I was told last week at a boutique in the UK that a price increase was coming in two or three weeks.
Dior Price Increase
- Thread starter Bottega-Veneta
- Start date
(A lady from my city said that) an SA at our store said there will be a high price increase January 3rd. 20-40% on all items.
Not sure weither to believe it or not..
Not sure weither to believe it or not..
When was the last Dior increase? It no increase til January then I have time to choose what I like. Fingers crossed nothing til then
Any updates on the alleged price increase? Planning on making a purchase before Christmas, need to know if I should run to the store a bit earlier than I had planned for 
I was debating on getting small lady dior bag in black, but so confused if it should be the pale gold hardware or the enamel one.. may i ask what the difference with the interior you are talking about is?Yep! A little after midnight I went onto Dior.com to see how much equity I now have in my new Dior bag. Lol.
Oh sure! The Dior Lady ABC bag I purchased has light gold hardware, including the charms, however the charms are trimmed with enamel (on the edges only). The version with the charms with the enamel edging is lined in actual suede vs fabric and it is goregous and plush! When I purchased my Lady ABC that version (with the suede lining and enamel edging on the charms) was slightly more then the non enamel, fabric versions however after the price increase that version became the SAME price as the one I have. So, the Lady bags lined in fabric and lined in suede became the SAME price after the price increase in Nov of last year. I'm not sure if that is still the case. Crazy for the suede to start off more to later be the same cost as the non suede. I have included a pic of my bag so you can see the charms. They do come in all enamel as well but I felt it got lost with the bag and didn't stand out much.

Sorry correction. I got the enamel reversed on the charms! I meant to say the charms are enamel with just the edges exposing the gold metal. So its reverse of what I originally said. I added pics above.

Oh thank you for your very informative answer ! I was so cunfused. But what a beautiful bag!
I am debating on getting the black pale gold or the black enamel one. I like the red interior that the pale gold has , and i am not quite sure which suede color the black have as it does not say anywhere on the website. Maybe someone in here can help me. I really like the idea of the luxury suede lining however as you said , i dont know if the enamel charms would stand out as much or will like dissapear with the bag. But at least no scratches right? As i heard the charms are easily scratched. Do you know what the charms are made of?
The charms appear to be just metal and as far as the enamel that in on the front of the charms (there is no enamel on the back) it's nicely done. You don't feel any texture from the enamel, it basically feels like smooth glossy metal. The enamel is glossy, not shiney if that makes sense. Since my enamel charms have the pale gold metal exposed around the edges, the charms do not get lost with the bag even though the enamel is close to the same color as the bag (the enamel on the charms is about 1 shade darker on my bag). When I purchased mine, I saw the matte leather Lady bag with the full matte enamel charms and although it's edgy, they blended too much into the bag for my liking. I read somewhere that overtime the enamel may flake off. I'm wondering if that is on the matte enamel that is on the matte bags because as I'm looking at mine, I really don't see how that could happen as it appears to be one with the metal. I'm not sure how it was processed, maybe baked on and coated over with some type of glossy lacquer? I can't even feel where the enamel starts or ends. My guess is with the glossy enamel it will not show those fine hairline scratches due to the coating over the enamel. I don't see 1 scratch on the front of my charms. I flipped my charms over and the back are just plain pale gold metal. I do see fine faint scratches on the back of the charms tho and some of the scratches give the appearance of dullness. I've only had this bag for 1 year and used it just a handful of times. As I look at my charms, my thought is that the plain pale gold charms without the glossy enamel may show more visible wear and scratches however maybe not as quickly as the back of mine, as mine are scratched because the charms rub up against each other on the back more then they do the front front. I do see fine scratches now on the front of my charms as I look now, but it's only where the gold is exposed around the edges of the enamel. It is very faint and such a small area of gold it makes it so minor.
However on the enamel itself I see zero scratches. I'll include pics of the back of my charms so you can see what I'm talking about and it will giive you an idea of the wear on the plain pale gold vs the glossy enamel with the gold metal edges. Hope this helps!
Thank you so much for the pictures, it really does help. Now i just have to figure out which color the lady dior small black enamel interior color is before making up my mind.The charms appear to be just metal and as far as the enamel that in on the front of the charms (there is no enamel on the back) it's nicely done.

I just wanted to update you after all, because you really helped me figuring out every questions that i har toward the lady dior!
So here she is
I am very happy! I also got the holiday packaging.Buut there is a but .. yes i know. I found some weird scratches on the dior charms, like some rounded scratches.. and some dent on the leather strap. I dont know if i am being too sensitive or .. and also when i ordered the bag i really wanted the letters “PUT” for the strap. But the T was out of stock so i opted for a “heart” instead. And now i see that they have the T in stock. Should i make an return because of any of these reasons?
