PARIS, Mar 1, 2006/ FW/ --- Wednesday, ‘hump day’ or middle of the week of the Paris season also marks the release of the latest men’s accessory from Hedi Slimane, the Dior Homme Monogram Messenger bag.

Inspired by the military courier’s bag, Hedi Slimane put his magic touch to make it contemporary and a must-have accessory for both men and women.

Huh? Men and women? Yes, it can also be used by women; case in point, Nicole Kidman used a ‘reporter bag,’ another permutation of the military courier bag in the hit movie, ‘The Interpreter.’

So, the Dior Homme Monogram Messenger bag truly just came in time for the press corps that is covering the Paris Prêt-a-porter season. Lots of room for press notes, invitations and everything in between.

Designed with a closing flap with two buckles and two front pockets under the flap, an inside zip pocket plus a mobile phone pocket, it’s a go-anywhere, travel everywhere bag!

And with its adjustable cotton polyster strap, it does not matter whether you are 6 ft tall (180 cm) or a petite girl, it will always be just the right size for you.

Available in two sizes: the smaller one measures 28 cm height x 28 cm width x 7 cm deep while the bigger bag measures 35 cm height x 28 cm width x 11 cm deep, you can choose which one is the right fit for you.

There are also two styles to choose from: the DIOR HOMME CLASSIC made of coated logo Dior Homme canvas and the DIOR HOMME CANVAS that is made of Dior Homme jacquard logo canvas.

Both styles are equipped with an engraved ‘CD’ or ‘Dior Homme’ logo in brass with a shiny palladium finish.

While here in Paris, grad a Dior Homme Messenger bag from Christian Dior boutiques. It is also available at Galeries Lafayette and Le Bon Marche.

In the U.S., the bags are available at the New York and Los Angeles Christian Dior boutiques locations.
