Both my dioramas are medium size as I felt a more practical size then the little one which I found did not hold sunglasses as well as I would have liked. Cinnamon sounds interesting like a dark brown or deep rusty colour?

Sorry my photos turned out so massive, posted them from my phone - normally I post smaller ones - oops (these were shared on my Instagram account too- Luv_iz_Luxury) so you can see more photos on there. Hugs xx
Thanks for your reply! Shall wait for my cousin then€2750 plus tax refunds of 10-12%
I LOVE these large pictures. Please don't make them smaller. Bigger pictures are better for appreciating your good photography skills.
You have made me chuckle, I normally downsize pics for TPF as I am always on my Mac Book, but for a change I posted these using my iPhone and didnt realise they would take up so much screen real estate - but if you are happy with the size, I shall leave them as they are. I guess they do show the details nice. Thank you for your nice comments.I LOVE these large pictures. Please don't make them smaller.

I agree, Diorama bags are so lady like, I think that is why I like them so much. The very first time I saw them I thought that and did not think I would ever have two in my collection !!
Does this only happen if you fill up your bag? The leather is relatively soft on the sides (compared to the front and back) so anything inside can push the sides outward in a conforming shape.
If you don't want this to happen, then strategically place a small thin packet of napkins on each side so that the contents of your purse won't show on the sides.
If the bag is like this even empty, then it means that the paper stuffing inside (that used to be there in the boutique) has pushed the sides out irregularly. To fix this, store the bag between uses without stuffing it with paper all the way to the sides. You can even push the sides in before storage.
Yes - both of mine a little like this too, it is just because the leather is soft. My daughter has a Chanel boy bag in Lamb and it is similar.
Believe it or not I've returned the 2 lovely black and white dioramas I bought this week for this reason. (And posted here). The leather for me was a little thin and flimsy and especially on white - it seemed like this would show up (bag ingredient/ spatial engineering woes) too much. I've got 4 Chanel boys in different sizes but 3 in sturdy calf leather, (with chains and all that around) one in lamb, and the calf can take an absolute beating and look like you've never used them. These were a little more delicate for me for the purpose I would be using them for, and I don't want to baby my everyday bags.
I wondered about the crackled deerskin or the club bags - maybe the leather was hardier?
I instead opted for 4 promenade pouches. I am confident in the wear of them and what I use them for.
Yours might just need a little rehabilitating and TLC [emoji856]. It is a beautiful color though!
I see what you mean by it being caused by the leather being softer on the sides. One side is fine when the bag is empty, but the other side has "bubbles" -- the leather surface has been pressed out of shape, probably due to storage, and it just pops back out even if I press it in. I can live with it, good to know that it's due to the nature of the leather and not because of a defect!
Thanks guys!
What color are your two " new" Promenade pouches? I have one in gold metallic and love it. It's a great size and very user- friendly. Did you have an opportunity to see the crackled deerskin Dioramas in the boutique? What were your thoughts? Would they withstand use for days/ weeks at a time? Thanks!
Why not try a purse organizer? Helps to keep the bag's inside pristine, too. Make sure to get the right size organizer. Here's a rundown:

Hi Havanese! I got 4 will attach pics below (sorry for photobombing the diorama thread with promenades!). Taking them on a long cruise here in a couple of weeks. I won't be at a boutique again until Europe maybe (are there boutiques in Lisbon or Barcelona?), if not then Vegas or Dallas in October. I will check it all out. By then though, it will be interesting to see how the new designer takes any of this in the same or embellished or different direction as the first show is in Sept? Just from seeing the deerskin online, it looks a little stiffer than the grained calf. I think the grained calf won't wear down per se, but it's just so soft and molds almost too well for a structured bag.
But alas, the classic cannage can do no wrong....
