Christian Dior Quilted Leather Lady Dior Bag, 2014  

The Dior Lady Bag first debuted in 1995 as the Chouchou bag, and was presented to Princess Diana by Bernadette Chirac, then-First Lady of France. It was renamed in 1996 to honor the late princess. It was launched during Gianfranco Ferre's tenure using the 'cannage' pattern inspired by the cane-backed chairs favored by Christian Dior in his salons. The bag has since been canonized as a house staple, reinvented each season by the successive creative directors.  

Black top stitched heart pattern with a cut out surface design leather bag with matching dual top handles, one interior compartment, detachable strap, and removable black pouch with handle.
