The most iconic Dior handbag and one of the great icons in fashion history

The Christian Dior Lady Dior Cannage is much more than a luxury handbag: it is a true legend in the fashion world. Sophisticated, elegant, and instantly recognizable, this model represents the most refined essence of the Dior maison.

With its iconic Cannage quilting, architectural structure, and golden hardware, the Lady Dior has become one of the most desired designs ever created by the French brand. This black nylon version also provides a more minimalist and contemporary look, while maintaining all the classic elegance of the original model.

Since its launch, the Lady Dior has been a symbol of sophisticated femininity, becoming one of the most important pieces in the luxury vintage and archive fashion market.

History of the Lady Dior: the bag that became an icon

The Lady Dior was officially born in 1995 and achieved international fame after being gifted to Princess Diana of Wales during an official visit to Paris. Diana was so fascinated with the design that she began to carry it constantly, making it one of her most recognizable bags.

Soon after, Dior decided to rename the model Lady Dior in homage to Lady Di, thus consolidating one of the most iconic handbags in the history of luxury fashion.

The emblematic Cannage motif, inspired by the Napoleon III chairs used in Christian Dior's historic fashion shows, has since become one of the most recognizable codes of the maison.
