Christian Dior x John Galliano S/S 2008 Rare Beaded Leopard Bracelet

Animal print was a recurring obsession throughout John Galliano’s tenure at Christian Dior, running from the runway to the accessories collection and always with the house’s signature attention to craft. This piece from the Spring/Summer 2008 collection is entirely hand-worked in tiny gold and black glass seed beads, each one placed to build the leopard spot pattern across the cuff. Finished with silver-tone hardware: pavé crystal end caps, fine link chains spelling out the signature D, and an adjustable crystal charm clasp. An exquisite and rare Dior piece.
