As much as I would love to be unpredictable, naturally it is a Dior. I'll post pics soon.
Looking forward to your pics! I'm wondering if it's one of the new Oblique items.
This bag looks great on you as does the Dior!!! Suits your body frame. Both very stylish.
Not an Oblique. Sorry I've been busy and haven't even had the chance to take it out of the box or take pictures.
It's so different from the rest of my collection, in terms of color and style so I'm a little in undecided but most likely keep it.
Here's a teaser from my IG
Would love to see what is inside that bag. Different in style...did you get a Dior Addict flap bag, or perhaps the top-handle one?
Excellent guess! I've attached a pic. Sorry just took it out of the box tonight. It's the Dioraddict Top Handle in Dior Gray!!
Back in May, I mentioned that this is far too much like the Hermes Kelly. Then I did warm up to it after seeing it in person ( in Red and Black all for Fall 2017). I saw the gray and decided to try it on just for fun but really fell in love.
There's also a Navy (Winter 2017) available with the bleu Bohemian strap. I did love it but ultimately felt that the Bohemian strap isn't my style.
I'm playing around with strap options. I have an LV epi strap in blue which works nicely and also a watersnake Fendi strap from my Dotcom which also look great (I'll try and snap pics this weekend).
WOW!!! J'ADIOR! The thick strap makes it work perfectly for guys in my opinion. And it dresses the bag down in a way that the Kelly can't do without a separate strap. The aged gold hardware against the grey looks amazing.
Thank you, AJ! I do like it a lot and of all the colors the grey was the best for me (as I already own far too many black/dark color bags).
The leather is beautiful and silky but very delicate than what I'm normally used to, I think that's part of my reservation with the bag.
I felt the leather on this bag before at the boutique and was surprised. It's very smooth and feels a bit supple to the touch, which means it is a bit more susceptible to scratches. While I normally like bags to be durable, I have a few that are scratch magnets and I still love them because of their style. I have to be super careful with them, but that's fine with me.
With Dior reviving the Monogram for the Dior Oblique range, I decided to take my vintage Galliano-era Dior Trotter sling out for a spin while picking out a couple of new suits...
My bags are always on heavy rotation so I don't use the same bag for more than 4 days in a row. I do love the bag.
The other option I'm considering is to exchange it for another large Diorever in either black (though I already have plenty of black bags but I love the Diorever in black) or in the gray (which I believe is still available). I have a few days to think about it.
All sound like good options. Is the black Diorever in taurillon or the new grained calfskin? I prefer it in taurillon.
