戴安娜王妃Princess Diana的造型師Anna Harvey、幫助戴安娜王妃從幼兒園的助手轉變為皇室的形象代言人,曾經這樣評價她的客戶「時尚可能不是一個優先事項,但她喜歡嘗試。威爾士王妃的風格遺產掩蓋了她最初的淡定」「當時英國上層社會的女孩不像現在這樣了解服裝,那時沒有”It-girls”」,Harvey解釋道。品牌仍然在戴安娜的市場能力上大放異彩。手袋是了解戴妃個性的一個窗口,特別是當她在90年代與君主制保持距離時,仍然是她的造型師所描述的那個堅定的現代女性的象徵,但從不關心是否時尚。

繼Hermès用Grace Kelly和Jane Birkin的名字命名了現在的標誌性手袋,戴安娜也啟發了Christian Dior、Salvatore Ferragamo 以及Tod’s以她的名義命名經典皮具。Lady Dior袋、最初被稱為Chouchou,但在1996年被重新命名,因為戴安娜收到了Bernadette Chirac的禮物,從此以後很少看到她不用這個手袋的身影,至今仍是一個流行的品牌風格。Ferragamo的鏈帶袋,由於品牌的金色鉤狀Gancio扣而被識別出來,一旦發現這位皇室成員是這種配飾的粉絲,就成了Lady Di的標誌。 Vogue的Sarah Mower曾經計算過,這位王妃擁有超過20個Lady Dior。

當自從戴妃發掘了Tod’s的時尚手袋並開始將她的個人物品——包攬健身器材到皇家旅遊必需品裝入其寬敞的皮革內膽後,這個品牌的D Bag也被重新設​​計。現在被稱為D-Styling包,並傾向於斜揹袋領域,手袋原型仍然可以在古董寄售網站上找到,如Vestiaire Collective。Lana Marks的戴安娜王妃袋,是戴安娜本人委託製作的淑女款,更難買到,稀有的皮革款零售價在數千英鎊左右。

鑑於她與Gianni Versace的密切關係,沒有一個以她的名字命名的Medusa徽章包也許令人驚訝。不過,該品牌獨特的頂部手柄款式成為她的現代選擇,取代了她在皇室的前輩們所喜愛的家族認可的Launer手袋。同時,戴安娜與Anya Hindmarch的合作顯示了這位王妃最敏銳的洞察力;緞面 「cleavage bag」成為她抵禦媒體窺視的一種盔甲。鑑於她的領口越來越低(Diana因混跡於Gianni的圈子而膽大妄為),她僱傭Anya製作緞面手拿包,當她走出汽車時,可以將其放在胸前。 Hindmarch在甜美的袋子裡繡上了字母D,這成為他們的小秘密。

當然,如果沒有一點Chanel的痕跡,任何著名的手袋檔案都是不完整的。戴安娜沒有選擇Coco Chanel的經典翻蓋袋或2.55型號,而是喜歡優雅接近於藝術品的款式。有傳言說她不喜歡交錯的CC——因為它們是Charles和他的情人Camila的名字縮寫,考慮到戴安娜離婚後對Chanel精緻的西裝和配飾的喜愛,事實證明這是沒有根據的。

正如哈維對戴安娜後來的獨立思考,「高跟鞋越來越高,裙子越來越短——這幾乎是衣服的信號,以示她的精神狀態」。她的手袋,直到今天仍然是她最永恆的東西,是她走自己的路的標誌,一個自然時尚的標誌。
