I bought one Lady Dior, lambskin w gold hardware in Melbourne for 3700 AUD. from my own experience, I love this bag so much. Its beautiful and classic ! However, I do find its hard to put my hands or my wallets in and out of the bags !!!! That is my thought for your problem #1 I totally agree. You would need a small flat wallet rather than a long thick clutch which would not fits in!
2- lambskin leather is soooo beautiful. It look amazing but for sure its harder to maintain and keep its shape over time like the patent leather. However, the look and quality of lambskin is so amazing and its not too glossy as patent leather which show how luxurious it is !
3- I think the bag size looks perfect and proportional to your body frame. It is not too big for u!
4- yep, if you have a few classic bags like Dior and Chanel, may be you should try different colors rather than black ! which brighten your wardrobe a bit more. Theres not many colors in Chanel but you def can find a lots of different beautiful colors in Dior handbags
Hope that helps
Hi there, I'm in Melbourne too! Bought from David Jones at $3700 as well
Thank you so much for your input! i think i will switch my big wallet to a Lady Dior Rendez Vous Wallet in Black Patent I purchased on the same day. I think it is not too 'chubby'. hehe
Thank you again for your kind comments. I think I'll run to the boutique tomorrow and grab the yellow as well as the dark pinkish colour!!! Dreaming about it all weekend. hehe
