 "In September 1995, Lady Diana, (who was visiting Paris for the opening of the Paul Cézanne retrospective at the Grand Palais,) was offered a Dior bag to wear on her various outings. Thanks to this exceptional ambassador, the bag’s name was a given: it was to be called Lady Dior. During an official visit to Argentina in November of the same year, the Princess appeared carrying the bag as she was getting off the plane in Buenos Aires. The scene was immortalized in a now iconic photo immediately circulated around the world. The accessory quickly became one of Lady Diana’s go-to pieces, and she wore it during all of her outings, going as far as requesting a navy blue version to match her eyes. It’s only natural that Lady Diana, who loved the bag for its modern, elegant curves – and simply “because it suited [her] well,” eventually inspired the name of this object of desire.  Now a timeless icon of Dior style, the Lady Dior continues to be reinvented. Blending modernity and elegance, this sculptural object of desire carries an exceptional legacy: its refined design, magnified by the graphic pattern of cannage, highlights the House's eternal codes and the excellence of its ateliers."

Condition - Very Good to Excellent 

Details -

This exquisite piece may be 10 yeas old but she's utterly stunning and has been cared for exceptionally well.

Perfectly shaped and without any immediately visible scratches, scuffs or scrapes, all corners are perfect, all stitching tight and without very close inspection, undeniably appears in an excellent condition throughout.

Protective film in place on inner side eyelets, the top zip runs smoothly, there are no catches to the trims and the shoulder strap displays no use.

Only when reviewing the inner sides of the top handles can you note a number of light fingernail scratches to the lambskin hide on the fronts handle, as shown.

Four shallow diagonal surface impressions to the base and an extremely light, vertical scratch to the upper RH side of the base, (all locations circled and shown in close up detail below.) All very minor and completely unnoticable in use.

The main reason she hasn't achieved a sole Excellent condition rating is due to the inevitable, slight dulling to each side of the 'O' in the hanging charm where the other letters contact. Much less noticable than the close up photos make this appear.

Lined in pristine, bright red, cannage patterned jacquard textile with full depth zip pocket.
