Dior Caro!

[moi.shopaholic.dory]

@sandycps Yes I got the green macro and velvet blue, both are medium and I’m your height I avoid the normal cannage because I don’t like it much in the Caro, especially in medium size.

wow. thanks for assuring me. I just went to the website and saw a grey with silver/black hardware, it look nice tooo... OH DEAR Yea now I feel the normal cannage look better on the small

Both look great on you, with your coloring and frame. I am very partial to blue and don't have much green in my wardrobe - however in this case, I'd say the green is more unique and you'd be less likely to see it again. Ultimately though which goes better with your wardrobe? And which makes your heart flutter? Don't think there is a bad option here, and I'm typically not a fan of green!

Thanks for the compliment! I do have one green in my wardrobe and that was my first chanel bag. The colour just lure me into the boutique. And now i have the same attraction that lure me to purchase my first dior bag. Come to think of it, maybe I should settle for the green. My initial visit was to get a grey or blue caro bag since I do not have any of these colour in my bags collection.

@sandycps I actually like the green macro for you. The blue with normal cannage looks bigger on your frame based on the pic you posted. However, blue, grey or green all work very well. I can see why you're torn.

I got the belt caro in the gray color and is so beautiful!!! Also, the leather feels really sturdy. I will probably put an extension on the back to also wear crossbody. Love it! This one seems to have the flap a bit crooked. It was the display one. I ordered a new one. It fits my phone, card case, car keys with fob and sanitizer. I love wocs and this one has a good depth to it. So this is it!

finally make a trip to the boutique and was spoilt for choice. Love love love the green macro but it only comes in medium. The medium look alittle too big on my small frame. im not sure love the blue with hint of grey.. any thoughts?View attachment 5260063View attachment 5260064

Sorry to confuse you... I've been a big fan of the Caro in green but I love the blue grey medium on you! I don't think it looks too big on your frame at all.

I love the blue one with classic quilting.☺️ Is this cloud blue? I just personally feel if it were me, I’d get more use out of it. I’m petite too like you! But I prefer the small size over medium as that fits enough for me!☺️

i just saw these on the website and Dior is really coming for the Chanel WoC with this one, holy smokes. It‘s literally half the price of a WoC. Sure, it doesn‘t have the useless back pocket or the zippered compartments but it‘s versatile with the belt loop.

i really wonder if people who were outpriced by Chanel are going to gravitate more and more towards the Caro line of bags now.

I am sure people are gravitating towards Caro and Dior now more. My Dior boutique has already confirmed it, and I know a few people who have purchased Caros in the past month including myself. Although I have been focused on Dior already the last few years, I got back to Chanel this year and bought a few of their newer bags to add to my collection… 19s, coco handles, pearl crush, and Trendy mainly. I had been focusing on Dior until this year but now with the crazy insane $2000 price increase of the Chanel classic flap these last few months alone plus the nearing $5k minimum for a mini or seasonal flap not to mention the quality issues (my 21k 19 has been in repair for about 4 months now), I am more reluctant to buy a classic flap and definitely slowing down my Chanel purchases to just enjoy what I already have. Dior bags seem like a bargain these days and are so meticulously made… just watching their videos of their bag productions amaze me.

This is my first Dior bag. I never looked into them because their price point was relatively high and at the “same” price or closer, I could get a seasonal Chanel or maybe another piece around the same price. I would favor Chanel over Dior. Here’s my logic now, Chanel prices are not aligned with the quality of the bags they are offering. They are inflating their prices maybe based (And I say maybe, because this is my subjective opinion) on a “fabricated” scarcity, labor costs, whatever they want to name it. My issue is: if you will charge that much for a freaking bag and if you think your branding is that powerful to support the price increases, then you better offer a top notch freaking leather bag, man. You will have to seriously compete with Hermès craftsmanship now to uphold your value. That being said, I think some things are possibly happening in that luxury context: 1- people are priced out of Chanel and searching for luxury alternatives 2- people are fed up of their gimmicks and if they will pay that much they would rather play Hermès games 3- they just don’t care and they will continue enabling Chanel to do what they want to do and keep buying their bags. I know inflation is real and cultural and financial aspects will drastically impact the market but what I don’t get is that Chanel is aggressively doing price increases and whatever the heck their strategy is don’t align with my life goals anymore. Do they care? Probably not. Unless, people develop an unified perspective expressing to Chanel that what they are doing doesn’t sit well with the audience anymore and people will put a stop on their purchases. Doesn’t matter how much we evolve as humans, offer and demand will always dictate the flows of the market. We are the ones influencing the “demand” so we do have the power to influence the market. The question is: do we want to? Long post. Sorry Bottom line: back to the point of this thread I love my Caro bag!!!!

I am so pleased with the Dior bags in my collection. I have a medium Lady Dior and a My Lady Dior. Both are stunning bags. The quality is outstanding. Looking at a Caro for my next purchase but can't decide which size. Maybe a WOC. Dior's customer service is fabulous and I never feel like a second class citizen because I haven't spent a million bucks.

Chanel used to represent (to me anyway) sophistication, luxury, and amazing quality. But as we all know the quality has deteriorated, and the prices have skyrocketed. IMHO Chanel has been phoning in their collections for a few seasons now. Everything seems to be recycled, with the exception of the 19, which looks like a giant pillow to me.

Sorry to confuse you... I've been a big fan of the Caro in green but I love the blue grey medium on you! I don't think it looks too big on your frame at all.

Thanks for your feedback! How i wished the green comes in normal quilt. Definitely love the green too.

I'm not sure what type of blue that was as my SA just brought out literally most of the colorways that was available in store. I was more confused on which type of Caro I wanted at that point of time. Yes, i do agree that small is nice but the green comes in medium. Oh well, i probably bring my boy chanel down next monday to do a comparison. If green Caro is the same size as my boy, i probably get that Hope i dont changed my mind, anything can happen *woe of woman*

Hi ladies! I’ve been looking at get a caro lately and wanted your feedback on its ease of use. One concern I have is that it’s very boy bag ish in design with the front flap that goes all the way down. Is it pretty easy to get in and out of? Although I love my boy bags, sometimes I find them a tad fussy due to the long front flap. Thank you for any insight you can provide
