Lady Dior Bags

The Christian Dior bag, the Lady Dior, is one of the atelier’s most celebrated styles. Introduced in 1994 by Creative Director Gianfranco Ferré, it was initially nicknamed Chouchou, or “the Favorite” in French. After the then-First Lady of France gifted one to Lady Diana, the Princess of Wales, it was love at first sight. The People’s Princess adored the bag, purchasing it in several colors and sizes. Christian Dior renamed it the Lady Dior bag as an homage to one of the 20th century’s most beloved fashion icons. 

Over 70 years of dedication to quality artisanship and style forge a contemporary take on luxury Dior handbags, embodied in the Lady Dior bag. The intricate, geometric quilting pattern is a beguiling mix of squares and diamonds called Cannage. The distinct design was inspired by the cane chairs used in the Dior flagship boutique. The exquisite handbag is generally crafted from quilted lambskin; however, limited editions offer embroidered leather, satin, patent leather, velvet, ostrich, python, crocodile, and tweed versions.
