View attachment 4351955 View attachment 4351954 I’ve been a Dior fan for many years and own a number of different Dior bag styles.
To answer your questions based on my experience :
1, How is your Diorever holding up in term of the shape and leather?
I own one Diorever and only bought it at the urging of my SA. One of the very few times I was sorry I listened to her. It is my least favorite Dior design amongst all the types I have. I have found that the top of my bag flap where it is open around the handles has started to bulge slightly from being stretched to go over the handles. And this is not a bag I use very often because I find it so awkward to have to keep pulling this flap over the handles to open it. I have the later version with the smaller handles so I can’t even imagine what the older version with the taller handles must be like.
2, What are the pros and cons?
I think Venessa84 and averagejoe covered this topic pretty thoroughly and way better than I could.
3, Is this bag quality worth the price ( the price is $3200 USD)?
I don’t recommend this bag at any price. But Dior bags in general are well made and I’ve had very few problems with any of my bags over the years.
4, Will Dior still repair their bag 10 - 15 years after the date of purchase?
I bought a Diorama a few years ago that had a clasp that would stick when I was trying to open it. I only noticed this after I got it home. I mentioned it to my SA and asked if they could fix it. She told me to bring it back and gave me a brand new replacement bag. Of course I had not used the bag and I brought it back about a week after I initially purchased it but after hearing horror stories about other brands refusing to even fix defective bags, I was really impressed with Dior’s policy.
I recently sent a Diorissimo with scuffed corners to Dior to be fixed. (I think I scuffed the corners against a cement wall coming out of a narrow gate cuz i’m such a klutz). Not sure of exact age of the bag but I think it’s about 7 years old (I don’t have my records handy to look it up). The bag came back as good as new in about 6 weeks. That’s my only experience with Dior repair and it was for self inflicted damage and not a quality of manufacture issue.
5, Please see pics below, all got the mark from the magnet pressure. Will all bags eventually have this kind of imprint on the back?
I see averagejoe answered this above. I rarely use mine and when I do I usually leave the flap in closed position so I have not noticed this problem with my bag.
6, If Diorever is not worth it , then what are your recommendations? I just look at LV Capucines BB in noir but the big LV logo in the front of the bag really turns me off. Please no Chanel recommendation, I am not Chanel's fan. I have a Lady Dior and will also buy Diorama soon.
A) I have a couple of Diorissmos and like them. However the Diorissimo has no flap or zipper and i’m not sure if you want a bag a secure closure. I also find it heavier than a comparable size Lady Dior so if weight is a consideration, this bag might not be the best fit for you.
B) if pre-owned is an option for you, then maybe a Be Dior is worth a look. It has a secure flap closure with a back pocket large enough you can stick your phone in without having to open your bag. It came in at least 2 different sizes. One of my favorite Dior bag styles in recent years and I practically cried when they discontinued it after Raf Simons left.
C) a more recent style with a secure top closure is the Dior21st. I have one of these and like the cool hardware for the top closure. I’m just not sure if it came in a smaller version. It’s definitely lighter than a comparable size Diorissimo.
