Sometimes chemicals in the lab get on the shoes, and damage them, so I don't wear anything nice.
There was a beautiful bi-colour Prada (light grey and neutral blue) at Holts 2 years ago. It went on markdown and disappeared. I wish I got that. I didn't like the shape of the bag too much as it was just a regular laptop/briefcase bag but the bicolour was stunning enough to make me want it.
That makes perfect sense
As for bags on markdown I've learned to not let anything go if you can't forget about it after a walk around the store!
This blue color is amazing!! Do you think they will make bags for women in this color for Spring 2016? Or does Dior keep the colors different for the men's and women's seasonal collection?

It's too bad that I only start to think more about them after I leave the store. I have the sense to stop myself from spending when in the store (so I put the sale item back down, feeling that I don't "need" it), and then when I leave, I can't stop thinking about it. Sometimes it's too late by the time I go back.
Dior Homme and Dior Couture have different colours overall. Dior Homme tends to limit the use of colours, while Dior Couture seems to have an explosion of colours.
Thanks so much for the info! So this would be a fairly unique release for Dior Homme then! This could be your perfect blue bag

Dior Homme has used more colour in their accessories recently. I hope that this "adventurism" eventually translates to the design of the bags themselves, which still look a bit "safe" to me.
Brands like Givenchy, Fendi, and even Proenza Schouler have offered some truly unique men's pieces, but Dior Homme seems to be lacking in this area. So I think I'll pass on this briefcase bag.
Hi!
Long time lurker. I normally spend most of my time looking at Loewe and Proenza bags but recently a Dior backpack caught my eye. I had never really paid much attention to Dior because I find the prices a little extreme, but this said backpack is around $1800-$2000 which I guess I am OK with.
What has your experience been with Dior Homme bags? Is the quality really there? Should I just take the plunge?
Thanks

I own 8 Dior Homme bags and I have never had any issue with the quality. In fact the quality of leather and other materials used is very good. My favourite style and the one I use most often (starting from 2006!!!) is the Deville messenger bag. This bag is no longer produced unfortunately
I agree with fast-runner. My leather Dior Homme pieces have amazing quality and craftsmanship, and I still love my Deville pieces as they are so versatile and easy to use.
However, I want to add that if the backpack is made of the old monogram coated canvas (the non-shiny version), then it has a tendency of wearing easily at the corners and any high-friction points to reveal a brown cotton canvas underneath.
The old coated canvas is literally a coated canvas: A cotton canvas with a surface sprayed/printed onto it. It is not as durable as LV monogram coated canvas. I was shocked to see my monogram pieces wear terribly. I have two Dior Homme monogram wallets that I rarely use now because I expected the canvas to be a lot more durable (like LV), but it wasn't at all, and wallets usually get heavy wear and tear.
No, the backpacks are made of calfskin pebbled leather!
Can you
Guys post some pics of your bags?
That would be great!
Thanks
I dug up my old pictures which I have posted here before. Surprisingly, I still have all of these bags.
My only more recent piece is the tote bag which is incredible pebbled leather, but the bag is really big and I hardly ever need to carry that much stuff, so I don't use it that often.
If the backpack is made of their thick luscious matte pebbled leather, then get it. It's a really luxurious leather.

Thanks! I've been wanting to add more because, after all, Dior is my favourite brand, but nothing has truly caught my eye recently. Oh well...
