Dudes and their Diors

[nappytoots]

Thanks tutushopper! I was never really a shoe lover; it was always bags and belts for me, until I bought my first pair of fine shoes. Then there was no going back, especially when it comes to dress shoes!

I know that the Cuff Me Dior is actually for women, but it can work on men depending on how it's dressed. I was hesitant at first because it looks quite feminine, but after looking at it a few times, I had to have it! Camille Miceli's Dior jewelry designs are too irresistible to pass, even for guys.

Here's my collection of Dior bracelets, all originally made for women, but can work for men as well:

(I included a picture of me wearing all three at once on one wrist, but I would only wear them one at a time when I actually use them)

Really nice collection!!! Dior was the first brand i really got into (well mostly because of Galliano's egyptian themed haute couture show.. till now i watch it and still get shivers..)

Your cuffs are gorgeous!!! Im used to seing Hermes, Celine and Ysl cuffs but your diors are gorgeous.. i wonder how they look like stacked with some other brands..

Thanks Nappytoots! The Cuffs are kind of large so they probably stack better with thin bracelets. There is a smaller single-chain version of this bracelet which Eminere shared pictures of in this thread: http://forum.purseblog.com/dior-ref...akeup-clothing-and-accessories-709364-14.html. It is probably much more stack-able.

The Egyptian-themed Haute Couture collection from 2004 was something that blew my mind away years ago. I already loved Dior, but the collection made me love the brand even more.

And the Madame Butterfly-themed collection from 2007 did the same thing for me.

Even now when I watch both collections again, I feel awe.

Two of my favourite couture collections. Galliano the genius.

Nice bracelets! I have never seen the Dior Homme version before (I've seen Dior Homme belts that look like this, though). I really like the Street Chic one but it's difficult to get an authentic one of this because there are many fakes. I can't seem to authenticate the one in this auction based on the pictures provided, so I'll pass. Besides, I should give my spending a temporary break. The recent seasonal sales have been really bad on my bank account. Thank you for the suggestions, though!

By the way, the anniversary collection at Versailles has some of the most stunning dresses. The models looks like they walked right out of paintings!

Yes the summer sales also got me all spent up!!! Haha my credit card was smokin!!! Hahaha.. the prices were a bit too good to be true for the bracelets i must admit hahah

Actually it depends on the style. Some older styles like the Street Chic don't sell for very high prices. It is likely that the bracelet is authentic even at that price.

The newer Dior costume jewelry designed by Camille Miceli fetches much higher prices on Ebay, because she developed some Dior icons as well as classic styles that transcend seasonal trends.

Was browsing the Dior website and came across this stunning large Diorissimo in Blue Nuit with black ruthenium hardware. The dark colour paired with the black hardware is quite masculine, and would be a great option for guys. The touch of hot pink inside makes the bag really cool!

This is definitely black, not bleu nuit - there must be a mistake with the colour name on the web site.

Loving the ruthenium hardware against the black smooth calfskin.

Oh I thought that it was so dark that it looked black. Thanks for the clarification!

Yeah I really like the dark hardware.

Actually, the web site may be right: I just recalled the permanent black colour in the smooth calfskin is paired with foulard on the inside, so since the inside of this bag is not foulard but pink the outside could very well be bleu nuit!

i like it! it's kinda Dior's Version of the SoBlack (<H called it SoBlack>, Celine and <Chanel called it Blackout>all have released all black hardware versions of their classics, so, i guess, it's just but natural for Dior to interpret it with an Iconic piece of their own..) but the Dior packs a great pop with the unexpected pink!.. i love it but not sure if i can pull off a bag that is very much designed with a top handle and charms in mind..

One more thing.. i wish they also attach this Black hardware to Lady Diors and Miss Diors as I think those are also frontrunners of Dior's bag collection (especially the Lady Dior)

Dior has done it before! Matt black leather with ruthenium hardware versions of their classic shapes. Sadly these were seasonal and are no longer available.
