Anyone familiar with Dior will know about its founder’s fascination with the lily of the valley. But it gets even better once you know the intricacies behind the iconic house code. Simply put, Monsieur Dior was passionate about flowers and chose the lily of the valley as a good-luck charm.
A symbol of purity and joy, the charming bloom often peeped from his pocket at runway shows. It even adorned his personal stationery, and also inspired his Spring-Summer 1954 collection. To bring the wearer good fortune, the lily of the valley was stitched into the hems of dresses.

Today, the magic lives on through the house’s fashion and beauty creations. The latest is this Lily Of The Valley tableware collection that Dior Maison’s artistic director Cordelia de Castellane dreamed up. An ode to the symbol of good fortune, it evokes an elegant French country feel while celebrating nature’s beauty.
Enchantingly fresh and whimsical, the collection adds gorgeous colour and texture to the table. Blooming all over an assortment of plates and drinkware, sprigs of the lily of the valley adorn the tableware line-up. Just like the blossoms that emerge in springtime, the designs herald warmer days to come.
Ace the art of dining in style with a selection of elegant Limoges porcelain plates and cups in tones of green and white, alongside a hand-blown glass carafe that will make warm weather cocktails even more enjoyable. Prices range from SGD110 for a coffee cup saucer to SGD700 for a carafe.
