1. Dior x ERL

One of the most recent Dior collaborations is with ERL, a Venice Beach-based clothing brand. Kim Jones, the designer for the Dior menswear collections, worked with the designer and founder of ERL, Eli Russell Linnetz to create a stunning range of men’s clothing, bags, and accessories – and many of these pieces, if you just sized down, would perfectly fit women too.
ERL has brought the brand’s Californian background to the classic luxury fashion house to create a collection of super stylish pieces, all with a chilled, summery vibe.
The Dior x ERL Saddle bag, with a plush quilted finish, is particularly gorgeous, but we really love the quilting and bright pink color of this incredible Down Jacket.
2. Dior x Cactus Jack

The Dior x Cactus Jack collaboration brings together Dior’s Kim Jones and rapper Travis Scott to create a gorgeous menswear collection, that includes clothing, shoes, and bags.
This is the most recent Dior collaboration, released in the summer 2022 collection after the collab was postponed in the wake of the Astroworld tragedy.
We love the new tees and jackets decorated with Travis Scott’s hand-drawn logo, as well as the Dior Cactus Jack logo that decorates the iconic Dior Saddle bag, as pictured above.
3. Dior x Birkenstock

Dior’s collaboration with the beloved footwear brand, Birkenstock, has already proved wildly popular, after the collection was first seen in January 2022.
The practicality of the Birkenstock design, with their famous cork soles, has been combined with the luxurious nature of Dior to create stunningly sumptuous Tokio Mules and Milano Sandals.
The versatile Milano Sandals have been crafted from black nubuck calfskin and decorated with aluminum industrial buckles to create a must-have shoe.
4. Dior x Rimowa

The Dior x Rimowa collaboration may be a slightly more unexpected collab that has brought together the engineering of Rimowa bags and luggage, with the sleek and sophisticated design of Dior collections.
Luggage and suitcases were the first pieces launched from this collection, then soon after the collection was expanded with the addition of Dior x Rimowa clutches. The personal pouch, as pictured above, is made from aluminum with a calfskin trim, decorated with both the Dior and Rimowa logos.
This personal pouch is available in grey, pink, and blue so you can pick the shade that best suits your style.

The new handwritten Dior logo sits on the front of this white calfskin Double Zip Crossbody Pouch for a striking look.

KAWS, also known as street artist Brian Donnelly, revamped his famous bee motif to decorate sportswear pieces, including t-shirts, sweatshirts, and bags – such as the beloved Dior Saddle bag.

The Dior men’s winter 19/20 collection involved a collaboration with artist Raymond Pettibon, creating some truly striking designs.
Pettibon was an important artist in the 1970s, with punk highly influencing his work, his painted designs decorate many men’s clothes and accessories for a bold, eye-catching look. Pettibon is known for his use of print, such as his famous white leopard motif which is seen on many bags and shoes.
We love the black and white print on this leather wallet that brings together the excellent craftsmanship of Dior and the incredible design skills of Raymond Pettibon.
