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

OMG I saw it today and I am in absolute love! Too bad I can't afford it at the moment because of all my spending. I picked up something today from Dior already, too.

Congratulations! This bag looks as good in real life as in the pictures, for once.

I love all your Dior items. I’ve never bought a Dior item before I’ve always bought Louis Vuitton. I’m wondering how well does the Oblique Jacquard survive in the rain? I really like the blue Dior Oblique Jacquard Rider backpack but I’m worried about how fragile it will be. I live in Scotland and it rains a lot. The Louis Vuitton discovery backpack is also nice and as it is canvas it seems the more practical option for me.

Any replies would be much appreciated.

I would be very weary of getting the jacquard wet, it is not treated like coated canvas of Louis Vuitton. I love my LV Palm backpack and use it frequently for travel. If you were looking at Dior I would suggest a nylon or leather option instead for added durability.

I agree with @hightea_xx . The Oblique canvas can absorb water rather than repel it so I would not wear it in the rain at all.

Dior has a number of nylon bags that will work with this purpose. They do not have the Oblique logos but they can come with other details like the Christian Dior web strap and also the Alyx CD buckle.
 
Couldn't resist this when I was in Tokyo at the incredible House of Dior Ginza.

Perfect for throwing shade at all the haters :P
It's really beautiful. Is it a ginza or japan exclusive?

I know this item has been revealed already and I usually don't reveal much on here, but _20200216_184833.JPG I wanted to get something from the newspaper print collection and this is pretty useful except for the color...

I love it! I don't think this colour is that high-maintenance, because if it does get dirty, then it'll blend in with the newspaper look. I was actually hoping that the finish would be more distressed. I was obsessing over the newsprint Saddle till I saw it in real life and thought that it looked a bit too...clean? The font on the Saddle version also looks unusually lavender, unlike on some of the other designs featuring the newsprint.

I would avoid wearing it with blue jeans as you may ended up with partially blue bag. I bought the same bag as well as I like the size and look. Can’t wait to receive it hopefully this coming week.
 
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?
Looks normal to me. The way the bag was weaved doesn’t allow it to look crisp if you know what I mean. It’s mean to look this way. As long as you are fine with it, I don’t see anything wrong with it.
