You have the Saddle card holder too!
Happy Birthday!
J'ADIOR!!! The all-black looks good on guys. I have been thinking about an all-black Dio(r)evolution but I do have a LOT of black bags already.Hi everyone!! It's been a long time since I've been on the forum, but I got two pieces to show! First, I managed to find the B23 sneakers back in June when I was in London- was the last pair in my size in the city at the time! I've been wearing them a lot, as you can tell by the marks. Second, I just got the mini J'adior bag today.
By the way, if you want to remove those marks on the rubber of your shoes, I suggest wiping it with white paper towel, cotton pad, or cotton swab with a bit of lighter fluid. It works miracles!Hi everyone!! It's been a long time since I've been on the forum, but I got two pieces to show!

I love your new acquisitions! I've never even seen the Sorayama Saddle bag in person before. Lucky that you got to try it on!I had a chance to visit both Dior men store on 57th street and soho in nyc earlier this week. I was able to make few connections with store sales associates. I was hoping one of them can get me the Sorayama saddle key pouch. But I know deep down inside that they will only sell those to their vvic. Being new to Dior, I know my chance is slim if not none. With that said, it never hurts to try!
I did get few items and preordered a bag and two rtw for pre-ss20. Can’t wait for ss20 as I saw preview of the look book and I’m dying to get my hands on them!! It’ll be a haul come next Jan/ Feb.
I also had the pleasure to try on the infamous Sorayama saddle bag. It’s absolutely stunning! I was tempted to buy it but I rather spend the money on Arsham x Dior collection which will be more useful for daily wear vs one single metal saddle bag that I would be too afraid to wear it for the fear of dings and scratches.
I picked up few things... a pair of Alyx x Dior midtop, Cookie mink fur charm, and a backpack charm that one can put few cards and cash for going out dancing or theater (instead of a larger wallet).View attachment 4547120View attachment 4547121View attachment 4547122

The backpack charm is adorable! It even comes with the Saddle detail at the front like on the bigger one.
Forgot that I also bought these. Can we say senior moment?Blanket would be good for those cold winter nights!

I really like the Sorayama collection but there's no way I'm paying that much money for a bag, especially for one that is so identifiable from Pre-Fall 2019 (can look dated in years).yes, when the store manager took it out and insist I tried it on, well, how could I say no?!! Lol. It looked really really good but i suppose if one’s fashion budget is few hundred k a year, then I don’t see why not? It’s a collectible piece. Personally Sorayama isn’t my fav artist so part of the reason I passed in addition to the crazy price. The Dior x Arsham collection is the best one yet from Kim Jones for Dior IMO so I’ll be bleeding when 2020 rolls around... gotta save up for that.
Btw, I was told there will be a Dior pop up at Miami Art Basel which makes sense as I’m sure there will be many Arsham artwork in the show. Sadly I’ll be traveling so can’t make it. Will have to wait till January to get my Arsham pieces.

Congratulations on your bag! Unfortunately this older canvas rubs easily to show a brown colour canvas beneath, but as long as you are careful, it doesn't show that easily, and you can always redye the rubbed spots.Just got this great condition coated canvas bag from grailed—hedi slimane era. I was loving it so much but then i read somewhere that this coating is not very durable and now im sadis it that fragile?
Will post some pics of me wearing it as well
