I initially got the beige Caro but exchanged for the Lady Dior instead, here is the beige in sunlight and also compared to white in store lighting!
I just purchased my first Caro today! All the colors were amazing, but I kept reaching for the gray in medium.Hope I made the right choice!
I even got the holiday packaging which made it even more special!
Thanks for letting me share!

Maybe call customer service - they could possibly locate one for you which you might be able to reserve over the phone and have posted to you later(and hence beat the price increase )?
It's available in the medium size on the UK website, stock will come from France, but if you're keen on the small size definitely get in touch with Customer Service https://www.dior.com/en_gb/products...r-caro-bag-warm-taupe-supple-cannage-calfskin
I love the strap !I decided to keep the strap I wrote earlier about anyway. It is just way too cute with the bag to be returned.
I took a mod shot while I was shopping today. It is short, yes, but the length is sort of growing on me since I also have the strap the bag came with. What do you think..?

@nycgirl79 , I was told the prevalence of GHW is bc MGC prefers it to SHW or RHW, which makes it difficult for some of us

Thank you for this info, 880! I so appreciate all of your posts - you are an enormous asset to this community!
So nice of MGC to impose her preferences on the rest of us!
I personally am not a fan of gold tones, and I don’t think it looks great with my coloring, but I recognize that it looks beautiful on many bags, and individuals. That being said, if I were the creative director of a massive fashion house, I wouldn’t limit hardware colors to my own personal preferences. I just find it arrogant, and poor decision making, to exclude the desires of so many (potential) customers. I understand wanting to maintain the integrity of the brand/aesthetic design, but offering all (or most) bags with such standard options as SHW and RHW seems like a no-brainer, and win all around!
I’ll get off of my soapbox now.

I wonder if you've tried on or seen any of the bags in person recently to see what you think of the recent GHW? A lot of my bags seem to come in a beautiful subtle champagne gold tone so it's a cooler tone than the regular yellow gold colour
my own Caro won't help to show this because it came with the antique gold hardware and although I'd have preferred champagne gold or silver, it's still a nice contrast. I did notice there are more antique silver and silver hardware appearing in the newer bags compared to when I got mine last year in the London store in November so you never know, the customer purchase numbers might have convinced her to introduce more variety to hardware colours I wonder if you've tried on or seen any of the bags in person recently to see what you think of the recent GHW?

I really hope that’s the case! It just seems like across the board (clothing, accessories, etc.), gold/brass tone hardware is the default, and it’s always irked me. I’m hoping that what you’ve observed with more hardware options at Dior becomes a reality amongst all designers!
When shopping for my LD, I did try on a black w champagne hardware, and while I much preferred it to the “standard” gold, it was still not exactly what I was looking for. I do love the ruthenium, and gunmetals, though I know a lot of people find them more trendy/edgy, and less classic.
