The Lady Dior is known for its structured body, rounded handles, cannage stitching and letter charms. Its public story is inseparable from the late Princess Diana, whose appearances with the bag helped give it its name.
The Saddle takes a different path: an asymmetric, equestrian-referencing shape introduced in the late 1990s. The two bags illustrate how a house can build separate design codes rather than repeat a single silhouette. Current sizes, materials and strap options should be checked against official collection details.

Researching an individual bag
Use a model-specific reference whenever possible. A recognizable logo, clasp or material pattern can help identify the design, but does not authenticate an individual bag. Production details, sizing and available services can change across years and markets.
For current specifications, check the house’s own product details. For historical context, read museum records alongside the house account. For a pre-owned purchase, assess the exact item’s construction, condition, provenance and return terms separately.

Brand pages document the house’s own descriptions; independent museum records add historical context. Neither is a substitute for item-specific provenance or a professional assessment.
