Christian Dior Large Lady Dior Black Cannage Quilted Nylon 1990s | Sold Attire

In 1995, when Princess Diana carried her Dior bag in Paris, she didn't just accessorize. She created a legend.

The Designer's Vision

The Lady Dior, born in 1995 and christened by royalty, represents Dior's mastery of architectural elegance. While most collectors know the lambskin version, this black cannage quilted nylon iteration from the late 1990s is particularly rare. Gianfranco Ferré, Dior's creative director at the time, understood that luxury could be lightweight without sacrificing presence. The signature cannage quilting, inspired by Napoleon III chairs in Dior's original atelier, translates beautifully to technical nylon. Craft over trend, Parisian innovation over convention.

For Cairo collectors, this piece is a bridge to investment-grade heritage. Bold design, discontinued fabrication, archive-status silhouette.

The nylon Lady Dior is exceptionally rare compared to leather iterations. Dior discontinued nylon production for this model in the early 2000s, making surviving examples highly sought after by collectors who recognize provenance. On international platforms like Fashionphile, similar nylon Lady Dior bags command $1,800–2,400 USD (EGP 88,000–117,000), positioning this piece at nearly 50% below international resale pricing. With 9/10 condition, original authenticity cards, and code RU0979 verified, this represents accessible luxury from an iconic era.
