DIOR saddle bag

The House of Dior was established on 16 December 1946, in “a private house” at 30 Avenue Montaigne in Paris. However, the current Dior corporation celebrates “1947” as the opening year. The new couture house became a part of “a vertically integrated textile business” already operated by Marcel Boussac, co-owner of the company along with Monsieur Christian Dior.
