The Story Of Diana’s Favorite Lady Dior Bag!

Did you know that the famous Princess Diana Lady Dior bag had a different name before Princess Diana wore it? 

Only a few ladies had bags named after them, and Princess Diana was one of them. It all started in 1994 when Gianfranco Ferre crafted a bag inspired by the Napoleon III chairs used in his debut show for the French fashion house in 1947. This beauty comes with a quilted cannage motif and has a sturdy silhouette. Apart from that, Dior Charm is there to lift up your confidence. Initially, it was named ‘Chouchou,’ which means “favorite” in French, and only a few women could wear it.

Later on, Princess Diana was gifted a Lady Dior bag by the first lady of France at an art exhibition that was taking place in Paris. After the Lady met the Dior bag for the first time, she liked it so much that she contacted Dior to have more pieces of it in different colors. Then she was spotted wearing the bag many times, which was also worn at the Met Gala. Hence it was named the Lady Dior bag.
