Princess Diana had a longstanding relationship with Christian Dior - in fact, they were so close that he named one of his handbags after her while she was still alive. Here's the history behind the Lady Dior bag, and why the brand is revamping it for a modern wardrobe.
Some of the best designer bags in history have been named after influential women - one of the best Gucci bags, the Gucci Jackie (named after Jackie Kennedy) or the Hermès Birkin bag (named after Jane Birkin) spring to mind. Another handbag that has continued to outlive its inspiration with sartorial popularity is the beloved Lady Dior bag, aptly named after the late Princess Diana.
