I picked up the oblique jacquard and oblique galaxy leather pouches yesterday. I love the size and they’re easy to wear.

I’m sharing photos of my little pouch family with and without flash to show how cool the galaxy leather is.

I’m now eyeing the beige mini galaxy leather saddle bag. I assume it will soon be increased from its current price of $2,700

Wow! How the flash lights up the Oblique pattern on the Galaxy leather! I love all 3 of your pouches. I wonder if the mini Saddle will be increased. I find its price already very high for what it is. I loved it immediately when it first came out but when I found out that the price was so close to the bigger Saddle, I was wondering why I wouldn't just pay a bit more and get another bigger Saddle instead. I love how it can be turned into a belt bag, though.

I’m with you 100%, for the price point, I almost feel obligated to just pay the extra $200 for a full sized saddle, but the galaxy leather + convertible strap are what make the mini model so appealing. I may just have to find one on the secondary market in the future.

Wow! The Oblique jacquard pouch was increased from $1,250 to $1,550 USD this morning. I remember when this bag was $950 - $1,050 about a year ago.
The Oblique galaxy leather pouch was increased from $1,500 to $1,800 USD.

The mini galaxy saddle is definitely off my wishlist with a $600 increase from $2,700 to $3,300. Yikes!

I got a pair of B23s that I first saw back in August and loved at first sight. The grey and navy combination really appealed to me. I am not a fan of all-navy and all-grey on the B23, but the two together just works. I thought that I could take my sweet time to decide since there are always so many options of B23s to choose from, so I didn't think any of them would ever sell out. They sold out quickly. I have been checking the website since to see if the flagship inventory was restocked.

The restock happened in January. The rumours of price increase made me take the plunge, although they actually did not go up in price in Canada at all. Ugh.

But I still really like them. Also got the Lunar New Year gift which comes with some red pockets. @hightea_xx takes much better photos than me. I was taking photos while unboxing and I think in my excitement, I didn't bother staging the items so my couch looks like a mess of packaging.

Went ahead and purchased the mini roller after I still can't get it out of my head even post price increase.
Thank you @averagejoe for your advice. Mini was the way to go.
SA I dealt with was wonderful. Dior customer service is top notch!
Here it is! I was lucky that they had some holiday packaging left which made it even more special as my first piece.
Already thinking about my next purchase. This is dangerous! XD

Congratulations! It is an amazing bag! I can't wait to wear mine! We are still in lockdown right now, and with all the salted sidewalks (due to the snow), I don't feel like wearing anything nice. Hopefully I get a chance to, soon.

I kept the strap at the short setting that it came in from the production facility. I tried to lengthen it but it made the strap look too long when I hold the bag with the top handle and let the strap dangle. Will you choose to lengthen the strap, or keep it short? With the shorter setting, it rides really high when I wear it cross-body, but looks okay when worn over the shoulder.
