The Lady Dior is undoubtedly one of the most emblematic bags in the history of fashion. Launched in 1994 under the original name "Chouchou", its destiny changed in 1995. It was then that Bernadette Chirac, First Lady of France, gave it as a gift to Princess Diana of Wales during her visit to Paris. Diana Spencer's love affair with the bag was instantaneous; from that moment on, the princess wore it assiduously on her travels around the world, consolidating its popularity. Given the resounding success of the bag when it arrived in boutiques in January 1996, the Maison decided to officially rename it Lady Dior, an enduring tribute to the iconic Princess of Wales. This coveted accessory comes in a wide variety of materials, ranging from soft lambskin or patent calfskin, to more exotic options such as deerskin, smooth leather, grained leather, crocodile skin, canvas or python skin, among others. Each Lady Dior piece is a handcrafted work of art, requiring the meticulous work of seven craftsmen and a minimum of eight hours of manufacturing. For its elaboration, about 130 pieces must be delicately cut and sewn by hand, which underlines its exclusivity and the mastery behind its creation.
