History
In 1995, Diana Spencer, also known as Lady Diana, was gifted a bag by the French First Lady at the time, Bernadette Chirac, during the Paul Cézanne retrospective at the Grand Palais. She had it specially ordered and designed for the occasion to showcase French craftsmanship. A few months later, during a trip to Argentina, Lady Diana was spotted stepping off her plane carrying this famous bag. It became her new favorite bag, and she wore it on many occasions. It was later adopted by many other celebrities such as actress Monica Bellucci, singer Carla Bruni, and model Kate Moss. Today, this bag, now iconic, remains highly appreciated and has lost none of its charm and elegance.

It is this simplicity that makes this classic a timeless piece passed down from generation to generation. Perfect for all occasions, it can be worn with a casual look as well as a chic one.
