Rich in history, Lady Dior is arguably one of Dior’s most iconic pieces. Inspired by the Napoleon III chairs used in his first show for the French fashion house in 1947, Gianfranco Ferre designed this icon in 1994. It was first named the ‘Chouchou’ – meaning “favourite” in French – and before it was released just a few women in the world had the opportunity to wear it. In September 1995, Princess Diana was gifted the bag by Bernadette Chirac, the First Lady of France, at the Cézanne Art Exhibition at the Grand Palais in Paris. Diana was subsequently photographed clutching the bag- thus it eventually earned the name “Lady Dior”.

Since its creation, Lady Dior has been reinvented countless times. Its timeless beauty lies in the bag’s easy-to-use rounded handles, signature Cannage motif and soft lambskin leather. Today’s versions of the Lady Dior bag offer a playful charm to personalize the bag to your liking, along with wide shoulder straps for easier wearing. There are many sizes, accessory options, and materials ranging from leather to embroidery.

Despite the reinventions of this bag, since its debut in 1995, the Lady Dior handbag has never stopped being in style. These iconic pieces are truly made for the modern fashionista, who, like the bag itself, is always evolving but never going out of style.
