Re the shoes- The only thing i know that is confirmed is that all attendees at the miami show are supposedly guranteed a pair. The other pairs allocated to each country is limited to their elite and Super elites. If they are any left over, they will be offered to the general public.

The RRP from what I was told is 2000USD. However, people have been hitting the attendees at the Miami shows up in their DMs with offers of up to 20K usd to buy their allocated shoe. It is totally redic!! I wouldnt sell mine! They are sooo cool!!

I love your new pieces! That degrade Rimowa cabin suitcase is my favourite one! It's my favourite piece in the whole collection, except I don't travel often (and will probably be too afraid to use it due to scratches) so I will probably never use it if I get it. Does it come with a "onesie" dustbag like on the Fendi Rimowa? My brother has a Fendi Rimowa and he keeps the onesie on to prevent scratches.

Your new shoes are awesome! I want the blue degrade version of the sneaker you got, and the clear boots are awesome![/QUOTE]

Thanks...Love the blue rimowa cabin. Yes it comes with the dust bag. I travel almost every fortnight so I get alotta use out of them. Scratches are inevitable, sadly. Just gotta roll with them unfortunately.

The crystal boots are sooo cool...unfortunately they "fart", not squeak but "fart", when i walk...gotta put vaseline or powder between the insole and the sole...hahah....They didnt get any of those sneakers or crystal boots here...so it was fortuitous that I got them all when I was in miami - they SS20 was available for us to purchase in Dec.

Thank you very much! I have to tell myself not to get more black bags because I'm most drawn to black. The black Rimowa is exquisite! I still love it even though I won't get it now that I have the blue.

Thankfully this blue colour is so multi-dimensional and compliments the aluminum material. Have you considered getting this bag? I think it is your style. The bag looks really futuristic in my opinion, which is your style.



Yeah I wish they had the Oblique on this clutch version, especially in the degrade version. It would be exquisite! Having the much smaller single logo at the front now makes it more subtle. I love it, but it would've been better with the Oblique.



I don't even know if I'll be able to get my hands on a pair. I heard they were going to be super rare. I guess the scarcity makes the ~$2000USD price tag easier to stomach.

I would definitely consider this bag, very much my style- you are spot on! I have yet to see it in person so I’ll have to scout it out... would love to hear your thoughts after some ongoing use! Enjoy it!!

I bought the Alex Israel Rimowa suitcase last year, and it's so beautiful but I can't bear to actually use it for fear of scratching it.

I haven't had a chance to use it yet but I'm sure I will very soon. It's quite easy to use. I just love the blue colour with all its dimension due to the aluminum finish.

I have been liking Dior and its beautiful designs for quite some time now, but found it to be on the pricier side. Finally made the decision to step into 1 of its stores to make my 1st Dior purchase today. Fits a little big on my finger though (it is already the smallest size available guess my fingers are just too thin)View attachment 4654529 View attachment 4654530

Congratulations on your first Dior purchase! What a nice piece to start a collection.

I went from not really liking the Rimowa personal clutches to loving them.

Here's my story:
My SA invited me to check out the Arsham pieces two weeks ago and I picked up the transparent Dior Oblique shirt that I have been wanting for ages (didn't expect to see the shirt there). Before leaving, he brought out the Rimowa personal clutches in black and silver. I tried them on and was impressed. I didn't think I would like them. I really liked the black, but as I said earlier in this thread, it would show scratches over time and the contrast between the silver aluminum and the black coating would accentuate any scratches. The silver one was nice but the black one was much nicer in my opinion (I'm a sucker for black). I already have a grey Saddle. The silver Rimowa was too similar in colour, and I have way too many black bags already (wasn't sure if I wanted yet another black bag). I told him I would think about it.

I was thinking a lot about the black one and then I started looking into the blue one. I thought that it looked really nice in pictures where the blue has an icy sheen. It also won't show scratches as easily because the blue was closer in colour to the aluminum metal, and the darker leather straps won't shirt dirt as easily as the lighter leather on the silver one. As well, the colour was appropriate for warmer weather, too. Turns out it was sold out or not even available in a lot of places. I asked my SA and he said that he actually had one that was not displayed that another SA had "hidden" for a customer. I went to see the bag and fell in love. I had one deal-breaking requirement for the bag, which was that if it didn't carry my large sunglasses (which I brought to the store to test), then I wouldn't get it. What's the point of wearing a bag that can't even fit my essentials for summer? Surprisingly, it fit them, and had room for more! It's a lot more roomy than it looks. I was sold!

All of the black ones and silver ones were sold out already, and they received quite a few pieces of each! They have one pink one that was originally reserved for a client that is not on display, and it's their last Rimowa clutch.

With flash to show how the blue colour has a beautiful sheen.

congratulation! I was thinking about this bag but worry about the weight. Do you find it heavy?

Aluminum has a low density as a metal so it's not as heavy as it looks. I mean, it feels heavier than the Oblique wallet-on-strap which is just a tad bit smaller, but being a small bag, it really doesn't weigh that much.

Did you get to try it on? That's actually what got me to like the bag. I never liked this bag before, especially not in this colour.

Unfortunately there is no Dior in my city. If I want, I can pay in full (not refundable) to get it ship in. I was hoping to see it in Hawaii and was told it wasn't release.

Does anyone know if this style still in production? Any info on it such as name/price?
