In September 1995, Lady Diana — visiting Paris for the opening of the Paul Cézanne
retrospective at the Grand Palais — was offered a Dior bag to wear on her various outings. From that day on, history was made, and the Maison’s most iconic bag has since been known as Lady Dior, paying homage to the Princess. The design is a jewel of craftsmanship, an irreplaceable piece in the brand’s catalogue and heritage. But, like any other gems perfected and reshaped over the years, the legendary bag has blossomed in a multitude of colours, sizes, and materials.

Its renaissance, season after season, is now carried by the vision of Maria Grazia Chiuri, who has redesigned it in new shades and formats, from Lady D-Lite to Lady D-Joy. Alternately adorned with entrancing prints, embroidery, or details revisiting the spirit of macramé, the Lady Dior lends itself to the most daring reinventions. Striking a perfect balance of modernity and timeless elegance, the captivating story of Lady Dior continues to be written, becoming, more than ever, a work of art.
