Princess Diana’s Dior Bag: The Mini Lady Dior Makes A Special Return
An exclusive reedition of the handbag worn by the Princess of Wales to the 1996 Met Gala will soon be available
How to buy Princess Diana’s Lady Dior handbag: Bazaar Arabia shares everything we know about the special reedition of the bag the Princess wore to the 1996 Met Gala.
Forever the ultimate style icon Princess Diana continues to inspire the next generation of tastemakers, right down to how we accessorise our looks. From the bold knits and ruffled frocks of her early twenties, to the tailored suits and Royal-Off-Duty looks of her thirties (there are few people in the world who can make biking shorts, tube socks and trainers look elegant whilst on their way to the gym), there are few words that best sum up her dressing habits; Timeless seems to be the most appropriate one.
With the rise in popularity of the Netflix television series The Crown (Season Five is now streaming on the platform) Zoomer Fashionistas and TikTok Trendsetters have been taking their stab at trying to emulate the Princess’ style. And whilst it may be easy to copy her trademark blue eyeliner and winged blond bob, you can’t really claim to be dressing like Lady Diana Spencer without the right accessories – meaning a Lady Dior bag is a must.
The Princess of Wales had a special relationship with the French fashion house, which started back in 1995 when she was first offered a bag to wear at an occasion in Paris. Chic yet practical and understated, a perfect hold-all for an evening’s essentials, it only made sense to pay homage to one of fashion’s greatest muses by adding a touch of “Lady Di” to its name. When Princess Diana attended the Met Gala (Metropolitan Museum) in 1996 she brought along her mini Lady Dior bag with her, delicately clasping in her perfectly manicured hand throughout the course of the night.
Now, a special replica of the same bag will soon be available as Dior unveils an exclusive reedition of the mini Lady Dior that the Princess wore at the gala.
The limited edition piece, embellished with strass, blue satin and the Dior charms is expected to become coveted by collectors and stylistas alike, a true classic that can be worn in a relaxed manner with jeans and a crisp white button down or for a night out on the town.
So… how can one buy Princess Diana’s Dior Bag?
It remains unclear which flagships and boutiques around the world will carry the exclusive reedition of the mini Lady Dior bag that Princess Diana wore to the 1996 Met Gala. Check back soon for more details.
