In this case, the selection between the luxurious ladylike character of Lady Dior and the utilitarian charm of Book Tote is not only a matter of taste; it is an investment decision as well. To make the right choice of the piece that will keep its value or even appreciate over the years, one needs to know each category’s resale performance, design evolution, and market demand.

Architecturally structured with a box silhouette, the Lady Dior is a canvas for Cannage quilting- a pattern taken from those Napoleon III chairs on which Christian Dior used to place his runway shows; it is sheer stiff formal elegance. The characteristic stiff top handles with the signature charms spelling out D.I.O.R. dangling from them form the genesis of the Dior handbag DNA. Every design that followed had to either respect or masterfully and deliberately invert this original design.

With sustainability and conscious consumption entering the societal lexicon, the resell luxury market is now bigger than ever. High-quality accessories indeed hold allure and value in the pre-owned market, including iconic and elegant Christian Dior bags, belts, and scarves.
