I’ve seen the denim blue in person and it is a gorgeous color. But I ultimately went for the fard color since I have a chanel boy that is very similar to the Dior denim blue.
Dior fard color?

I wish I could buy like 5 of them..... LoL. Thank you for posting the picture..... gorgeous. Fard color is amazing. I'm new to posting things here, I don't know how to maneuver these boards yet. I even love the greyish color too. Im a huge sucker for patent too.
I recently got the Montaigne 30 in blush. I don't have a great pic of just the bag to share at the moment, but here it is in a pic, so you can somewhat see the difference vs. Fard
I will say that the 'blush' on the Montaigne is not as deep / rich of a color as the Fard - if that makes sense. When I was getting MyLady Dior last yr, it was btwn the grey and Fard. I went with the grey, simply b/c I already had so many nudes in my collection... But I kind of regretted no getting the Fard, so I got the the Montaigne in blush vs. the oblique last month. PS. the Montaigne looks much different in person than it is depicted on Dior's site
But I
the Fard color still. It's truly breathtaking on the Lady Dior!

I do like the fard color, but I wish it was just a little more richer in color. But nonetheless, i still like it.

Does anyone know if the large Lady Dior is regularly offered in this color? It seems to be a relatively common color for the ABCDiors but I hadn't seen a large in blush/fard until this fall. I've been wanting one ever since I first saw it, so if it might be hard to find later on I think I'm going to go ahead and get it while I still can. Otherwise, some of those blue gradient bags from Summer 2021 are calling my name . . . 
i would get it instead of waiting since prices have been going up.

May I ask you if you (ofcourse you do LOL) know the difference between the color fard and rose des vents? I purchased a lady Dior in fard this year but today found an old business card from 2 years where a Dior SA wrote info on a rose des vents lady Dior on it. I am googling on the rose des vents color but only get patent leather pictures. It drives me crazy trying to figure out the difference between the two colors and if I should have gotten/asked for the rose des vents color. But I never saw it in the boutique ( I think). Maybe it’s not being made anymore? I have no idea. They probably look quite similar but do you have a preference for one of the colors? I hope you don’t mind me asking you, but I was googling on the fard color purseforum, saw your reply and in my book you are the authority on Dior EVERYTHING LOL. Thank you so much in advance for your response

Aww thanks! Nah I'm not an authority. Actually Dior has expanded its product range so much recently that I'm losing count of all the colours!May I ask you if you (ofcourse you do LOL) know the difference between the color fard and rose des vents?

The two colours (Fard and Rose des Vents) look so similar that they can easily be mistaken for the same colour! It looks like Rose des Vents is a bit lighter, almost like the former nude colour:
Rose des Vents:
Fard:
Because they are so similar, I have no preference for either.
Hello! I'm new to Dior and considering the MyABCDior in Blush/Fard as my push present with baby #2. I know this is a Dior thread so opinions may lean towards Dior but I'd be interested in anyone's thoughts! https://www.dior.com/en_us/products...dy-dior-my-abcdior-bag-blush-cannage-lambskin
Below is my current collection:
So that brings me to the MyABCDior in Blush/Fard! Here are some rambling thoughts:
Below is my current collection:
- Chanel Black Rectangular Mini Classic Flap, SHW
- Celine Black Micro Luggage
- Celine Clay Phantom Luggage
- Celine Navy Mini Belt Bag
- Celine Black Medium Classic Bag
- YSL Navy Small Lou Lou, GHW
- YSL Dark Beige Uptown Pouch, GHW
- YSL Black Small Kate Bag, GHW
- Givenchy Antigona Black Small in Smooth Leather
So that brings me to the MyABCDior in Blush/Fard! Here are some rambling thoughts:
- This color is the best blush/nude I've seen from any brand and it would really be the only color I'd consider getting the Lady Dior in, I don't own any bags even remotely close to this color.
- It would be my first and only Dior bag, the ability to personalize with the charms drew me in. I'm a sucker for being able to put my name/initials on it!
- I don't love how the strap attaches to one side in the front and the opposite side in the back. I don't have an issue hand carrying it but its one small detail that I've never been a big fan of and strayed away from in my current bags.
- One of my favorite things about my Celine bags is people don't know they're luxury unless you KNOW bags. I kind of like how that is the same for the Lady Dior, compared to Chanel where everyone knows when they see a Classic Flap that it's Chanel.
- Should I try to get a Chanel Black Rectangular Mini Classic Flap in GHW from the boutique instead even though it may literally take forever and I still might fail? Part of me is afraid I'm "substituting in" the Lady Dior because I don't want to spend the money on a Medium Classic Flap and its dang near impossible to get a mini right now without going pre-loved.
- I've heard amazing things about Dior service and in a non-pandemic world would love to experience it in the boutique (closest being in Chicago, so I'd have to fly there). However with the baby arriving soon and Covid still a thing, I'd likely have to purchase it online. Part of me just wants to be able to buy it in store though and have that memory/experience attached to the bag. Am I missing out if I buy the bag online? I could wait until later in the year and make a quick trip to Chicago post-baby to buy the bag, but since I'm only interested in Blush/Fard... am I risking it not being available by waiting?
- Is the $4,700 price tag worth it for the Lady Dior? I'm used to spending in the $3s for Celine and $1-2s for YSL. I know Chanel is its own thing with pricing but I go back and forth if I should ask for a Lady Dior as my push present, when I could get both the YSL Kate and Givenchy Antigona in total for less (though it wouldn't feel as special for some reason compared to the Lady Dior).
Based on your collections, you have quite a few dark color bags. Personally, I would get the fard color as it is such a nice color that you don’t see from other designers. It would be different from what you already have and would be a nice addition to your collection.
I have the small size lady dior in the color fard, and my heart still skips a beat when I take it out.
Even with the price increases that has been happening, I think Dior price range is still acceptable compare to Chanel. Not quite a big fan of other Dior bags, but the Lady Dior is such a classic. I have Lady dior in medium, small and mini.
Good luck deciding.

my vote is for Dior too .. i have both dior and chanels in my collection and absolutely love Dior quality.
lady dior is a stunning bag more stunning than mini rectangle in my opinion !

My vote is for the LD. In response to your points:
1. Fard is a beautiful neutral color. It does not duplicate anything else in your collection.
2. None of your other options allow for personalization. Being able to personalize it, elevates the whole concept of push presents, IMO.
3. Though you're not a fan of how the strap attaches (one in the front and one in the back,) I saw a YouTuber mention how the strap placement helped the handles stay up when being carried that way. Not sure if that matters to you, but I felt so englightened when I saw that. lol
4. LD is definitely not played out like Chanel CF or LV neverfull.
5. Sounds like you really want a Mini Rectangle black ghw. Somehow, I don't think they're that difficult to get from the boutique? Granted, it may take a lot of effort and/or right time, right place kind of thing but I think they're attainable.
6. The boutique experience is definitely a good one, particularly if you click with the right SA. Fard is a classic colour. I think the boutique will have it, if not, they can send one to you from another boutique. Also, waiting to go to the boutique will give you more time to think about your options.
7. Price is worth what you think it is. I tend to agree that the YSL Kate and Givenchy Antigona do not feel as special for a push present.
1) Seems like you should buy it.
2) Yes, the personalization is really nice.
3) It keeps the handles upright and the bag not hang weirdly from your body. They never added extra D-rings to the bag to attach the strap to the sides instead because the D-rings would make the bag look less elegant. Hand-carrying the bag is the best way to wear it, in my opinion.
4) You can even go for the Lady Dior with the leather-covered or enameled charms to tone them down even more if you want the bag to look more discreet.
5) If you feel like getting the Lady Dior is "settling", then maybe you shouldn't get it because you will always still want the Mini Classic Flap, and may still buy it if you end up seeing it restocked at the boutique. If this happens, then you may regret getting the Lady Dior.
6) I think you will be missing the service if you buy online, and this goes for every brand, not just Dior. You should at least try on the bag you're going to buy, and inspect it should there be any flaws.
7) Truly, none of the prices of luxury are worth it, yet I'm willing to pay them because I want those items. The Lady Dior is much more iconic than the Kate and Antigona, and has proven its longevity, so definitely get the Lady Dior if you won't want the Chanel anymore after getting it.
Buy buy buy! You will not regret
2 similar bag tastes here. I have the Chanel medium classic black in shw and planning to get the Celine micro luggage in black.
I have the ABC Dior fard, which I got after my Chanel. I thought I’d love my Chanel more, but its this particular Dior that makes my heart sing more than any other bags. Not a fan of other Dior bags. I generally prefer Chanel but I’d rescue This bag first if anything happened.
