Went again with @hightea_xx to try on the Sacai jacket that I preordered. It finally came! Was afraid that they cancelled the order, but thankfully they didn't. I was told that if I didn't preorder this, then this piece wouldn't be sold in Canada.

I rarely try something on that I know that I just have to have, especially at such a high price for what it is, but this was one of those pieces. I have wanted a Dior suit from Kim Jones since he started designing for Dior, but I couldn't pull off a Dior suit casually until this design was released. Introducing my new Sacai Tailleur Oblique jacket, and also an amazing cocktail set year-end gift from my SA which I will be using for the holidays!

Love this on you! It’s so flattering! and what a fabulous cocktail set! Dior gifts are the best!

Will you wear the jacket with your new sacai saddle bag? And the jacket with jeans Or cargo pants? I love it with your boots!

just wanted to say, I have no idea why some items are never ordered for certain stores. My store didn’t get a coat and a skirt that I saw in a window in Rome, (I wasn’t allowed to try it on in Rome either bc they only had the window display and no others). My SA luckily was able to transfer pieces in, but it wasn’t easy. I almost feel like does Dior not want to sell some things lol

Thank you very much! I will wear the jacket with the new Sacai Saddle bag. Not sure if it will go with jeans. I'll have to try on different outfits to see what works.

The boots are from a brand called Bruno Bordese. I love the distressed look of the leather. I had them for years now!

As for some items not going to various boutiques, it seems that there is a regional buyer who will select pieces and quantities for certain countries. For instance, the North American buyer orders pieces for all of the boutiques. Pre-ordering by clients starts when this big order is done, where clients choose from what has been preordered for the region (from what they call a "buy book"), and then the pre-ordered pieces will be marked for shipment to the clients' respective boutiques. The rest of the pieces that were not preordered are then sent to various boutiques based on what they believe will sell in a particular store, with the possibility of transferring pieces between the boutiques within a country after a two week hold on any new items so that each boutique has a chance to sell their own new merchandise first. For example, there was a men's couture coat from Fall 2020 (pictured below) where only one in a medium size was ordered for all of North America, and it was most likely sent to the Beverly Hills boutique.

Unfortunately, this process usually means that the most "safe" commercial pieces will be allotted to the Canadian boutiques, since our market is not that large and the clientele are not generally as fashion-forward with their choices.

Took my Lock bag out today and noticed one inside corner peeling apart and the upper outside one looks like it’s torn/poorly folded :confused1: Anyone with this bag style had a similar experience?

I love the bag so a replacement is my first choice. I was actually about to order the black leather version too but not sure now:frown:

I have the bag in the Black Leather version since March, and I have not encounter those issues on the inside corner. I've only been storing my phone, cardholder, keys, and some small essentials in it. The leather is extremely soft and supple, so my bag has a few scratches that are not too noticeable for me to care, but I need to be more mindful the more I wear it I suppose.

Thank you for sharing your experience! Good to knows your bag is aging well. I expected wear/scratches on the leather overtime since it’s smooth. I don’t mind that at all- it adds character. But the peeling on mine is worrying, especially on day one of using the bag

Yeah, I might maybe seek if it is possible to replace especially since you got that new. I assume it wasn't like that when you first got it. That bag is extremely gorgeous in that colour, and I would kill for another version lol
