Diorissimo Bag

The name Diorissimo covers two distinct eras of the maison. Originally, it refers to the 1970s Diorissimo monogram — a beige-coated canvas printed with the diagonal CD logo, used on totes, Boston bags and vintage clutches. Then, in 2012, Raf Simons revived the name for a trapeze-shaped tote with D-I-O-R charms, magnetic flap and detachable shoulder strap — sometimes searched as the "Lady Diorissimo". On JoliCloset, 62 pre-owned Diorissimo bags cover both worlds — from the 1970s-2000s monogram tote to the Raf Simons trapeze in smooth or cannage calfskin.

The two Diorissimo silhouettes

The vintage Diorissimo tote in monogram canvas (13 listings in stock) is among the most coveted pieces for collectors: structured shape, leather handles, central zip closure, with leather trim that develops a deep patina. The round Boston version and the Diorissimo clutch (3 pieces) carry the same print. The Diorissimo trapeze by Raf Simons (2012-2017) — Mini, Small, Medium, Large — adopts a structured silhouette wider at the base, with four D-I-O-R charms hanging from the handle and a CD clasp. Our Diorissimo handbag selection counts 39 listings, mostly Simons-era pieces in cannage lambskin and smooth calfskin.

Canvases and leathers

The original Diorissimo monogram, on light-beige coated canvas, defines the oldest vintage pieces — usually lined in natural leather and trimmed with bare leather handles that patina beautifully with use. The Simons trapeze comes in cannage lambskin (the Lady Dior signature), smooth calfskin, and more rarely patent or velvet. A handful of seasonal editions were produced in exotic skins. Black remains the most-requested colour on the trapeze; tan-monogram dominates the vintage pieces.

Pre-owned price, rarity and value

On JoliCloset, pre-owned Diorissimo bags start near €250 for a well-kept monogram clutch and reach €4,500 for a rare cannage-lambskin Simons trapeze or a pristine vintage tote. The average pre-owned price sits around €1,000-€1,400. With Dior having discontinued the model in 2017, supply is shrinking and clean pieces are appreciating. Original 1970s-2000s editions — monogram canvas, natural-leather interior, gold hardware — have moved firmly into collector territory.

Authentication: recognising a Diorissimo

Our team checks the monogram print (CD logos must be sharp, never blurred, and the pattern must align cleanly along seams), the grain and tanning of the handle leather, the "Christian Dior / Made in France" or "Made in Italy" stamp depending on the era, the weight of the D-I-O-R charms on the Simons trapeze, and the interior lining (Toile de Jouy or honey-tone canvas for vintage, diagonal CD satin for the trapeze). To sell your Diorissimo, our Dior consignment service appraises the piece free of charge and publishes the listing in all six languages.
