Christian Dior 101 : The Lady Dior

Its Lady Dior is one of the most recognizable handbags globally, associated with sophistication and elegance and longevity. Launched by the world-renowned fashion house of Christian Dior in the early nineties the Lady Dior embraced the dignity of a classic chic accessory overnight and became the rage of the fashion conscious.

The Birth of the Lady Dior is an iconic piece which forms part of the Artist’s “Muse” collection of paintings.

Lady Dior handbag was launched in 1995 although it was initially named “Chouchou” which is a French word conveying a meaning of a favorite. Lover’s bag was created when Polge was preparing for the meeting with Diana during her visiting Paris. The Princess of Wales purchased the bag on sight and was often seen using it hence making it very popular within a short span of time. This bag was named after her and since then it became a true symbol of fashion – Lady Dior.

Design and Features

The Lady Dior is one of the models that has a rather strict and laconic look to it. The bag is made of high quality refined leather such as lambskin, patent leather or even suede, which has the Cannage quilted pattern unique to the fashion house. The quilting pattern basically mimics those chairs which were used by Napoléon III in the very first fashion show conducted by Christian Dior.

This is most especially true in the case of the Lady Dior bag that as one of the most conspicuous and popular accessories with such features as a charm, a set of gold or silver letters that spells out ‘D. I. O. R. ’, hanging from one of the handles. What I like about these charms is that it imparts a romantic and feminine flair to the bag and is not found in any other bags.

The Lady Dior has different sizes, including the Mini Lady Dior as well as the Large Lady Dior depending with the variety of the needs of a lady. All sizes provide a generous amount of pockets for the necessities and an elegant and classic look for the bag.

A Timeless Classic

Throughout the years the Lady Dior has undergone many changes in colors and fabric types as well as has been developed in the frames of many limited edition collections, however, it still holds the position of an eternal elegance. That handbag remains popular among celebrities, royalties, and fashion icons across the globe, and this makes the Lady Dior a member of fashion royalty.

Conclusion

The Lady Dior is not just a handbag; it is representation of Christian Dior vision and the kind of luxury the company offers to its clients. The Lady Dior has been in existence since 1990s and up-to-date it is among the most admirable handbags available in the market.
