Lady Dior clubhouse

I'm thinking about getting my first Lady Dior - but I can't decide whether to get the classic black lambskin (https://www.dior.com/en_us/products...0-medium-lady-dior-bag-black-cannage-lambskin) or the new beautiful wicker style (https://www.dior.com/en_us/products...natural-wicker-and-blue-dior-oblique-jacquard). Obviously the classic black lambskin is more classic, timeless, and higher resale value (I don't care much about resale value as I don't plan to sell), but the wicker style is so unique and beautiful. I don't mind much that it's a Spring/Summer bag as I have other leather bags I can use for the colder weather. My only other Dior bag is a Black Grained Leather Saddle Bag.

Thoughts? I'm leaning towards the wicker Lady Dior but could be convinced otherwise... My SA told me that the Wicker Lady Dior is limited with most boutiques only getting one and he showed me a screenshot with only 20 more available in the whole U.S. after only 2 days of being available. That limited availability does make me want it too... hah.

I agree if you like the wicker then go for that, although I do know that the word 'limited' has a big bearing on my decision making. I tend to prefer limited edition pieces black is classic, but what might help you decide is to think about what outfits you'll be wearing when using the bag. You could put on what would be a typical outfit for you and wear it to the store so you can see which bag suits your style best?

Hi! It was $345 to get all the hardware replaced. As long as the item is authentic you don’t need anything other than the bag. I didn’t tell them I got it preloved. I just said it was a gift and I didn’t have the authenticity card. It took 8 weeks for the repair and it made a huge difference. They even tied the mitzah scarf around my handles. So bottom line if it’s an Authentic Dior item they have to take it in. I had a previos purchase history (my dwey slides and a mitzah, don’t know if that helped)

Thank you so much for sharing. I just purchased a preloved LD- while it is in great condition, the previous owner left the stickers on it which caused some of the hardware to discolor. Overall I love the bag but it’s good to know that Dior will still be willing to work on it if needed.

Congratulations! It looks beautiful. Can you post a photo of the discolored hardware? I wonder if there is some special cleaner that could restore it to its previous condition.

Some of it might polish out. I was dying to take her out for a spin and only out in a minimal effort. There is one tarnish spot where the metal is still shiny and one where it has degraded the metal. Putting in both pics. —

Thank you. Luckily, it is barely noticeable and looks as if it can be restored. I had no idea that leaving the stickers on would cause this. Otherwise, the bag is in excellent condition. Enjoy it!

I think if you leave the stickers on for a short time it will not damage but my Lady is 9 years old. In my opinion she doesn’t look a day over 1.

I say go with what makes your heart sing! I felt similarly with the gold oblique book tote and debated something more classic but like you said, the “limited availability” definitely intrigued me more and it sounds like you already have great options for other leather bags during the colder months.

The wicker is so beautiful. I agree though that you should just go with your heart.

Thank you all! I will keep you all updated with a pic of which one I end up getting

I suggest cleaning it with a Q-tip wet with a bit of Windex. You can rub the Q-tip on it bit not too hard, as it can scratch the metal.

Thank you! I will give it a try.

Actually, if you use a microfiber eyeglasses cloth instead, but make sure that you only wet a tiny spot on it with Windex (make sure none of the Windex touches the leather), then the risk of scratching will be even less.

+1! I tend to prefer limited edition pieces myself
