Introduced 26 years ago, the Lady Dior bag is an emblem composed of emblems – quilted with cannage patterns taken from the Napoleon III-style chairs of Christian Dior’s own salon and hung with charms shaped in the maison’s neoclassical logotype. It has been reinvented by Maria Grazia Chiuri for the 21st century – a timeless icon, now newly timely.
