Just bought my first Lady Dior in white (‘latte’) ! It’s gorgeous, but when I took it home I got the nagging feeling that the price of the small is a bit steep given the size, the risk of white getting dirty, and the fact that this bag doesn’t hold its value as well on the second hand market..Dior’s boutique return policy is exchanges only right ? Help me rationalise ?
I can't attest to the durability of the white Lady Dior (which BTW is gorgeous, congratulations!) but if you look at resale sites recently, the value of pre-owned Dior bags has gone up substantially, especially in the smaller sizes. I just bought a new Lady Dior and beforehand thought to look at resale options and it didn't seem to me to be worth it. Just my 2 cents.
Personally, I feel like the Lady Dior holds its value better than common perception. The prices increase every year. So much so that I'm looking for a pre-loved one currently and I would pay the original price for a 2012 or 2013 one in good condition - original price as in the same as what it sold for in store at that time (so the original owner could potentially have used it for free this whole time). And I would also pay the same price for a 2010 or 2011 one in good condition, meaning that the original owner would make a profit.
Yes, there's probably a smaller pool of potential buyers who don't mind a 10 year old bag (or older) but it's a classic after all. If you are willing to hold onto it for a few years and keep it in good condition, I think you might be surprised at how much it's worth secondhand should you decide to part with it.
More importantly, I'm a believer in buying bags that I love and will wear, for as long as possible. Resale value is a minor factor most of the time.
WOW! that IS stunning! are you in the USA? what is the price? I wonder if I can find one!
Is it normal for medium lady diors to not come with a swan dust bag? I purchase mine in December at the boutique but got a regular white dust bag
I thought I read somewhere that they stopped giving out the swan dustbag with Lady Diors? I got my LD in January, but got both dustbags. Maybe it depends on if the boutique still has them?
My medium LD (purchased in October from the boutique) also came in a white dust bag. No swan, just DIOR in gold.
This is absolutely gorgeous - congratulations!
