Thank you. It was private sales. I wasn’t VIP but got my friend to get them for me lol.
What do you guys think about the Dior oblique pouch with shoulder strap, classic or trendy? It looks almost like a camera bag.
I have the Air Dior version of this pouch on strap. It is pretty convenient and fits more than I thought. I actually want the Galaxy leather one, although it isn't that high on my wish list as my list is quite full right now.What do you guys think about the Dior oblique pouch with shoulder strap, classic or trendy?

Have you tried it in person? I love how the bag looks. It is like the Prada Brique which I also love.
I think the style will be part of their current collection (I was surprised to find out that this style was before Kim Jones' arrival at Dior Men), although the different materials and colours will be seasonal. I'm pretty sure the Oblique one will be carried over from season to season for a while.
This type of bag has a classic look, it's literally a plain rectagular shape with a shoulder strap. Whether they keep producing this specific bag or not, if you get it in the dior oblique pattern or a monochrome leather, it's not going to look dated. While this is probably one of the best sellers right now for Dior men given that they release a new iteration with almost every collection, hardly any Dior men's bag is going to be kept around forever. That doesn't mean it's not a classic bag in my mind at least unless you get a seasonal piece.
For me this bag is a little bit on the small side as it doesn't hold most sunglasses cases. I like it, but it's really more like an expanded wallet on chain. I would consider buying another one in a different, more muted design if it were a tiny bit roomier, because it's otherwise really practical.

It's not a weird or uncommon shape at all, so I think it should age well.What do you guys think about the Dior oblique pouch with shoulder strap, classic or trendy? It looks almost like a camera bag.
Same. I like it, but it's just a little too big for when I don't want to carry much but also not big enough to carry a lot, especially the way it's compartmentalized.
For this clutch, I actually recommend this one over the Prada and Fendi. The Oblique tapestry won't look as lumpy as the Fendi Romano leather, which is bound to happen because of the slim profile of the bag with the contents potentially bulging out and stretching out the leather.Hi I am looking for a clutch for weekend use and am deciding between this and others by Fendi and Prada. Anyone with this clutch/pouch and mind sharing thoughts on it? My main concern is how this being jacquard would hold up against my alternatives which would be saffiano/cuoio romano leather

I had a Saffiano portfolio clutch and Daino leather (could be deerskin or calfskin made to look like deerskin) portfolio clutch, both from Prada. and sold the Saffiano one first. The clutch didn't have a wristlet, and the mere action of clutching the bag with my hand creased the leather because the contents were uneven.
The Oblique won't do this. It is a thicker fabric, and fabric doesn't stretch like a soft leather, nor crease like a stiff leather.
Thanks so much for the really comprehensive analysis! That settles it for me haha
Hi @averagejoe ! Have you got your hands on this yet?
I am thinking about getting it or this one from Dior, but this is more of a safe choice

or a turtleneck from Louis Vuitton

No, it has not arrived in the store yet. Canada receives everything slower than Asia for European brands.
Your first link isn't working, although I tried to find it on Google. Is it this?
Of the three pieces (including the sheer Oblique Dior turtleneck), I obviously like the turtleneck the most. The other pieces do nothing for me. The design of the Dior sweater looks lazy to me, since it is just a huge Dior logo slapped onto a sweater with subtle detailing. I would only ever get this if it were on sale.
The LV is too loud! Looks like something from Versace. So not my style. If it is your style, and you want something that isn't sheer, then the LV is best in this case. Otherwise the Dior turtleneck is the best of these. Come to think of it, even though the shoulder pads look a bit odd, they do add to the design of the top, so it isn't just a turtleneck made of sheer Oblique material.
