Any one using this wallet? Wondering if anyone would put coins in it
I don't own this but I can say that while it can fit a few coins, I wouldn't put too many of them in. The zipper can get hard to close if the wallet is very full, and trying to force it closed when its full of coins can damage the zipper.
 
Anyone ordering any of the Rimowa/Dior capsule?

Yes, just picked up the Personal clutch bag in silver tonight at the Miami Design District store. I initially wanted the black but then I started thinking the black would show scratches and nicks easier so I went with the silver. I also think I’d get more use out of the silver. They have all the pieces there in stock exept the pink and blue clutch and the champagne case.

Gorgeous - was the blue and pink out due to Demand? Was trying to pick between the blue or silver.
 
I saw the beading, even on the B23s and the Saddle bags. They look like Maria Grazia Chiuri's stuff with all the beaded embroideries, but I can imagine that their price point would be significantly higher so I will pass.

Yes. Oddly I was surprised at how much this collection feels like Maria Grazia's. Obviously he was influenced very much by her for this collection. While I don't mind her stuff, but I thought Kim Jones can do better. I had always thought he moved from LV to Dior so he can take over women's collection from Maria when she "retires" from Dior since her collections have not been a hit like Dior hoped them to be. I think the only thing under her that do well is the book tote. Dior is obviously milking every single way they can of that concept. But I can't imagine a book tote will keep her reign over Dior's women rtw for extended years. I think her contract is up for renewal soon if I remember correctly.
 
From afar it looked like high street clothing to me, but it like some of the pieces more up close. It feels less cohesive to me than earlier collections, but it could just be the styling. I agree he's been taking cues from the women's collection, some pieces look like they fit with ladies' pre spring summer 2020 like some prints and the fabric leather goods (which I like personally) . Lots of androgynous pieces like the berets. For me personally this at this point it's my least favorite collection he's done so far, but I'm sure there will be nice separates.
The interesting thing is I think this was done by design, in one interview, I think it's part of Vogue.com's review, he said that this was definitely more street and Fall proper is going to lean more in the dressy, full out couture realm.

I was right: Curtesy of Nicole Phelps:
"The structural flourishes that have made his tailoring up until this point so definitive (and that have recently begun appearing IRL; see: the Tailleur Oblique–cut Dior Men suit Daniel Craig wore to the Knives Out premiere) were somewhat sidelined here in favor of a more sportif mood. Sartorialists need only wait until mid-January when the brand’s winter 2020 show is on the Paris schedule; Jones promised that it will be “really tailored and super couture.” In the meantime, he’s more than earned the right to indulge his own obsessions, low, high, or otherwise."

So I'm interested , i can't afford any of it, but I love viewing the progressions and inspirations and all of that.

Actually while not a critical hit, her collections are a hit at the cash registers.
