My SA recently attempted to sell this to me. Not sure if it's still in production or just old stocks. Never saw it on the shelves though.

It's not good to buy final sale items without seeing them first. I was asked back in November if I wanted to pre-order Dior x Rimowa pieces by paying in full. I asked if it was final sale and the SA had to ask his manager. I think he ended up saying it was, so I declined. I didn't really like this clutch style in the pictures, and the degrade Oblique luggage which I did want would just sit in my home and take up space as I would probably never use it.
I'm glad that they sent extra pieces to the boutique so I could actually try one. I thought that declining the pre-orders would mean I could never get my hands on one eventually.
If you are interested, I think it is a lot nicer than Dior's stock photos. It's also really cute, and I'm glad that it can be used daily. At least it's not like my brother's Fendi x Rimowa which he has only used twice in 2 years. If you are staying for a while in the US, you can buy the black or pink version from the Dior website and send it back for a refund if you don't like it. It's not final sale on the website. The black one is very nice in my opinion.
I imagine the price is somewhere between the Roller bag ($1300) and the Safari bag ($1900) based on its design. It's adorable! I've never seen it in person but I just tried to look it up and people are selling this for $700-$800 USD pre-owned.
I tried this piece in Singapore a few months ago. From memory it was sub-SG$2000. I found it too tiny to be practical - it couldn't zip closed when my phone was in the main large pocket. Definitely try before you buy.
My SA said it's usd1.7k. I would agree it's a little pricey.
I saw it in store today though. It's with leather trimmings and with the handle it looks kinda cute.
On the French Dior site you can actually see availability in store for every item listed, including all of these clutches, none have sold out completely and there seem to be plenty of black and silver left. I couldn't find the same option on the US page though, which is a shame. But if anyone is heading for Courchevel soon, that's where it seems like stock is moving slower than anywhere else.
Thank you for this as I thought it will be bigger to fit cell.
I copied your post here as well because I noticed that you were male. What lovely items you got! Please share some mod shots! I'd love to see how you wear that belt.
There it is!
I like it a lot and am happy that I went with a bigger size. It works better for my frame than the smaller tote.
However there’s one thing I’d like to have your opinion on.
my husband argued that the craftsmanship on the ‚Christian Dior‘ is a bit sloppy and that the threads should have been woven more tightly together. As you can probably see in the picture not all areas are perfect. I feel that it‘s due to the nature of how the bag was made but I just wanted to make sure: do you think that the name label looks normal?

I didn’t know if the ombré saddlebag was going to be made this season but to my delight I found it!
