A NEW LADY

There’s more to the Lady Dior than its precious ties with the late Princess Diana. For one, there’s the history of the bag’s quilted pattern, otherwise known as Dior Cannage, a design motif inspired by the cane-weaving technique. Called cannage in French, it was used in the Napoleon Ill-style chairs in Monsieur Christian Dior’s Paris atelier. This season, a new iteration named Lady Dior Pearl Cannage elevates the signature quilting with pristine white-resin pearls. To match the colourway of the pearlised embroidery, the bag is fashioned in just one shade a dusty white that the brand has dubbed as Latte — and accentuated with pale gold hardware and ornate hand-crafted DIOR charms.
