn Winter 2008 Collection Show in Paris was attended by Lucy Liu, decked out in head to toe Dior. She wore stark white: a body conscious skirt suit and a fabulous white frame bag: the Dior Samourai 1947. This handbag comes in several incarnation, each one more intricate than the next. This one is rendered in white leather and suede, with a pleated design to add depth. The hardware is done in modern but classic tortoiseshell, a warm counter-balance for the coolness of the white. The design channels a vibe that is both prim and strong, reminiscent of Jackie O’s and Audrey Hepburn’s style –certainly fitting for Ms. Liu as well as her Cashmere Mafia character, Mia. To get the look, you’ll have to drop a pretty penny. About $3,600 worth, to be more exact. Call the Dior boutiques for more information.
