Lady Dior is one of the most emblematic bags in history. It was launched in 1994 and was originally called "Chouchou". In 1995 Bernadette Chirac received Princess Diana of Wales in Paris, and gave her this beautiful bag, which would soon be renamed Lady Dior in honor of the princess. The love affair was immediate, and Diana Spencer would appear from then on wearing it on her travels around the world. In January 1996 the bag arrived in the boutiques being a great success, since then the Maison decided to rename it Lady Dior in honor of Princess Diana of Wales. We can find this bag in different materials such as lambskin, patent calfskin, deerskin, soft leather, grained leather, crocodile leather, Canvas or python leather, among others. Each piece requires the work of seven artisans and a minimum of eight hours to be made. Likewise, about 130 pieces are needed to be delicately cut and sewn by hand.
