History of Lady Dior or Lady D bag:

In 1995, the French first lady, Bernardette Chirac, asked the house of Dior for a grant to give to Princess Diana, on the occasion of her visit to Paris. The fashion house, at the time under the guidance of Gianfranco Ferré, proposed a bag not yet made public, called at the time Chouchou. Conceived in 1994, this bag was born from the desire to give life to something that was strongly iconic and that represented in every way the identity of the Dior fashion house, which was recognizable.

Here is how Chouchou takes shape: a break with the fashion of the time. To be carried by hand, small, bold, elegant, unconventional. When the bag was presented to Lady Diana, her reaction was obvious: the princess literally fell in love with the Dior bag.

But not only Lady Diana was the face of this bag, but other women have also represented her: Monica Bellucci, Carla Bruni, the wonderful Marion Cotillard, muse since 2008. This bag is now one of the spearheads of the Dior Maison: there is no woman who has not wanted it at least once; an icon of style and elegance, the Lady fascinates anyone.

Its identity is built on emblematic aspects of the Maison. One of these is certainly the Cannage stitching, typical of Dior, formed by a network of oblique and perpendicular seams, which form padded leather pads. Its bow-shaped handle gives elegance and femininity to the bag, to be worn by hand.

The charms that adorn the Lady are to all effects the jewels: they are in fact covered with a thin layer of gold. Hanging from one of the handles, the letters DIOR hang rattling. Lady Dior is produced in three sizes: small, medium and large. Black leather is her traditional dress, but designers who have followed Maison's leadership have always shown so much imagination in the choice of fabrics and patterns to reproduce it.
