Dior by Galliano Montaigne 1947 License Plate "Cadillac" Leather Handbag SS2001

Retail Price: $1500 (2001)
Country of Origin: France

A truly archival and museum-worthy piece from John Galliano’s early 2000s era at Dior. This 2001 “License Plate” Cadillac bag is part of the hyper-limited Montaigne 1947 series — a conceptual fusion of American pop nostalgia and haute couture.

Additional Information: 

• Limited Production: Released in very small numbers in 2001, in white and black editions, this is currently the only known piece of its kind available on the market.
• Discontinued: No longer in production — nearly impossible to find

There are some visible leather scuffs and one missing letter on the metal license plate detail, which contribute to its history . Professional leather restoration and replacement of the missing letter can be arranged upon request, though restoration may affect its vintage authenticity.

Authentication: Available upon request or via third-party platforms like Entrupy / Real Authentication.
