One of the brand’s earliest and most legendary handbags, the Lady Dior Bag was named after Diana, the Princess of Wales. Princess Diana was famously seen sporting the Chouchou bag, as it was called earlier, on various occasions after which it was aptly rechristened.

The epitome of femininity, elegance and sophistication, this bag was gifted to Diana by France’s first lady Bernadette Chirac in 1995. Thereafter, the princess instantaneously became a fan and incorporated the Dior bag into her wardrobe. She carried every available version with her to her outings.

Since then, all the creative heads who succeeded Monsieur Christian Dior, including Marc Bohan and John Galliano and current creative director Maria Grazia Chiuri, have retained the classic silhouettes, shapes, textures and forms in the latest collections of Dior bags.

A modernised, teeny tiny take on the classic Lady Dior Bag — The Micro Lady Dior Bag — can be seen with BLACKPINK member and Dior global ambassador Jisoo, who posted a picture flaunting the adorable bag on her Instagram page. Jisoo pairs the luxury house’s tiny iteration of the famed bag with a classic white collared top and blue, stonewashed denim jeans.

Since its inception, the Lady Dior was and remains to date, a beloved accessory of handbag connoisseurs, since it gracefully ties together any style or aesthetic. From feminine flowy dresses to rompers and blue denim, it perfectly compliments any kind of outfit in every season. It is still one of the most iconic Dior handbags of all time.
