Dior SS26 Runway: The Best Handbags
On October 1st, 2025, the fashion world witnessed a momentous event: Jonathan Anderson finally presented his first womenswear collection for Dior. And let me tell you something — the old Dior is back. From exquisitely tailored silhouettes and architectural draping to subtle references to the Galliano era, Dior’s Spring/Summer 2026 collection promises to be one of the most daring and emotionally charged collections the brand has released in years. I mean, just look at those bags! Expertly blending Anderson’s avant-garde creativity with Dior’s timeless style codes, Dior’s SS26 bags celebrate the brand’s past while eagerly looking towards its future with Jonathan Anderson at the helm. My personal top picks from the collection below.
Dior Cigale Bag
Without a doubt, the standout design of Dior’s Spring/Summer 2026 show is the Cigale Bag. Named after Jonathan Anderson’s all-time favorite dress by Christian Dior (as the designer himself revealed), the Cigale is a beautifully structured top-handle bag adorned with a charming bow detail at the front — a perfect nod to Dior’s heritage of femininity and precision. The bag also made its debut on the runway in a variety of colors and materials, including luxurious exotic skins.
Dior Suede Shopper
Is it just me, or the new Dior Suede Shopper is serving major Galliano-era vibes with its “Dior” hardware on the strap? Furthermore, its slouchy, effortlessly chic silhouette feels like a modern reinterpretation of early-2000s glamour — luxurious yet nonchalant.
Dior Soft Lady Dior
Dior’s Spring/Summer 2026 collection also features a new take on the House’s classic Lady Dior — this time, reimagined as a softened, suede Boston bag. Trading the Lady Dior’s structured formality for a more relaxed, tactile elegance, the bag arrives in supple suede with a lightly padded body and a zip closure, which will keep your essentials secure.
Dior Ruched Cannage Tote
Very quirky, yet unmistakably Dior, the Ruched Cannage Tote is a playful reinterpretation of one of the house’s most iconic motifs. Spotted on the SS26 runway in a spectrum of shades — from timeless black to soft pastel yellow — the bag features a relaxed carryall silhouette with a sleek top-zip closure, finished with a gleaming chain shoulder strap. And I don’t know about you, but I am very excited to see this one in person when the collection launches in Spring 2026.
