Hi all,

I'm so sorry, I don't mean to spam this forum (mods, please feel free to delete my previous post if necessary).

I just spoke with an SA that the lovely member, @baghagg referred me to and apparently this particular style is not available in the US?

Does anyone know how I might be able to get my hands on this (if I can get it from a boutique overseas or something)? I'm including some references from a YouTuber (Lailli Mirza)'s video, where I saw it. Of course, as soon as I work up the nerve to stray from my Chanel wishlist and make this purchase, it's not available...just my luck :doh:

Thank you! :flowers:

Hey! I have also desperately been searching for the mini lady in Fard, but it is confirmed by Dior customer service as well as my Dior SA that it is NOT available in the US and is not projected to come back anytime soon So i’d suggest finding someone to buy it for you in europe and hand carry it back! unless you go there yourself. I’m so bummed, i hate the metallic lotus one and adore the matte fard color. Oh well!

I am also desperately looking for this bag :angel::confused1: and I am actually from Europe (Germany) … The mini LD in Fard was removed from the German website in around September or October I think and now I am waiting for it to come back :sad: I would really like to know what’s going on because I thought this was a permanent color combination :amazed:

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong but apart from black, none of the colours are really permanent. Even grey, a signature Dior colour, returns in varying shades. I see Fard as one of those shades which are popular and might stay for a few seasons, but eventually it too will be rotated, possibly to keep demand coming for exclusive season-specific colours.

Your best option, if you're still interested in looking for the Fard mini LD is to contact customer service to see if they can locate any store that has it in stock and will be willing to ship it to your country. Bear in mind though that if they can do that, in the past I've been told I would be required to pay for international shipping and customs fees myself. I once tried to ask an SA in NY about a bag and if they could send it to me in the UK but they could only accept payment from a card with a US billing address and send it to another US address. Other stores worldwide might have the same policy

Customer service told me that they could not send from a store outside of the country and they actually suggested that I ask someone I know to buy it and hand carry it for me back to the states. :sad:

That sounds about right, I enquired about a bag for my sister-in-law who didn't want the bag in the end. But what you're told was what was explained to me too. The plan I had in mind, if she had wanted it, was to give my friend the money to purchase the bag on my behalf, have it sent to her own address in the US and then post it expedited directly to my SIL

I was told last year that an SA could sell and send internationally but it would have to be wire transfer plus shipping and duties in advance (but this was for RTW) and may only be for current known customers IDK

for bags, I was told that there are two custom bag programs where you can basically choose whatever you want, but I dont know the upcharge for this

Sorry to hear you're having trouble finding this color! The mini in blush/fard isn't available on the Australian website either so I wasn't planning on getting it but picked mine up in store. It must have been someone else's return which would explain how it was available, someone's change of mind is my gain I guess!
If only I didn't get attached to this color I would have been happy to take it to the states :sad:

Was able to get a mini in fard via a personal shopper based in Italy but she even said that I got the very last one in all of Italy and her SA tracked it down all the way from Cortina, Italy a far resort area from her (She's based in Milan). Been hunting this one for quite a while now too! But it's still not with me. Patiently waiting. Although I always see it available in small (ABCDior). Hope you catch this pokemon as well soon! Maybe they'll reproduce more after the price increase.

Can you please DM the name of the personal shopper? It’s good to have good contacts in Europe :biggrin:
