Brand: Christian Dior Type: Cosmetic Pouch / Clutch Material: Leather Exterior Colour: White Hardware: Black zipper with star charm Dimensions: 10.5" W x 7" H x 2" D (approx.) Interior: Black fabric lining with CD logo pattern Closure: Top zipper Inclusions: Star charm with CD logo The House of Dior has long understood the appeal of functional elegance, nowhere more evident than in this white leather cosmetic pouch. Crafted in smooth white leather with a distinctive quilted texture along the front, the piece closes via a black zipper trimmed with a striking star-shaped charm bearing the signature CD monogram in red enamel. The interior is lined in black fabric printed with the Dior logo, a detail that speaks to the maison's attention to craft even in accessories designed for everyday utility. Originally offered as a promotional piece, this pouch carries the refinement and architectural design language that have defined Christian Dior since the atelier's founding in 1946. Notes from the Curator This white leather cosmetic pouch represents a tradition Christian Dior himself inaugurated when he opened his first boutique, Colifichets—French for "ornaments"—within 30 Avenue Montaigne in 1947, the same year that the New Look stunned Paris. That boutique housed gifts and objects for the home, and ever since the maison has understood that luxury begins with gesture and scale: the pouch you open each morning can carry the same formal language as the handbag on the runway. Here, raised letters spell DIOR across quilted white leather, a dimensional technique the house has deployed for decades to transform simple silhouettes into tactile signatures. VIP gifts and gifts with purchase from luxury brands are special promotional pieces, created specifically for promotional purposes and manufactured under the brands' authorization, rewarding valued clients with objects that share the couture house's codes in miniature—the star charm bearing the CD monogram in red enamel, the black lining stamped with the repeating logo, the clean black zipper that echoes the hardware finish across Dior's permanent collection.
