Here’s French actress Marion Cotillard doing what Marion Cotillard does best, looking sultry and ever so elegant on any given day. And she’s back again as the face of Dior’s Cruise 2017 ad campaign for the Lady Dior bag, which many here would agree, are both icons in their own right.

Inspired by the childhood home of Monsieur Christian Dior in Granville, here’s a little something you might not know. Set in beautifully gardened grounds of his family home (which I had the esteemed honour of visiting a couple years back), perched on the cliff by the sea, the gardens were also where Monsieur Dior spent much time in, the flowers (including his signature rose) eventually becoming the centrepiece of his many collections.

Shown here resting beguilingly in the same gardens, you’ll see the new My Lady Dior clasped lovingly in her hands, the one that comes with additional badges inspired by Dior’s house codes on its shoulder sling. Previously covered on the blog here, these bags are already in Singapore, which come in a new size (20 cm by 17 cm) that many of you will find just right.

The fourth image shows an exotic Lady Dior with elaborate floral embroidery, a stunner of a bag that one can only truly appreciate if they visit Dior in person.
