How to nab a Dior raffia clutch bag that’s ‘perfect for summer’ for 90% cheaper using a little-known sun cream hack
DESIGNER Christian Dior handbags are nothing short of striking.
But with most of them costing quadruple digits, they’re not something you can pick up on your next haul.
That is, if you don’t know the little-known hack to nabbing a Dior clutch for over 90% cheaper than retail price.
Fashion influencer Felicity Noakes, who has a staggering 173,000 followers on Instagram, exposed the shopping loop hole in a recent reel.
The style maven revealed that if you buy select products from the French fashion house’s Solar skincare range, it comes in a woven, Dior-branded tote bag.
“Girl math is buying the Dior Beauty Solar skincare collection to get the raffia clutch bag for under £100,” she penned.
“This always sells out, but is such a good clutch bag for summer evenings.”
The clutch bag and products cost £85 to purchase together.
If you were to purchase the three products separately, you’d pay £125 and NOT receive the free clutch, so it’s a deal from all angles.
The products included in the deal are the Dior Solar The Sublimating Oil, which costs £50 to buy alone, and a bottle of Dior Solar The Protective Cream, a sunscreen that costs £35 to buy alone.
Beauty bosses at the designer also chucked in a bottle of Dior Solar The After-Sun Balm, which costs £40 to buy alone, so that all of your sun-skincare bases are covered.
The only catch is that you have to be a member of Dior’s rewards programme to buy the bundle.
That being said, it’s free to join.
A blurb on the £85 Solar Escape Essentials Gift Set reads: “Dior brings together three Dior Solar products in a limited-edition summer pouch.
“Woven with a rattan look for both the city and the beach, this Dior pouch includes the essentials of the skincare and sunscreen line of the House of Dior to protect, soothe and enhance the skin.
“Find your Dior Solar sun ritual in a summery raffia pouch: SPF 50 protective face cream, which is highly effective against UVA and UVB rays.
“After-sun balm to soothe and hydrate the skin after sun exposure, and skin-enhancing oil for beautifully shimmering, nourished skin.
“Skin is enveloped in a delicious floral fragrance reminiscent of monoi.
“Like the entire Dior Solar range, the products in the discovery set contain the Tan Beautifier Complex (Plectranthus barbatus root extract, inositol and vitamin E derivative), which enhances and evens out the tan.”
