Dior Caro!

[moi.shopaholic.dory]

hey guys… i did asked you guys for opinion on my first caro. I got it a week later but decided to keep it in the box till Christmas to unbox and here she is!!
there was a little drama over what colour to choose from macro green to calfskin blue grey or caramel. The colours are soooooo confusing followed by the size which ultimately i decide to go for medium.
In summary, I had decided to purchase the medium caramel as it was the from the new season. My SA brought the bag to box and while i was at the waiting area……. my eyes fell on the grey gradient caro. And that moment, I grab the bag on display and got a SA to notify my SA from tying the ribbon on the box

And here she is…. with a guitar strap I got during sale last month.

Yes indeed. It's perfect! Is blue gradient in lambskin too?

Yes it is in lambskin. They told me that they can refresh the color etc. in case the lambskin is used i. e. the color is fading. This service costs around CHF 250. They send the bag to Paris and will be restored there.

Oh wow! I didn't know about this, sounds really cooool Honestly, i didn't realize it was lambskin till i unboxed it after Christmas. The colour simply got me.
For the colour refresh, how do we determine that it needs to be restored? Will the SA be able to identify when we send it for maintenance? Pardon me as this is my first Dior bag.

Lambskin is a bit more fragile. You see the signs of wearing where it rubs against e. g. clothes. I assume you have to do it in ca. 3 - 5 years when you wear it almost every day.
The SA will be for sure be able to identify it. I wouldn't restore it too early.
We should enjoy our bags and it is normal to see signs of wearing the bag

Congrats! Funny how that worked out. You were choosing between two initially, decided on another and went home with a completely different one. Dior has too many good options, it's easy for us to get confused. You really can't go wrong with any of them.

YES! I know right. It's such a difficult choice but the gradient grey DEFINITELY got my heart

Green!

Yea, that was my first choice but my SA said some stuffs that it MIGHT get wrinkled as times goes by but well it's still up for speculation since it's a new method by Dior. Anyway I walked away with a gradient grey which i !

Love their gradient colours, this is beautiful! I really like the contrast to the embroidered guitar strap too

I ordered a houndstooth strap for my Caro as a Christmas present for me, but it just doesn't work at all. I am very very short but the strap is way too short even for me crossbody and the sharp edge of the strap digs into my neck painfully. It also won't stay on my shoulder either since it is too wide for my shoulder. The design of the strap baffles me, how on earth are they supposed to work? I'm sad it didn't work, I don't like the other straps with very loud logos that much.

I got the Medium sized Dior Caro in taupe today. I’m so thrilled! It’s gorgeous in person (sorry the lighting doesn’t do it justice). It has a bit of a beige tone with a hint of light purple. But it’s a very well made bag with a lot of versatility. I’m so excited to wear it out soon!

My small black Caro arrived today! Love her think this one will be a winner for me since there has definitely been a “little black bag” hole in my closet for going out. I also decided to get the tundra green LD cardholder too

nice WFH lunch break surprise to make the easing into January a little easier! Just want to stare at the holiday packaging all day

All these beautiful caros!!! I’m dying to get one but I am so confused. I’ve been saving up money for the last two years for a chanel boy bag , but the prices just keep going up and up.
I’ve recently been crushing on the caro as well and thinking I’ll just bite the bullet and get it instead of Chanel.
2 questions-
do you think the caro will also be discontinued like other Dior bags after 4/5 years? Or is it a classic here to stay?
Can the caro be dressed down? I’m a mom of 3 boys and casual is more my style ( hence the boy bag)

tia!!!
