The Lady Dior bag is highly recognised in fashion history, synonymous with luxury, elegance, and sophistication. It is famously associated with Princess Diana of Wales, who was a fashion icon during the 1990s. Consequently, her legacy lives on through this iconic piece.
The History of Lady Dior
This iconic bag was first introduced in 1994. Initially called the 'Chouchou', it was later renamed as a tribute to the fashion icon who was often seen carrying it. Princess Diana was the first to wear the bag during a visit to a Cezanne art exhibition in Paris in 1995. Shortly, she fell in love with it and was frequently pictured carrying it on various occasions.
The design of the Lady Dior bag is undoubtedly timeless and elegant. The bag is made from a variety of high-quality materials. It also features the signature Dior letter charms that hang from the handles. Another key feature in leather variations of this bag is the Cannage stitching emblematic of the fashion house. This geometric technique was originally inspired by Napoleon III’s chairs which were used by Christian Dior for attendees of his shows.
Over time, the bag has undergone subtle design modifications. However, its signature attributes, such as the Dior charms and top-handle style, have remained consistent, while the bag is available in varying shapes and sizes.
