Here’s Why We’re Obsessed With The Dior Medallion Collection

Dior reintroduces the iconic and storied Medallion motif with a tapestry of designs, putting a fresh spin on their traditions.

Since gracing Dior in 1947, the iconic Medallion—with its delicate bow and Louis XVI provenance—has long been the French House’s most enduring emblem. Now entering a new era with Jonathan Anderson, the symbol has been reintroduced and reimagined, and it was met with much enthusiasm from the fashion crowd. Especially when it’s in the form of a bag—a simple piece imbued with a touch of romanticism and modernity. 

All you need to know about the Dior Medallion: 

Unveiled on the Fall 2026 runway show, the Médaillon Flapbag is the latest accessory dreamed up by Jonathan Anderson, defined by its supple, fluid lines, rounded edges, and a soft, romantic silhouette. Decorated with a clasp with the Medallion signature motif, it is a fitting essential for any season.

Be it small or medium, or in several colours, the Médaillon Flapbag will soon be spotted in the hands of today’s biggest trendsetters. But, for those who prefer a relaxed fit, the Medallion is also featured as a structural element on a modern bucket bag, which can spruce up any look. 

As the symbol of the Dior fashion house, we’re confident this motif will continue to evolve, weaving together designs and artistic influences in the future.
