An icon for almost three decades, one of Dior’s most distinctive bags gets a New Look.

AHEAD OF THE CURVE

The Lady Dior has never left but recently, the iconic Dior bag has been receiving a new surge of attention with the release of the latest season of The Crown. The new episodes focus on the dissolution of the marriage between Prince Charles and Lady Diana in the 1990s-a time at which she was at the height of her fashion influence. That was when she honed the superstar style we've come to associate with her-and the Lady Dior was an indelible part of that image. So much so that the brand named the bag for her. The costume designers on The Crown were faithful in recreating Diana's looks-down to the Lady Dior bags that Elizabeth Debicki (who played Diana) carried scene after scene. The brand knows a cultural moment when it sees one-it recently reissued the mini Lady Dior that Diana carried to the 1996 Met Gala.
