Christian Dior is a historic French fashion house, known for exquisite men’s and women’s ready-to-wear collections and beautiful accessories and leather goods. Dior has become one of the top luxury brands, alongside other French brands such as Chanel and Saint Laurent since its founding in 1946.
Over the years, many incredible designers have held the position of creative director at the house of Dior, including Yves Saint Laurent, John Galliano, Raf Simons, Hedi Slimane, and currently Maria Grazia Chiuri for the women’s collection and Kim Jones for menswear. All these designers have ensured Dior continues to create beautiful collections that are highly desired.
However, there have been recent price increases at Dior that have affected many of their accessories, especially the bags. So, this article is going to let you know all the important information about these price hikes so all you handbag lovers know exactly which bag to buy next!
Dior Price increase 2022
There are several best-selling classic bags that have undergone a price increase in the last year, but there are so many different styles that have remained at the same price.
It is likely that the most popular bags have increased in price while the less popular bags have stayed at the same price point because there are fewer people buying these handbags. So, it should come as no surprise that the popular Lady Dior bags have seen the most dramatic price hike.

Why Has There Been a price increase?
Just like Louis Vuitton bags and Chanel bags, there are many reasons why Dior bags have increased in price. Firstly, luxury brands often undertake price adjustments to keep in line with global inflation so there is always going to be a price increase coming in the future.
There have also been increases in the cost of raw materials, production costs, and transportation costs that have meant that these iconic bags have increased in price more than usual.
The Dior price hike was actually pretty limited, the Chanel price increase affected almost all of their bags, with the classic Chanel flap bag and the Chanel boy bag seeing increases of around 13%. These price increases have also affected the resale price of Dior bags – since the bags when they are new are more expensive, the resale price tag is now more expensive too.
So buying a Dior bag now is a good investment as the prices are only going to go up even further!
