A small flap case in fuchsia patent leather, made to hang from a chain or be held in the hand. Its high-gloss colour and convertible chain place it firmly among the accessories of the 2000s.
This Christian Dior piece from the 2000s is a wallet on chain in fuchsia patent leather. Its flap closes with a snap fastener, and a removable gold-tone chain lets it be carried on the chain or used as a clutch. It measures 19 x 10 cm.
Fuchsia patent leather, carried on a chain.
John Galliano was creative director of Christian Dior from 1996 to 2011. During these years the house issued its handbags in a wide range of colours and finishes; the Saddle bag, introduced for Spring/Summer 2000, appeared in canvas, leather and denim among others.
A small bag that doubles as a wallet can move from day to evening with little change. A detachable chain makes the same piece usable in two ways.
The patent surface gives the fuchsia colour a high gloss. The snap closure keeps the flap secure, and the interior combines leather and fabric. The date code and serial number 02-LU-0069 are present, and wear is very light.
The patent finish gives the colour its depth.
Bright pink accessories have returned to prominence in recent years. This piece offers that colour in an original Dior design from the 2000s.
Small Dior leather goods from the 2000s continue to attract interest among buyers of vintage designer accessories.
Patent leather can crease, scuff or discolour with age, so very lightly worn examples are assessed with care.
Strong pink tones have featured prominently in fashion in recent years.
