The Lady Dior is a true classic that has withstood the test of time, with the originals coming in a soft lambskin that was embroidered with Dior’s signature Cannage motif and finished with rounded reinforced handles as well as jewellery charms that spell out D-I-O-R.

Over the years, the iconic bag has seen its fair share of seasonal designs and finishes, from the use of patent leather to embroidered threads and even sequinned finishes. It was once even available in supple leather for those who prefer their bags less rigid. And just when you thought you’ve seen it all, Dior strips the Cannage motif off this Cruise 2019 piece, rendering it in an embossed grained calfskin exterior for that minimalistic look and feel.

Measuring some 32 cm by 25 cm (which is also the same size as the Lady Dior in Large), this bag comes with an all-new detachable shoulder strap that makes it slightly different from its counterpart. Longer and wider, it allows you to sling it comfortably across your body, without having to worry about it slipping off. Another point worth noting is the embossed grained calfskin. Not only is it thicker and sturdier than lambskin, the leather is also a tad more resistant to scratches.

Currently, there are three colours to keep an eye out for, from Black (very safe, very classic) to Burgundy (live a little, ok?) and Cypress Green (clearly a woman of great taste). Great for ladies who love a roomy work bag, or even guys who want a piece of Lady Dior, you will be able to find this SGD6700 bag at Dior boutiques (ION Orchard, Marina Bay Sands and Takashimaya Shopping Centre) islandwide.
