I have the lambskin medium Lady Dior, but have also tried the small, and came close to purchasing it. I prefer the medium because of the classic size, and also the extra space. But the small could also easily hold my essentials like mid-sized wallet, phone, keys, mini sanitizer and lipstick. Both sizes are good options. Honestly, trying on in person is the best option before deciding on a purchase, but I understand the constraints of not living close to boutiques. I think the grained leather would be pretty sturdy. If you usually don't carry much, and prefer crossbody bags, then perhaps the small is the better choice for you.

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.

Hi! I was just browsing this thread and came across your post. Could you share your experience with the LD in grained calfskin vs lambskin? Is the former more durable and sturdier?
I’d appreciate it!! Thanks!

I didn't end up getting the leather LD. I got the wicker LD since I wanted something more "fun" as my current bag collection leans very classic. I didn't even know Dior makes calfskin LDs. As far as I know, Dior only currently sells lambskin LDs.

Hello!
Does anyone know from personal experience if the Lady D-Lite's pill over time? I was considering purchasing one but if they get all weird and pilly, I might just go the Lady Dior route instead.
Sorry if this is the wrong area for this. I wasn't sure if the Lady D-Lite counts as a Lady Dior model or not.

To me, D-lite is the embroidered canvas version of the leather lady dior so yes, it is a lady Dior in a way.

My sister has been working in Singapore for over a decade. Her old deep red patent Dior develop a sort of stickiness after ten years in its box/out of box/ paulownia tansu despite an air con and chemical dehumidifiers, with the standard cool dark area. She always complains about the returning stickiness after she tried cleaning it with patent leather lotion. It goes off after cleaning and then returns soon after. Degrading patent is something which can’t be avoided.

Unfortunately I can’t help her since I don’t own patent but high heat and humidity are constant issues (mold heaven) in Singapore which you need to consider.
