From hot LA weather back to the reality that is a Canadian autumn... love that this bag goes so well with jackets! Featuring my new LV sneakers and Addict wallet (hidden away inside of course).

Thank you both! The Diorevolution was not even on my radar but while I was in the boutique the manager brought it out and at first I was put off but once I tried it on I fell in love how easy it is to wear. The coin/card case was needed to allow more room in the bag and I had wanted the sunglasses for a while so just used the rest of my refund for those. All in all a good exchange and day at Dior!
Love the Studded Lady Dior this is next on my list! How is it holding up wear and tear wise?
It’s holding up very well thanks for asking! I don’t baby it but I’m not rough with it either... the studs help add a layer of protection I find, that might be a weird thought but that’s how I feel haha.
Went in to Dior this weekend and looked at a few options: Dioraddict medium flap bag with Bohemian strap, Lady Dior large supple in Brandy, and Studded Diorama medium in black (they didn't have the navy yet but it's arriving this week).
Then decided to get the black studded Diorama until bf asked to see other colors of the large Diorever (my Navy with champagne hardware is probably my favorite and most used bag). SA brought out the blue with silver hardware and I fell in love.
But after bringing it come, I can't decide if it's far too close to the one I already own, still waiting to hear until the boutique gets the Navy Diorama this week and make a final decision to keep or exchange.
And the other two I'm considering (via IG)

Both are beautiful! I believe the blue you purchased is in the timeless line so it will be around for a bit? (Anyone please confirm if I’m wrong or not! Still a Dior newbie!)
I do love the studded Dioramas and considered them myself just the lambskin leather worries me of lots of scratches. I know bags wear and tear but with the chain falling on the bag when it’s placed down and getting into the bag may cause extra wear.
But they are beautiful! Whichever you get will look beautiful!
Personally, if you don’t own a Diorama, I would plump for the navy studded Diorama. I think it’s absolutely stunning.
Between the two Diorevers, I prefer your existing one in navy and champagne gold in any case.
Both are beautiful options, but in this case, I’d go for the Diorama. It’s one of my favourite bags in my stable, and I find myself reaching for mine all the time. Mine is in the grained calfskin though, so I can’t quite comment on the Lambskin of the studded one...
I have a large Diorama in black grained leather silver hardware....which most time I find too big. The studded Diorama, though from the same family, is still very different from my Diorama now mostly due to the aged matte gold hardware.
I considered the small as well.
Thanks!
I don't think they are too close, and I prefer the taurillon of the Diorever over the lambskin of the Diorama. However, the navy with gold studs (Diorama) is just divine! The combination of aged gold with navy is really beautiful.
The more blue one I just purchased is from Spring 2016 (Raf's last collection, and the first season Diorever was released) - the boutique still has it. I'm (kinda) not too worried about the lamb skin leather (even the one on display has scratches but I think it this particular case enhanced the bag and gives it a true vintage vibe).
I think I need to go back and try the studded Diorama on with the right clothes and make sure I can pull it off.
Thank you!
You're not making this any easier but yes the navy is divine.
Like yourself, I like the taurillon leather (with smooth gussets) as well in the Diorever. They did change it to all smooth leather for Cruise 2017 or maybe Spring 2017 and now MGC made it textured leather all over with the suede interior (in this case, I don't like the suede lining as the suede will show wear when you flip the flap open (that's a mouthful!).
With the navy Diorama - It was actually what I asked my SA for but he couldn't get it in the boutique by the weekend so I tried on the black. I really should've gone with my instinct.
In a perfect world I'll get the Diorever AND the studded Diorama.
I'm also going to NYC for the weekend. Hopefully they have the navy there for me to try on...and I'm going to Woodbury Commons on Sunday, hoping to score some discounted Dior.
I'll make sure to take notes on what they have in stock.
The studded Diorama is amazing! Especially if they are able to get the navy combination. It would be smaller than your current one so you might find yourself reaching for it more.
Let us know what you find in NYC!
I think they’re different enough to justify both. The uses/occasions for each differ (though of course there’s overlap) enough that I’d keep both. Especially since the one you have is likely your favorite.
