Dior. Bold French elegance and an iconic name.
The luxurious French fashion house was founded in 1947 in post-war Paris. Christian Dior's ready-to-wear styles revolutionized women's fashion and the handbag industry. In his first product launch, the designer introduced everything that every woman needs to complete their look: perfume, heels, and a handbag.
Today, Dior handbags are seen on the arms of the most influential women in fashion, politics, and pop culture. Designs from the fashion house are among the most desired at vintage shops and luxury resale stores. Preloved Dior handbags from The Purse Ladies will not only elevate your closet but can also be seen as investment pieces.
Materials Make the Bag
Dior sources the highest-quality materials for the construction of their handbags and purses. Using the best quality leather, fabrics, and embellishments ensures that Dior pieces will last. The attention to detail while sourcing materials propels the brand to the highest echelons of luxury fashion.
Many Christian Dior bags, including the famous Lady Dior bags, are handmade by expert artisans. The precision detailing of a Dior handbag is part of the reason the brand has catapulted to fashion royalty, making pre-owned Dior bags one of the most coveted items on designer resale markets.
Lady Dior
When Christian Dior founded the French brand, the It-Girls of the time who wore his iconic pieces were referred to as Miss Dior. This was also an homage to Christian's sister, who was the namesake of the brand's famous perfume.
Decades after Christian Dior's early death in 1957, one of the most recognizable Dior designs was created. The Lady Dior bag was initially a custom piece ordered by the First Lady of France. It was created as a gift for Princess Diana to celebrate her upcoming trip to the country.
With a black structured handbag made of soft and smooth leather, the quilted purse was seen in the hands of the royal in many public appearances after the visit. A true embodiment of a Miss Dior woman, Lady Diana Spencer became the namesake for the Lady Dior handbag. It was a massive hit in fashion circles and made its way into regular collections released by the fashion house.
Now one of the brand's most iconic designs, the Lady Dior purse is available in an array of different colors. The bags feature the same rectangular shape, impeccable quality, and a Dior charm on the handle. The Lady Dior handbag is very popular in the Dior bag resale market and frequently appears at The Purse Ladies. With a Lady Dior, any woman can have a touch of Princess Diana's style.
The Book Tote
In contrast to the elegant leather construction of the Lady Dior, the Dior Book Tote is a more casual but still stylish bag made to store anything and everything, including books. Seen on the arms of celebrities, jet setters, and businesswomen alike, the classy canvas bag brings Dior accessories down to jeans-and-a-t-shirt styling. One of the most approachable bags in the luxury handbag scene, it is available in colors and patterns to suit any style. Many Dior Tote Bags feature the iconic Dior logos, so everyone will know that you have great taste.
The Saddle Bag
The Dior Saddle Bag is a unique, saddle-shaped purse that has undoubtedly left its mark on fashion history. Designed by John Galliano for Dior in the 1990s, the saddle bag was a must-have in every celebrity and trendsetter's rotation for at least a decade. In the 1990s, everything designer John Galliano touched turned to gold.
With its asymmetrical, organic shape, the bag returned to the spotlight in the late 2010s. With Y2K fashion, it became a social media sensation, and influencers from Bella Hadid to Beyonce were spotted wearing the purse. Pre-owned Dior bags became a hugely popular search term, and vintage Dior Saddle Bags became the most sought-after item on the second-hand Dior bag market.
Constructed of leather and canvas, the saddle bag comes in many colors, styles, and designs. The most popular vintage versions of the bag feature the classic Dior logo and a "D" charm that adds a shiny touch.
Owning a piece from Dior means owning a piece of fashion history and putting you in the same category as some of the past century's most well-known and influential women. A pre-owned Dior bag from The Purse Ladies offers unmatched artisanal quality and thoughtful design with the satisfaction of an attainable price.
