Did you know the bag, was originally named “Chouchou” ?
But what does it mean? Well ‘chouchou’ is a French term of affection.
In September 1995, the soon to be iconic Dior’s bag was given to Diana, Princess of Wales by the France’s first lady, Bernadette Chirac, on the occasion of her visit to Paris.
Princess Diana would later collect the bag in all of its colours and flaunt them at the countless events on her social calendar. From official visits to the Met Gala, both Princess Diana and Dior’s handbag blossomed into fashion icons.
