Christian Dior Black Tweed Small Lady Dior Bag, 2012The 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 tweed bag with matching dual top handles, one interior compartment with zippered pocket, detachable strap, and top zipper closure.Label: Christian Dior Paris  Date Code: 11-MA-0162  Detailed FeaturesL 9" x H 7.5" x W 14"4" Handle Drop17" Shoulder Strap DropMain textile: Black tweed  Trim: Black tweed  Lining: Black leather  Hardware type: Gold-tone metal  Straps: Black leather  Handles: Black leather  Interior details:Additions: Gold-tone charms on the front that spell "DIOR" and six pendants attached to the hardware, authenticity card, black leather strap  Country of origin: ItalyCondition:  The overall condition is very good with no visible issues.    Everything is sold `As Is`.
