Dior fard color?

[lyxxx035]

Ah man this is a hard choice! Have you looked into repairs outside of the dept store and Celine? I'd love to hear which department store you found this gem at if you're open to sharing! Good luck deciding!

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.

Thank you all for your insight and input! In truth, the bag I’ve wanted is the Chanel Medium Classic Flap but with the price increases, the $7,800 just isn’t worth it to me anymore. I had a hard time swallowing the price when it was in the $5XXX so as much as I lusted after it, the value just isn’t there for me. So in part I’m settling by wanting to get the Mini Rectangular Flap instead as a more “worth it for its price substitute”. I have it’s sister in SHW and wanted the GHW to round out my very small Chanel collection (two mini flaps and 3 SLGs). Basically just to have flaps in one of each hardware.

But after reading through everyone’s comments, there’s something about the Lady Dior in Blush/Fard that I keep coming back to. It’s not a color close to anything I own, I love how someone commented that the lambskin was more luxurious than Chanel. And especially appreciated those that own both Chanel and Dior and still loved the LD as much, if not more.

I have tried the MyABCDior on once before in Blush/Fard back in fall of 2019 in Chicago, the size and color were perfect but I wasn’t ready to purchase as I was getting my Celine Belt Bag already. I have some time to make a decision but am strongly favoring the LD, will circle back post baby and let you all know what ends up happening!

Also if anyone has an SA they work with at Dior Chicago, I’d be thankful for their contact info!

This is still the best colour I’ve ever seen the Lady Dior come in

 

[stockcharlie]

Agreed that fard is still the best color.. went in to the store today to check out the warm taupe, ultramatte and blush in bobby，saddle, LD… and I still like the fard abcdior the best! So tempting!

 

[nikribcorc]

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!

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.

I’m going to piggy back on this question, I’m looking for a Dior abc and want to know difference between warm taupe or fard? It seems the warm taupe is harder to get right now and there’s plenty of stock of the fard. It’s my first Dior lady and I heard Dior makes the best pink? Thanks!

I saw both colors in store, Fard is more blush/pink/nude toned and warm taupe was more beige/brown toned. Warm taupe looked more beige under the store lights but brown in natural light.

I’m so excited to be an owner of this beautiful color soon! As some of you mentioned, it’s a truly a unique one!

Hello Ladies,

Sorry for bad English (French girl). I just bought this beautiful ABC DIOR on vinted (with the all package). The lady purchase it in 2019 and it's brand new. I'm still wondering if the colour is "fard" colour ? because sometime I think it is and other moment I Don't think it is… What do you think ?

And other questions, I wanted a Lady Dior bag for so many years as this bag is such a classic one and so well made but I was thinking of have it in black. But this beautiful baby was at a really good price and I know it was just waiting for me.

But now I'm afraid as it's my first Dior Bag. Is the leather fragile or easily scratching ? Is colour transfer possible with this colour ?

I'm not an "evening" person, and now that I have a baby, I Don't go often to restaurants or else on the evening anymore. So I wan't to use it as a "day bag". Not every day because I have other bags that I like to wear, but maybe 2/3 times a Week. Sometime more, sometime less. Do you think it's possible with this bag ?

Thank you for your help !

Oh sorry here are the pics!

It looks like Fard although there are some similar colours from Dior, too. Do you have the paper tag that came with the bag? Inside, there is a style number with the colour code at the end. If you can provide the code here, then we can verify the colour.

As for colour transfer, it is possible, but it doesn't mean that you chose the wrong colour. Colour transfer happens on black leather as well, although the colour is so dark that you can't really see it. As long as you are careful not to get the bag in prolonged contact with colourfast fabrics like denim, then you should not experience colour transfer.

The lambskin leather does require a bit more care than a grained calfskin to avoid scratches and scuffs, but it isn't that delicate. If you're careful to avoid scratching the bag with your nails and other objects, as well as avoiding rubbing the corners against anything, then your bag should look pristine for a long time.
