@averagejoe Question for you: Are the newer medium LDs more structured than older ones? I noticed that the current and more recent LDs have an extra row of stitching around the edges that older ones don't, or at least those I've seen from pre-loved sites. Was this added to strengthen the edges so they stay "sharper" and don't lose their shape as much?

The older Lady Dior bags had inside-out construction which meant that the front and side panels were stitched together on the inside. This made the Lady Dior look softer in appearance, and less able to maintain its structure. They started stitching it on the outside in 2012.

Wow, good to know. Thanks for this info. I'm hoping to buy a pre-loved LD this year and was wondering why I was seeing two different versions in the stitching. I will definitely keep this in mind when I shop.

pop by the store yesterday and was hoping to get a glimpse of the new SS22 green lady dior but apparently all the colours were sold out. My SA took out the calfskin LD and said that it will only be launch on 14th. Initially I thought the leather were made of plastic but apparently its calfskin :P The bag definitely feels heavier than the regular small LD. I have been back n forth LD for quite some time as I still feel weird that the handles doesnt drop down when sling.:biggrin:

Im still contemplating and wonder if I should wait for the revamp version during FW.

It's gorgeous! What is the new revamp for the LD, BTW? I wasn't aware of any revamp for FW. So curious! Please share! :)
 
Hi! I'm confused between the Dior Book Tote vs the Dior Lady D Lite Bag. Can anyone help me decide which one to get? I am looking for an everyday (day to night) bag.

If the Dior Book Tote new medium, should I get the oblique or the toile de jouy?

If the Dior Lady D Lite Bag, I plan to get the toile de jouy striped embroidery in medium.


PLEASE HELP

The Lady Dior D Lite has a removable shoulder strap whereas the Book Tote does not. Between the two, I prefer the Lady Dior D Lite as more of a day to night bag since it is smaller (24x20x11cm) than the new medium Book Tote (36.5x28x17.5 cm.)
