Dior 1989 For Sale on 1stDibs

You are likely to find exactly the vintage or contemporary dior 1989 you’re looking for on 1stDibs, as there is a broad range for sale. Black is a pretty popular color, but we also have Gray, Brown, Beige and more in stock now. Making the right choice when shopping for a dior 1989 may mean looking at versions that date from different eras — you can find early iterations from the 20th Century and a newer version made as recently as the 20th Century, both of which have proven very popular over the years. Finding an appealing accessory such as this — no matter the origin — is easy, but Christian Dior, Marc Bohan and Christian Dior Haute Couture each produced a popular version that is worth a look. When shopping for these accessories, you’ll find that there are less available pieces for men or unisex today than there are for women.

How Much is a Dior 1989?

On average, a dior 1989 on 1stDibs sells for $499, while they’re typically $73 on the low end and $28,382 for the highest priced versions of this item.

Christian Dior for sale on 1stDibs

When Christian Dior launched his couture house, in 1946, he wanted nothing less than to make “an elegant woman more beautiful and a beautiful woman more elegant.” He succeeded, and in doing so the visionary designer altered the landscape of 20th century fashion. Vintage Dior bags, shoes, evening dresses, shirts and other garments and accessories are known today for their feminine and sophisticated sensibility.

Dior was born in Granville, on the Normandy coast, in 1905. His prosperous haute bourgeois parents wanted him to become a diplomat despite his interest in art and architecture. However, they agreed to bankroll an art gallery, which Dior opened in 1928 in Paris with a friend.

This was the start of Dior’s rise in the city’s creative milieu, where he befriended Pablo Picasso and Jean Cocteau. After seven years as an art dealer, Dior retrained as a fashion illustrator, eventually landing a job as a fashion designer for Robert Piguet, and in 1941, following a year of military service, he joined the house of Lucien Lelong. Just five years later, with the backing of industrialist Marcel Boussac, the ascendant Dior established his own fashion house, at 30 avenue Montaigne in Paris.

Just two years after the end of World War II, the fashion crowd and the moribund haute couture industry were yearning, comme tout Paris, for security and prosperity, desperate to discard the drab, sexless, utilitarian garb imposed by wartime deprivation. They needed to dream anew.

And Dior delivered: He designed a collection for a bright, optimistic future. “It’s quite a revolution, dear Christian!” exclaimed Carmel Snow, the prescient American editor-in-chief of Harper’s Bazaar, famously proclaiming, “Your dresses have such a new look.” The press ran with the description, christening Dior’s debut Spring/Summer haute couture collection the New Look. “God help those who bought before they saw Dior,” said Snow. “This changes everything.”

Dior’s collection definitively declared that opulence, luxury and femininity were in. His skirts could have 40-meter-circumference hems, and outfits could weigh up to 60 pounds. They were cut and shaped like architecture, on strong foundations that molded women and “freed them from nature,” Dior said. Rather than rationing, his ladies wanted reams of fabric and 19-inch waists enforced by wire corsets, and the fashion world concurred. The debut got a standing ovation.

In the subsequent decade, Paris ruled as the undisputed fashion capital of the world, and Christian Dior reigned as its king. With the luxuriously full skirts of his New Look, suits and his drop-dead gorgeous couture dresses and ball gowns worthy of any princess, Dior gave women the gift of glamour they’d lost in the miserable years of war.

On 1stDibs, find an exquisite range of vintage Christian Dior clothing, jewelry, handbags and other items.

    Yes, Dior is a luxury brand.

    Legendary French designer Christian Dior launched his haute couture house in 1946. He would go on to alter the landscape of 20th century fashion. Vintage Dior bags, shoes, evening dresses, shirts and other garments and accessories are known today for their feminine and sophisticated sensibility.

    A luxury brand is typically recognized for its heritage and its dedication to uncompromising quality standards (luxury brands are synonymous with a history of excellence in service and craftsmanship). Exclusivity plays an enormous role with respect to luxury brands, and while all luxury fashion brands are not necessarily haute couture houses, what could be more exclusive than a dress that has been custom-fitted and constructed by hand from start to finish?

    Only a select group of fashion houses are legally permitted to operate with the haute couture title, and Dior, a universally revered luxury brand, is one of them.

    Christian Dior was influenced by his years working as an art dealer and fashion illustrator before finally opening a fashion house of his own. He was initially interested in art and architecture. Prior to his work in fashion design, Dior ran an art gallery with a friend, where he showed the work of Max Ernst, Picasso, Joan Miró and others. In 1946, Dior opened his fashion house and strove to deliver bright fashions for a new era, discarding the sexless utilitarian garbs that had been forced upon people during the war. Three very talented women who worked in Dior’s studio — Madame Raymonde Zehnacker, Marguerite Carré and Mitzah Bricard — are also said to have inspired him.

    To tell a vintage Dior, check to see if the bag has a date code tag inside. Dior introduced its date coding system in the late 1990s, so if your bag lacks a date code, it is possibly vintage. Earlier-dated bags will have their codes in XX-YYYY. The first and third "Y" characters indicate the month of production, and the second and fourth correspond to the production year. For example, 0917 would indicate a production date of January 1997. On more recent bags, the date code will be in an XX-XX-YYYY format, but you can still find the date in the last four characters using the same method. If your bag is at least 20 years old, it is vintage. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of Dior bags.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022
    You can wear a Dior Mitzah in many ways. Wrap the long, narrow strip of fabric around your neck and tie it in a bow like a scarf, or coil it around the handles of your Dior handbag. The dimensions of the scarf also allow it to function as a headband or a wrist wrap. Shop a large selection of Dior scarves on 1stDibs.

    As of 2021, Dior eyewear is manufactured by Thélios, an Italian company owned by Dior’s parent company LVMH Moët Hennessy – Louis Vuitton.

    The location of manufacture for Dior products varies depending on the product. For example, Dior’s leather goods are made in Italy, their timepieces are crafted in Switzerland, and jeans are produced in Japan. For information on specific products, consult the brand’s website. Find a collection of vintage and contemporary Dior clothing and accessories on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    The last four digits on a Lady Dior date code indicate the month and year. The first and third digits represent the month, while the second and fourth digits represent the year. For example, if your date code ends with 1128, that would mean the time of manufacture was December 2018. This is the same code system used by Louis Vuitton.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 19, 2024
    Yes, Christian Dior and Dior are the same. The French couturier Christian Dior founded his eponymous house in 1946. The brand is commonly known as simply Dior.

    After seven years as an art dealer in Paris, the Granville-born Dior retrained as a fashion illustrator, eventually landing a job as a fashion designer for Robert Piguet, and in 1941, following a year of military service, he joined the house of Lucien Lelong. Just five years later, with the backing of industrialist Marcel Boussac, the ascendant Dior established his own fashion house, at 30 avenue Montaigne in Paris.

    Dior's New Look — the silhouette introduced by the couturier with his first namesake collection in 1947 — featured gowns characterized by soft, rounded shoulders; a prominent bust; waspish waistlines; and long, voluminous skirts. Dior’s work definitively declared that opulence was in, and his return to a “pretty,” highly feminized style was a direct reaction to years of wartime austerity.
