Having inherited a passion for flowers from my mother, I especially enjoyed the company of plants and gardeners, Christian Dior confided in his memoirs. Adorned with designs of lily of the valley, the couturier's lucky charm, the New Lily of the Valley line is dedicated to tableware enriched with new creations – like placemats, baskets, frames and boxes – decorated with sprigs of the flower.
From his early childhood spent roaming the Eden like garden of his family home in Granville, tended by his mother, Christian Dior cultivated a passion for the lily of the valley. This delicate flower became one of his good luck charms, worn in his buttonhole or sewn into the hems of his haute couture designs.
