Identify this Dior

#1,687
Hello All! I figured this was probably the most appropriate of all the places to ask. I know it's authentic. I found this at a local vintage store and didn't know if anyone knew if this particular monogram pattern had a name. I am familiar with the classic oblique and the honeycomb, but not this one. It's kind of mid-century retro and it has the old CD font on the zipper pull. I figure it must have been a GWP (gift with purchase) and probably a basic cosmetic case, but I do love the pattern and was hoping it had a name. Thank you!

Hello Dior Experts I found a beautiful exotic Dior Clutch, the seller expects it to be from the 1960/70‘s. She told me that it’s made from Snake Skin, but I assume it is Lizard. What do you think? Would be so great if anyone knows more about it thank you so much!

Sorry I don't know which years these items are from.

The first item cannot be from 1949-ish because the Dior Cannage pattern wasn't adopted as a brand symbol initially, aside from the caning on the chairs that Christian Dior admired and included in his Maison. It wasn't till much later that it happened, perhaps even in the late 1980s to early 1990s.

The second item may be lizard or lizard-embossed.

Hi!
I remember seeing caramel small Lady Dior on social media but don’t remember color name or season.
I would appreciate any lead.
I am eyeing the small on the right of this photo.
Photo credit to instagram poster.
Thank you!
