Dior Caro!

He is a dream! I truly love him to the moon and back. I got 6. 3 small, 2 medium & a large. The large is the macro which isn't in yet, 3 small come tomorrow (I got the acid green (neon yellow), nude pink & red), medium come Friday (taupe & silver).

It's the bag that fits my lifestyle best right now! I do love Chanel but selection/ color/ quality is so spotty that it's exhausting finding what I want. LV I truly love their RTW but just can't seem to ever enjoy carrying the bags. Hermes also love but sometimes I dig me a little fancy

Wow! I love your choices. What a gorgeous bag! Your SA really is a keeper! I'd love to hear your thoughts on the warm taupe color, since I haven't been able to see it in person. Sometimes it looks like a light mocha color and other times it looks almost gray with a purple undertone. So hard to tell from pics!

Hi all! Sharing some photos I took of the Medium Gray and Taupe, both are so so beautiful. I feel the Taupe shows up differently in white lighting and it was more mid toned nudish pink to me. The photos here are not fully accurate as it looks darker than irl. I had a difficult time choosing between the two, but in the end the Gray won over my heart!

Thank you for all the pictures!! I already have the grey in large, so taupe was an easy choice. But if I didn't already have it, grey with that gold hardware is just TDF!

Congratulations!
Both the Gray and Taupe are so beautiful and ladylike, in my opinion.
I would not be able to decide in a day!

I went through THREE ROUNDS of buying up Chanel 19's, each time trying SO HARD to love them. But no. It just never took. Every time I wear one of my Caro (I have 3 large already) I just love to stare at it and feel the leather. It's such an amazing bag (for me). One big thing about Dior is that hype typically doesn't play a role in exclusivity/ accessibility (unless it's the Dior Jordan's or something) so if you want something, you can get it. In that vein, I applaud Dior for being able to keep up with the bigger houses whose sales I believe are augmented substantially by the aforementioned.

I had the feeling that was the case. I’ve had 5 19s and sold all of them pretty quickly, only to try it again each time. It’s a casual bag and in theory should have been perfect but it just never convinced me. The Caro (and Dior in general) just feel a lot more substantial and versatile. And while I understand many refrain from purchasing Dior fearing the bags will end up at the outlet, I actually prefer not seeing them around everywhere I go. To me it doesn’t matter if the Caro will be discontinued at some point as it has very classic elements and I see it working for me for many years to come. The size variety and availability are a big plus.

Oh @TraceySH

the bright colours are tempting

I don't care when the bag is discontinued. If I like her, I carry her with pleasure.
I see too many Chanel around and I like Chanel 19 remotely

ITA with your last sentiment and have thought of that too. It has all the classic dior elements regardless of it’s discontinued. Like the Miss Dior!

The brights are what hooked me with the small. I normally would avoid that size but... I couldn’t

Thank you so much for posting pics, and sharing your input on the new taupe color. I think I need one. I am torn between black and taupe. Black has a perfect edgy look especially with a separate canvas strap. And the taupe looks perfect for a warmer weather, and it's just a really pretty color.

I had a similar experience. I had a C19 in the small size. It was a love at first sight. But after using it a few times, I knew it wasn't for me. It just didn't look "right" on me, and I didn't like the heavy chains. Caro was a love at first sight, too. I hope it will work out (I have a feeling it will!).

Agree with you! Actually, both colors are versatile and would match with canvas straps too. I saw this reviewer swap out the strap of what looks to be Taupe caro:
