I am hoarding just in case they discontinue
I don't think the Caro is going anywhere. I think Dior finally designed their perfect flap bag, and it wouldn't make sense to discontinue it. It no longer looks like a copy of the Chanel Classic Flap.I am hoarding just in case they discontinue
I am SO hoping you're right. And I agree, the finally designed their perfect flap bag. Well put. It would be really nonsensical to discontinue BUT brands do the strangest things sometimes. As one poster stated above though, even IF they did, this bag has such classic Dior elements that it will be timeless. So, at least there's that!
Love this bag! I've been out of the Dior loop for a bit. I had to stay away cause I was buying more bags than I could carry. HA! What does this beauty retail for and what does it compare to in size? Love your collection!
Hi there! I am clearly back on the Dior train pretty big time with this one. SO. Sizes. Large is comparable to Chanel 226 reissue or new medium boy, except with a back pocket. Likewise, the medium is comparable to an old medium boy except for the back pocket, but larger than a Chanel m/l classic. A tiny bit less capacity than a small Chanel 19 tho. Not much. Small Caro is exactly Chanel mini but with a back pocket that holds a large phone. Retail 3800/4300/4700. Hope that helps!!
Hello!! I love the versatility of this bag. Would the medium look ok handheld as a clutch for evenings? Or is small better? I want to be able to use for all occasions. I’ve never purchased a bag at this price point and worried about making a bad decision - there’s no stores near me to try them thanks!
Yes the raspberry is the smallest size! I am carrying taupe medium now & definitely prefer the large. Medium is fine for evening!
Medium has the most versatility. Small is small for sure, and for a little more money the medium is small enough for evening (maybe as a clutch if you don’t fill it) but large enough for small everyday bag!
Here’s the small on me …. I am 5’9” for reference. 
Hi everyone,
I'm thinking about purchasing an evening bag for my wedding anniversary and would like your advice...
I hesitate between the black medium Caro and the black medium YSL Envelope. In terms of quality and durability, is one better than the other?

I think you should store it standing, stuffed with the paper that came inside of it, with the chain detached and stored separately so it doesn't press into the bag. If you store it this way, then only the bottom quilts will flatten a bit over time, and is how the bag is stored at the boutique anyway. If you store it laying down, then the back quilts may flatten a bit. If you're okay with that, then I guess storing it that way is fine.
