Selected items – We change the way you think about forever.
In 1995, a single public appearance was enough to make design history. Shortly after Diana, Princess of Wales, was photographed carrying the bag, its rise to icon status began. Presented here in its timeless black leather iteration and medium size, it demonstrates why the Lady Dior has lost none of its appeal over the past three decades.
Its signature Cannage quilting, architectural silhouette, and distinctive Dior letter charms embody a sense of effortless elegance that only a handful of designs ever achieve.
Over the course of its history, Dior has introduced countless handbags. Most have come and gone. The Lady Dior remained. Perhaps that is the simplest definition of a classic: you recognize it instantly—and miss it the moment it is gone.
*Möller & Schaar is among the most storied names in Frankfurt's luxury retail history. Founded in the early 1930s, the company shaped the city's luxury landscape for more than eight decades. Its flagship store on Goethestraße, in particular, was regarded as a longstanding institution for international designer fashion and exceptional personal service.
