Lady DIOR Judgment bag, a timeless bag
Do you know the story of the famous Le Lady Dior bag? In 1995, the Grand Palais in Paris hosted the prestigious Cézanne exhibition. The first French Lady of the time Bernadette Chirac must go there with the Princess of Wales. She then ordered a handbag from Dior reflecting French know-how and elegance. The Couture House chose a small black model with caning reminiscent of the Napoleon III chairs that Christian Dior loved so much (often seen during fashion shows) and added a small metallic charm with the House's initials. Love at first sight assured between Diana Spencer and the Bag that she will never leave, both during her official visits and during social dinners, as in 1996 when she brushed the red carpet of the MET Gala wearing it.
Shortly after its launch, sales of Maison Dior leather goods increased tenfold. Over time, La Princesse will decline it in all available versions. Princess Diana's loyalty and her free publicity for the bag prompted the Couture House to rename it "Lady Dior" in her honor. Since its creation, it has been declined in different sizes, colors, patterns, caning.
Like the Saddle, the Lady Dior, iconic models, embody the ultimate French elegance, constantly reinventing themselves with the seasons.
