Description
Model History:
The Lady Dior was born in 1995 and quickly gained worldwide recognition when it was presented to Lady Diana by Bernadette Chirac during an official visit to Paris. Worn on several occasions by the princess, it was quickly nicknamed “Lady Dior” in her honor. A true icon of the house, this bag combines the aesthetic codes dear to Dior: purity of line, assertive structure and couture details. Over the years, it has been produced in a variety of materials, sizes and finishes. This 2020 version, in embroidered white canvas, takes a more tactile, lighter approach, while retaining the formal rigor that is the model’s hallmark. It also reflects Dior’s constant attention to the interplay of textures, craftsmanship and the evolution of contemporary style.
Exterior Details:
The bag is crafted in high-quality white canvas, embroidered with the iconic cannage motif. This geometric texture lends a subtle visual volume to the material and reinforces the understated elegance of the model. The rounded handles are sheathed in the same fabric for a sophisticated tone-on-tone effect. Shiny silver eyelets are engraved with the initials “CD”, and metallic “D.I.O.R.” charms, suspended from one of the handles, add a refined play of movement and light. The wide shoulder strap, embroidered in the same motif, is adjustable and removable, making the bag easy to adapt to everyday use. Metal feet at the base protect the underside of the bag, while maintaining its rigid structure.
Interior details:
The interior is lined with a tone-on-tone fabric, probably a cotton canvas or smooth microfiber, ensuring a soft feel and optimum protection of contents. The main compartment features a side zipped pocket and a patch pocket, for efficient storage of small belongings. The bag opens with a semi-flexible inner flap for discreet yet secure closure. The interior label, stamped “Christian Dior – Made in Italy”, attests to the authenticity and savoir-faire of the house.
Product Condition:
The bag is in exceptional condition, with no visible defects. The canvas is perfectly white, with no stains or signs of wear. The embroidery is intact, with no pulled threads or sagging. The handles are rigid and well-structured, and the shoulder strap retains its hold. The metal parts are shiny, with no scratches or oxidation. The interior is also impeccably clean, with no signs of wear.
Care instructions:
To preserve the brilliance of the white and the quality of the embroidered fabric, we recommend handling the bag with clean hands and avoiding prolonged contact with dark or abrasive textiles. In the event of dust, a soft, dry cloth is sufficient for maintenance. Avoid direct exposure to sunlight or humidity to prevent color fading. Store the bag in its cotton cover when not in use, keeping it lightly filled to preserve its rigid shape and sharp corners.
