A gift to Princess Diana that she carried so often it took her name.
Origin
Gianfranco Ferré designed the bag in 1994 under the nickname Chouchou, French for favorite. In 1995 France's first lady Bernadette Chirac gave one to Princess Diana during a Paris visit. In 1996, as a tribute, Dior renamed it Lady Dior with her blessing.
Design
The bag's woven diamond pattern is called cannage, or caning. It echoes the Napoléon III chairs that Christian Dior seated his guests on at his runway shows. Cannage means the woven caning used on classic French furniture.

Fair value is the median of recorded resale prices for that spec, broadened and labeled when a spec is thin. Landed estimates add each platform's typical buyer fees and shipping, before sales tax. An estimate, not an appraisal. Affiliate links may earn us a commission.
