In my opinion, I think most men are buying luxury bags for its big names, so Dior probably is lacking on that; Dior doesn't put a huge logo on their bags.
Additionally, LV and Gucci make canvas bags that are easy to maintain and long lasting, and most men buy for that reason.
This is just my observation.

They are currently expanding their monogram bag range, as there is a shift again towards logo fabrics among several menswear and womenswear brands. The new monogram bags look interesting, as they have prints on top of the monogram (like Gucci and LV). The new monogram also feels a lot more durable than the older one. I had some older pieces and I have now sold all of them because the coated monogram canvas is literally a cotton canvas with plastic coating, and the plastic coating rubs off easily at areas of friction, exposing the brown canvas beneath.

Would love to see the new monogram bags. Do you have a pic of them?

Here are some recent examples. I love how they have more than just plain monogram canvas.

Thanks! I thought it matched the Dior nicely, not just in colour and finish, but also because it's related in some way to Maria Grazia Chiuri :smile:

Summer weather is finally here, which means more summer outfits! Waited for a while this time around because usually it gets really warm during May, but there were some really cool days throughout May and June this year.

Is it a Diorissimo? Reveal, reveal!

No. It's a much older style, and one of my all-time favourites.

Introducing my Gaucho XL zipped tote, brand new with tags (which is hard to find 10 years after the bag was launched):

The price was nice BUT after conversion and duties, I almost paid twice the value of the US price in CDN dollar. Yikes!

I sold all my Gaucho bags in the past, including a black version of this tote. The black one I got was also from Ebay, but whoever owned it before didn't take good care of it. The leather was stiff, and the zipper and handles had been repaired, too. So I sold it. I sold the messenger styles too (black and brown) because I stopped using messenger bags with the exception of two in my collection (I now prefer bags with hand-carry handles). I missed the Gaucho leather, and have been looking for another XL Gaucho tote on Ebay since. A few came and went, all either in not-so-good condition, or the price was too high. So when I came across this, unused, and in a colour that I don't have in my collection, I caved.

I cut the tag off (it seemed like the seller got it from the Dior outlet) and wore it out today in the sweltering heat. Wanted to wear my new Ferragamo sandals but the forecast called for rain (didn't want to ruin my new sandals) so I wore something water-proof instead. I don't mind this Gaucho getting rained on, though, because the leather is washed anyway. I'm hoping it darkens a bit with more use.

Omg. Very nice. I remember trying this bag on when it came out years ago, but in the cognac'ish color.

Looks great on you.
