Sorry for the late reply. But i didn’t really know anyway. For example I thought that the light brown saddle keyring a couple people here were interested in was also supposed to release, but only the black and navy showed up. The leather (non-metal) bee charms i thought were also part of the prelaunch but didnt show up online. Also thought the navy version of the dior kaws pouch/bag was supposed to drop alongside the black but it didnt. What was a nice surprise was to see the kaws script dior items feature the little bee as the early buy book picture previews did not have that embroidered bee previously. So it was nice to see official final product in the online drop. What is a little confusing is that as items sold out, instead of stating sold out it states coming soon and the buy button changed to “receive an alert.” I was under the impression that these pieces would be pretty limited so it will be interesting to see if more will be coming soon.


So the next wave (that was already previewed like the other ready to wear) is coming mid-december? Or is that when they will reveal the rest of the kaws collection yet to be previewed?
Or both?

My SA (from Dior Women’s) mentioned that there’s another drop, that’s all She inquired to the Men’s Soho boutique about the runway necklace I’m interested in, and still she’s not sure if it will be part of that drop - or could be as late as a February release.

Is it just me or do the manikins make the clothes look very cheap? Looks a bit tooooo street there, not like it’s worth the $$$.

Also do you think the pieces will flow into saks? I should check I’m so close to work but I’m trying to be responsible

there's a youtube video of someone that picked up a couple items from one of the tokyo popups. more pickups should be posted with tomorrow's western popups. feel like i need to see in person to judge quality though.
havent really figured out what is part of the permanent collection and what is limited. but for the kaws stuff i imagine it will not make it into saks. in fact some of the flagships getting the collection arent even getting all the pieces. for examplei believe i saw that vegas is not getting the duffel. in all i think i saw 8 stores listed, 7 for the US, and fairmont hotel in vancouver. i think anyone interested in any of the pieces kaws or not should just check in right away with their SA.

thanks. yeah im not sure on any release dates, just was told it's coming in waves. and that theres more that we havent even seen that hopefully will be previewed mid-december. i had to restrain myself from buying too much from what was shown from the first half in case there's must haves shown in this upcoming second half.

This is just so good isn't it? Better than his LV days if you ask me. It looks like the flaps may be actual metal?

They are actual metal for sure.

I think Kim Jones is even stronger than before at LV, but it may be because I love Dior and having any good designer for the brand makes Dior that much better than it already is.

Seems like they are aluminum according to Dior instagram. That's a really good thing if you ask me, it means there won't be any chipping (solid metal) and it's really light.

I haven't been a big fan of Dior homme since Slimane left and I haven't been interested in the leather goods almost at all until now. A lot of it has been in toile or embossed leathers à la epsom which I just don't like, it's a personal preference. I didn't really enjoy the boxier silhouette of recent times either, but somehow I just like everything from Kim's DIor collections and the quality looks great too. Which I felt was sometimes lacking with his stuff at LV at least for the price, and I honestly didn't like a lot of the things that came out during his tenure there design wise either. It seems like he's been given more liberty at Dior, even the pre-fall collection has a complete vision through and through.
