Dior was inspired by Lady Diana who wore her bag so much, they decided to change the name to Lady Dior. According to Purseblog, Before that moment, this Dior bag did not have a name but because of the historic moment snapped with this bag on her arm, it received the perfect name: “The Lady Dior”. The Lady Dior bag is iconic and elegant and will never go out of style.  According to Marieclaire, It was then that the Lady Dior bag became associated with the world’s most publicised woman. In 1996, as a homage to the Princess, it was renamed ‘Lady Dior’ with her blessing.” According to Vogue, “The metallic charms that fall from the strap are inspired by the lucky charms that he so loved, and its signature quilting is a nod to Napoleon III’s chairs on which guests at the Dior runway shows would sit: a thread of history runs through each of the couturier’s collections.”

The Lady Dior bag became so popular since Lady Diana started wearing her Lady Dior, in 1995.  Since then it has become very popular and classic. According to Vogue, “A signature piece of the French fashion house and a knowing nod to its founding couturier, it was after being worn by Princess Diana that the bag gained the momentum that would pull it through the decades, forging its place in the fashion scene today.” Lady Diana made a mark in Dior fashion for over a decade.
