Dior Caro!

[Kkeely30]

Hello, I’m obsessed with this Dior Caro in Latte. But I hesitate to purchase my first Dior bag in a white. How do Dior bags fare with color transfer? Should I instead pick a “safer” first Dior Caro? Thank you!

All white bags are susceptible to colour transfer, although with proper wear and care, it can be avoided. I would be more worried about getting it dirty. Parts which are handled a lot by the fingers, such as the bottom of the flap, may start showing dirt over time. It can be cleaned off, but it means that the bag is not as care-free as other darker colours.

I think you should get it now. In January, there will be a price increase on some lines, and the Caro may be one of them. The price increase may make whatever you will save by buying in Italy (if your trip plans aren't disrupted by COVID) not as significant. As well, the Cloud Blue may not be available at the boutique in Italy that you will be visiting.

I do suggest getting the Cloud Blue, because you will be thinking about it even if you get the black.

Thanks @averagejoe you always give great advice !

Thank you! I suppose I could use extra care and wipe it after use to avoid it showing dirt sooner than it should. I do try to be extra careful when using my better bags.

Ughhh guyssss helpppp I’ve now been bitten by the Caro bug too

i’ve been *really* bad with bag buying in 2020…but I started falling in love with Caro... I also got a *much* larger than expected end of year bonus which leaves more than enough money to both reach our saving goals and have some extra fun money left over.

my dilemma is a two-fold. I *think* we are going to Italy in May for a friend’s wedding - no flights purchased yet and of course Covid variants are always looming threateningly. So on the one hand I know I could save by waiting and buying there, if we go. But do we think there’s a looming price increase on the horizon, and then if our trip doesn’t go through I’m out of more money by waiting ?

Also, my heart is yearning for the cloud blue color (I’m just obsessed with that shade of grey-ish blue). I already have the Celine teen 16 in light blue so I really don’t *need* it, and logically I’m thinking my collection is missing a smaller day-to-night black bag (my only black bag is the LV pochette Métis which I personally don’t think works as an evening bag). But of course … the heart wants what the heart wants, sigh. And I’m worried that the cloud blue version might be gone by May, and of course I know the black will always be available as long as the bag isn’t discontinued.

Soo sorry for the long post, but any advice? Should I buy the cloud blue now? Wait, and get the black? Anyone who has the cloud blue can you share photos/overall thoughts on how you’ve ended up using the bag?

I really like the cloud blue!

Hi, may I know if anyone has the caro in normal cannage in rose des vents? Is it more nude or pink undertone? My local store doesn't have it but I've seen it in the vanity case. In the website, the rose des vents in caro and vanity looks slightly different.

Thank you

I do, in size small. Here are some photos my SA took (also posted in previous pages). I think the vanity has more of a nude undertone than the Caro.

Thank you @Anysia @Thaotran . My SA seems not too sure about lamb skin or calfskin too . It (the macro cannage )feels so much softer I thought it’s lamb skin. Now I m more convinced to have one ！

All of the leather Caro bags currently available on the Dior website are in calfskin, whether with cannage or macro-cannage except for a metallic pink gradient bag which is the only lambskin bag. Even the Caro accessories are in calfskin

Getting my Caro bag from UPS was a nightmarish process that almost took the joy out of finally getting the bag. Where I live UPS doesn't even try to deliver (there was someone home at all times and no sign of UPS) and because I had chosen and paid extra for express delivery, there was no way to have the bag delivered to a near-by UPS access point either. I had to call UPS three times and the delivery was delayed by multiple days.

That was me earlier this week. I have UPS My Choice which alerts me with a time frame for the day of delivery. I was surprised they showed up on the earlier end and I missed it by 10 minutes. On the next attempt, it was stated 1:15-5:15 PM and they showed up an hour beforehand! Fortunately, I was home and I received my bag in time for Christmas. The holidays come and go so fast, it will be nice to have something to look forward to.

Woohoo she finally arrived! Ugh this Christmas packaging is to die for

Unfortunately the cloud blue color didn’t quite make my heart sing the way I hoped it would. I still love the Caro bag itself, so I think I’ll end up returning this one and getting the small black instead. If I didn’t already have a white Chanel mini and a blue Celine I’d definitely keep her!

Anyone know if you order in this post-Christmas-pre-new years in between times if they still grace you with the beautiful packaging ? hehe

The bag is lovely, I was looking for the cloud blue colour but my usual store sold out of the colour and I got the grey instead. If it's not the colour for you, then definitely get one that you really like as for post-Christmas/pre-New Year packaging, watch this space. I've got a couple of orders expected to arrive in the next couple of days so I can tell you soon hopefully
