I’d be careful about storing bags in acrylic boxes in high humidity because the boxes can trap moisture. I live in an area of high humidity during the summer and I put DampRid moisture absorbing tubs in all my closets during the summer. I’m not sure if you have this in Singapore but maybe you have something that works similarly.

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.

I've a similar experience living in a humid climate. My patent lady dior developed that stickiness after 6ish years or so (I also had this problem with patent shoes). Even if the stickiness isn't that obvious to the touch, dust starts getting stuck to the surface making it look dirty. My patent lady dior also then started to crack and peel after around 10 years. This is notwithstanding that it was stored in a cool dark closet with moisture absorbers and in a room where the air conditioning is turned on every night. I've stopped buying anything patent no matter how appealing the item might be.

On the other hand, my lambskin lady diors have held up very well so far - I would suggest going with lambskin instead of patent.

I don’t own patent Dior but my patent LV all have stickiness and depending on the colour, can develop a yellowish tint. Personally I wouldn’t risk it - it’s a lot of money for a bag that may not hold up as you’d expect it to.

More stock should be coming in.
Also, you can ask to look, or be informed of any limited edition lady Diors coming in. The Dior buyer (when I met her in a trunk show) showed me pics of the bags released for the holiday season which will arrive a fortnight or so before Xmas.Might have a color. The initial cruise collection is also trickling in with other colors.

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

I have an around the world embroidery canvas LD. I got it when it first came out. It’s one of my most durable bags. Its dark color hides wear and tear, but hasn’t gotten shiny with age. The off white designs Somehow have not discolored at all. It can go through some drizzle without a problem or through weather conditions where I would hesitate to bring a leather bag out. . Zero pilling. These fabric bags are durable. Even the flap over the top is super sturdy. The matte black charms re also pretty sturdy, no chipping. JMO :smile:

Nope. It was on her laptop. She is a Dior buyer for our region ( as the Dior staff who chooses the merchandise from the Dior HQ stock to sell in the local Dior boutiques here).

She was at the trunk show to get an idea of what we, customers, want to pre-order from Dior cruise collection 2023 and get feedback on what we want (e.g. bigger sizing, more exciting products etc). Then again, I think she spoke to me , and others, because the Dior SAs, stylists and SM are familiar with us ( first name basis). My store is actually a very relaxed and friendly one despite being a flagship one for ladies wear.

If you are a first time buyer, and if you can, go to the local flagships aka the big stores, you get more choices. Small ones don’t have so many. If you have a friendly SA, have a nice chat about what your style is. Gucci, Dior and Hermes have SAs who know what I like and (have a high chance of buying). They contact me when stock comes in or when there are events (aka prelaunch preview).

Ive decided to get cherry red patent still cos all other colors now in lambskin is not what i like. And ive paid my PS in europe cant let him hold my money for too long can u advise me what else i can do to care for patent?

I will get the damprid thing. Where do i put it? Just a corner of my wardrobe space or beside the bag? Do i clean it after every use? Keep in dustbag and away from other bags?

All my other bags are lambskin and canvas other brands all in separate cubhole and in the acrylic display boxes. Never had patent before, so probably cos i want something unique so bad that i decided on patent. And its too pretty too.

I'm not best placed to dispense advice as I've not managed to successfully maintain patent. But yes very important to make sure it is kept away from other items, to prevent colour transfer. I had this issue twice with shoes - beige and light blue patent shoes got stained black because they came into contact with black shoes. This is irreversible - to my knowledge the only option if that happens is to have the entire item stained black.

I've not actually done research into this, but I sometimes wonder whether overdoing the dehumidifiers / moisture absorbers may cause the leather to become dry and crack.
