The Luxe List: August

Dior returns to Harrods this summer with a new pop-up dedicated to the Dior Lucky collection – a playful, personalise-able line inspired by Monsieur Dior’s beloved lucky charms. Set within a space filled with oversized card houses and celestial symbols, the boutique offers customisation workshops where you can adorn bags, shoes and accessories with stars, bees, clovers and more. Highlights include fresh takes on the Lady Dior, now reimagined with floral embroidery and new motifs, alongside limited-edition pieces like the Dior Groove and Toujours Vertical. Complete with interactive moments – from an AR sunglasses mirror to live tarot readings – the experience runs until 27th August.
