Just wanted to let you know that I did indeed take this lovely Dior VIII home, only I took home a different model than I'd originally planned. I got the 28mm, and though I'd wanted it to be plain, they don't make it that way (and I was told it wasn't in the book for winter either, and I didn't want to wait any longer). In any case, I'm totally in love with it! Here's a quick late night in the dark model shot:

Congrats! It looks very gorgeous and lovely!:smile1:
 
Thank you; fhe faceted cuts are really fabulous, and they really do catch the light (when there is light, which there wasn't for my photo). I think this is way nicer than the J12 personally. Cost was about $6600.

That is a very nice price. If I didn't get my H Hour TGM with diamonds and croc strap for my graduation present then I would have consider this as an option...Sigh...still love my H to bits but a little Dior ain't gonna hurt nobody except my wallet lol.

Yes, the price is quite reasonable indeed. My SA's co-manager had the black without the diamonds in a larger size and it looked great on him, too. Dior definitely deserves your love, too!

What a beauty! Congratulations! The diamonds are a nice touch :D
 
I don't feel like its for me because i think its too masculine for my taste. It'd be perfect for my boyfriend though...Sleek masculinity...just gorgeous.

Dior Homme has been a bunch of hits and misses with me in the last few years, especially with the bags. Some of the bags now are a bit boring in my opinion, but every once in a while there is an amazing bag or accessory.

I used to want almost all the Dior Homme bags. The Deville line was one of my favourites.

Yeah...its like too PLAIN for my taste but its what most men brands like Dunhill, Zegna, Canali offers and all the brands offer plain leather bags for men. Although the red wallet you showed me is still burning in my mind. Anyway that it is still being sold?

I saw some recent Dior Homme boutique pictures and there are red wallets in the display cases, so I'm guessing that they are still available.

I browse through the Zegna and Canali selections at Holts every once in a while and I can't seem to find something that appeals to my tastes. The bag selection is a bit plain, as you said.

Well it appeals to men i guess lol...doesn't appeal to me but those bags are the type i want my boyfriend/husband to carry cause is plain and masculine. I wouldn't approve of my husband carrying a monogrammed bag.

Sometimes plain is nice, but I only want one or two plain messenger bags. Otherwise, my collection will look like the same bag over and over again but by different brands.

Have you seen Fendi's dark blue monogram? I love the way it looks. It's very subtle so the logos aren't very flashy. Maybe it'll change your mind about a monogrammed bag on your partner ;)

Yeah maybe lol...LV's Damier Graphite works too I guess because my ex-boyfriend carries LV Damier Graphite. Hmm..it looks sort of nice but leather messenger bags from MontBlanc, Dunhill, Dior Homme or any of the MEN brands would be better imo...sigh..its sort of his choice too i guess.

True. Leather bags feel a lot more luxurious to the touch.
 
That is very true...my favorite leather of all time is box leather and i know that Mont Blanc makes impeccable box leather men messenger bags.

I love the look of box leather (I think the new Saint Laurent Sac de Jour is in box leather), but it's very easy to scratch.

There is a Mont Blanc briefcase at my local Winners (similar to TJMaxx) and it's completely scratched from people rough handling the bag. Quite a shame, since the bag is incredibly stunning.
