Inside Blackpink’s Jisoo’s Dior handbag collection: her most covetable pieces, from the Princess Diana-inspired Lady Dior and her Hello Kitty-decorated Lady D-Joy, to the ‘It’ girl staple Saddle Bag
Adored by fans for her music, beauty and style, one of Jisoo’s most long-running and major partnerships to date include her being the global ambassador of Dior fashion and beauty. It’s a true match made in heaven as Jisoo has the looks and charm to pull off luxury pieces with streetwear, mix timeless with trendy and exude an innocent cuteness with swag – all remarkable traits valued by the new generation of fashion fans.
If you’re looking to replicate her style, or at least, cop a few of her favourites, here’s a list of the most iconic Dior bags she’s worn.
“The Jisoo Bag”
A Dior vintage, the Maris Pearl Trotter has been hailed as “the Jisoo bag” by her followers. It all started when she posted a ‘gram of her toting the mini bag in 2020, which she wore with a cotton candy-coloured jumper and a black skirt. The post gained at least four million likes – and sent dedicated Blackpink and fashion fans alike into a frenzy trying to score one for themselves.

As the design is no longer sold in stores, the only way to cop the 28-year-old Blackpink singer’s choice of vintage Dior is through resellers, where prices are between US$500 to US$1,250, per Koreaboo. Call it the Jisoo effect!
Lady Dior, Lady D-Lite and Lady D-Joy
A true classic and arguably the most iconic purse of the French fashion house, it’s no wonder Jisoo has it in multiple iterations and sizes, including one in the super chic and much coveted ultra-matt black edition.
Diana reportedly ordered more colours of the boxy bag, particularly a navy blue one to match her eyes. Unofficially, the bag was named “Chouchou”, which is French for “favourite” until it earned its rightful nickname, Lady Dior, having become the princess’ accessory of choice.

A spin on the popular Lady Dior, the Lady D-Lite was first seen on the spring/summer 2020 runways. It didn’t take long before Jisoo was spotted carrying hers, a beige version with a leopard pattern, with her name embroidered across it.
The Lady Dior has also seen its horizontal format in the Lady D-Joy, which is just as chic and versatile, and the idol is known for adding cute Hello Kitty charms to hers.
Dior Saddle Bag
In 2018, the Saddle made its comeback and, before long, it was being flaunted by models Bella Hadid and Elsa Hosk, actors Katie Holmes and Jessica Alba, and online influencers Aimee Song and Chriselle Lim, among many others, cementing its must-buy status.
To this day, with Y2K style still dominating trends off and on the runways, the Dior Saddle Bag remains an of-the-moment bag favoured by “It” girls. Jisoo herself has been spotted with the Saddle, which she’s dressed up to the nines with the Dior Bar jacket, and dressed down with a more casual ‘fit too.

Dior Caro
Jisoo also fronted Dior’s ad featuring the Caro handbag, a design made as a tribute to Christian Dior’s sister, Catherine, fondly called “Caro”.
Dior Vibe Hobo Bag and Bobby Bag
Classics aside, the Blackpink singer likes to unleash her inner swag in her offstage outfits featuring the Dior Vibe Hobo Bag, distinct for its iconic half-moon shape, and the Bobby Bag. She also reportedly added a personalised pink bunny charm (which sold out) on her monogrammed Bobby.
