Tote in a host of exquisite embroideries and, now, Maria Grazia Chiuri has a new leather offering for Autumn/Winter 22. The utilitarian Dior Essential’s metal chain handles in pale gold finish add polish to the graphic zing of the Archicannage motif, a fresh take on the maison’s iconic Cannage topstitching.
