The Lady Dior

The Lady Dior bag by Dior is as elegant as Lady Diana, the Princess of Wales after whom the bag is named. The Lady Dior was first launched in 1944 with no official name. In September 1995, a classic black-colored Lady Dior bag was given as a gift to Lady Diana. The occasion? The inauguration of the Cézzanne exhibition at the Grand Palais in Paris. In 1996 it was renamed "Lady Dior "with her blessing. In just two years, the iconic model was sold more than 200,000 times. And still to this day, the bag is incredibly popular.

The Fendi Baguette

Say Fendi's Baguette, you say Carrie Bradshaw in Sex and the City. The bag's name comes, off course, from the a French Baguette. The name is a wink to the French carrying a loaf of bread under their arm. And if you ask us, the black Fendi Baguette is a perfect iconic black bag to carry around the city. The bag was designed by Silvia Venturini Fendi in 1997. Initially, the Italian fashion house was not happy with the design. It was considered too small, non-functional, too colorful and exuberant. Nevertheless, the bag became wildly popular and it is still very much loved by many women.
