Condition
The House of Dior is an enduring icon of French haute couture. When the talented Marc Bohan took over as head designer in 1960, he continued the Dior tradition of elegant, timeless design. This beautiful three-piece suit is a perfect example of his amazing work. This highly sought after suit is in excellent condition for its age. Perhaps a loose thread or two but nothing to detract from its amazing presentation. Wait until you see the hand finishing on the inside....absolutely wonderful work. The suit has been dry cleaned and is ready to wear. Please drop us a line if your require additional information about this listing.
