Story

The Caro is named for Catherine Dior — 'Caro' to her brother — resistance fighter and the original Miss Dior. The bag takes the house's cannage quilting and finishes it with a CD twist clasp and a chain punctuated with CD links: the Lady Dior's codes, rebuilt as a softer shoulder bag.

Specifications

Authentication checklist

1. The CD clasp twists to open and is weighted like jewellery — light, loose clasps are the common tell
2. Cannage stitching is the original small-grid pattern, even across the flap with no distortion at the edges

Care notes

Wipe smooth leather with a soft dry cloth after use and condition only occasionally with a neutral leather balm — test any product inside first, and keep it away from perfume and hand sanitiser. Store the bag stuffed with acid-free paper, upright in its dust bag (not its box — leather needs airflow), away from direct sun and heat. Rest chains and hardware against a soft cloth so metal never presses into light leather for a season. Carry it in rotation rather than entombing it: leather that is aired, carried occasionally, and re-stuffed ages far better than leather stored untouched for years.
