The beginnings
The House’s iconic Lady Dior handbag is eternally linked to Lady Diana, Princess of Wales. In September 1995, while attending the opening of the Paul Cézanne retrospective at the Grand Palais in Paris, the First Lady of France presented Lady Diana a gift. The gift was a then yet-unreleased Dior bag which at that time was called Chouchou. In November, of the same year, during an official visit to Argentina, Lady Diana appeared carrying the bag she got as a gift from the first lady of France. While she was getting off the plane in Buenos Aires, the scene was immortalized in an iconic photo that circulated around the world immediately. Fashion knowers then immediately paid attention to the iconic accessory in her hands.

She went even far and requested a new navy blue handbag which will perfectly match her eyes. The Lady Dior handbag has modern and elegant curves that make any woman go absolutely crazy. Lady Diana who loved the bag, and the way the bag suited her, inspired the fashion house to name this object of desire by her name.

A classic for all seasons
There is no doubt that the Lady Dior handbag is one of the favorite ones on every woman’s closet sheets. It is statement pieces that can be worn all year long. For the Dior Cruise 2022 collection, Maria Grazia Chiuri reinterprets the architectural line of the iconic Lady Dior handbag in the horizontal D-joy format. The bag was enhanced by a leather-and-chain shoulder strap. It had many different exclusive ultra-contemporary versions such as those adorned with beige raffia, and pearl embroidery, as well as Diamond Cannage, which reinvents the iconic pattern in a black, latte, or compass rose. Every next handbag is more irresistible than the previous one.
Savoir-faire and excellence with heart

Buying a Lady Dior for the first time
Buying a designer handbag is a real investment. It may cost you a little fortune, so before you take the step of buying it, you need to consider a few things in mind. You may not have the opportunity to buy more than one designer bag in your life, so choose wisely when you do your first purchase. If you have decided to buy a Lady Dior handbag, let us tell you that you have chosen well. Dior’s Fashion House offers you many different sizes, colors, and designs of the iconic Lady Dior, but no matter which one you choose you can go wrong. The bag is simply iconic and timeless.
Indeed, Dior’s popularity is growing. You may purchase your handbag in any of the stores of the Fashion house, as well as on the second-hand market. The Lady Dior bags don’t hold their value very well so they sell for great prices on the secondhand market. However, since the popularity of the bag has increased during the last few years, this may not be the case anymore.
