Christian Dior Lady Dior

Lady Diana with Lady Dior Bag

In the 90s, the late Princess Diana started one spark (among many sparks she made) in the fashion history  with a Dior bag that officially sent the house into bag business, hence the name of  the bag is a tribute to the Lady. Today, Dior is still among the few fashion mega brands which rely more on its ready-to-wear and make-up lines for its revenue generation as opposed to on its leather goods such as Hermes, Gucci and Vuitton. Nevertheless, its Lady Dior bag is still one of the most iconic and timeless bags around.

Almost 20 years later, John Galliano updated the classic again and putting one of French hottest actress, Marion Cotillard as the new face of the house and for the bag. Leighton Meester’s Blair Waldorf in the Gossip Girl has been seen with different reincarnations of the bag throughout the season 2 of the show. The new Lady Dior bags were definitely designed with younger audiences in mind and the best part is, it is still one of the classic bags we come across less often today.

As the name suggests, this piece of Dior is for a lady, not any women, let alone girls. The bag is simple and feminine yet the owner knows herself and has discovered her own style long time ago.
