Christian Dior handbags: a feminine essential since 1995
Since the launch of the legendary Lady Dior in 1995, the Dior handbag has established itself as a timeless piece of women's fashion. The House of Dior, founded by the legendary Christian Dior, has always embodied luxury, elegance and refinement. Dior bags have been adopted by sophisticated women the world over, from Bernadette Chirac to Lady Diana, reinforcing their iconic status.
Under the direction of visionary designers like John Galliano, Dior bags have not only made fashion history, but have often been imitated, never equaled. These accessories have had a considerable impact on the world of haute couture, becoming symbols of femininity and glamour. However, they have not been without controversy, often linked to the creative audacity of their designers.
Lady Dior Bag
Introduced during the Gianfranco Ferré era, the Lady Dior handbag quickly became a must-have "it bag". Its unique design, with its cannage quilting inspired by the Napoléon III chairs of Dior's first fashion shows and its metal charms spelling out "D.I.O.R.", embodies the traditional craftsmanship of the luxury house of Dior. Named in tribute to Princess Lady Diana, who carried it from 1995 onwards, this luxury bag is a staple in every woman's wardrobe. Investing in a Lady Dior bag is more than just a smart investment; it's a little piece of the famous French fashion house.
The Dior Saddle Bag
Created by fashion enfant terrible John Galliano, the Dior Saddle bag is directly inspired by the shape of a horse saddle. This bold, unique design immediately captured the attention of fashion lovers, before enjoying a second life with its 2018 revival. Designed to be carried over the shoulder with a shoulder strap, it has become a symbol of enduring fashion and luxury. The Saddle Bag, with its distinctive curves and iconic monogram, is a testament to the refinement and timeless elegance of the House of Dior.
The Dior 30 Montaigne Bag
Launched in 2019 under the artistic direction of Maria Grazia Chiuri, the 30 Montaigne bag pays tribute to the House's historic address: 30 avenue Montaigne, where Christian Dior founded his couture house in 1946. With its clean lines, smooth calfskin leather and gold-finish "CD" clasp, it embodies understated, contemporary elegance. It is the ideal choice for those looking for a pre-owned Dior bag that is sober, structured and instantly recognisable.
Bobby, Caro, Diorama: the House's other icons
The Bobby bag, a soft-curved hobo unveiled in 2020, owes its name to Christian Dior's beloved dog. The Caro bag, introduced in 2021, takes the nickname of Catherine Dior, the couturier's sister, and stands out with its supple cannage quilting and sculptural "CD" clasp. The Diorama, born during the Raf Simons era, charms with its graphic, architectural spirit. Depending on arrivals, you will also discover Book Tote and pouch models or rare vintage pieces in our selection — every bag is a unique piece, hand-picked and authenticated by our experts.
The House of Dior: Parisian elegance since 1946
Founded in 1946 at 30 avenue Montaigne in Paris, the House of Christian Dior revolutionised fashion in February 1947 with the New Look, a silhouette that redefined post-war femininity. From the artistic directions of Yves Saint Laurent and Marc Bohan to those of Gianfranco Ferré, John Galliano, Raf Simons and Maria Grazia Chiuri, each era has enriched the House's creative vocabulary — and given rise to bags that have become true collector's items. Choosing a second-hand Dior bag means owning a fragment of that history.
