This is on the top of my wishlist, but am so worried abt color transfer or the metallic leather wearing over time. Its so so stunning though! Would love to hear your thoughts after wearing it.

I have the classic grey diorama in the large size with silver hardware and it is my everday bag for work. Love the durability of the grained leather, but interested in a smaller diorama for evenings out. Debating between this silver with champagne hardware, black, or the light pink. Thoughts anyone?

I share the same concern as you. Not sure if the metallic will wear off and the SA assured me that I can always bring it back to Dior. She further added that it's Pearl Colour and not metallic?

Will definitely let me know how it wears:)

This is absolutely beautiful! You made an excellent choice! This is so subdued and elegant in the silver/ pale gold hardware. I'd imagine this beauty pairs well with most everything. Very special bag. Congrats!

Thank you!! It's a special bag and took the SA quite a while to present me with it when she saw me struggling to find a Diorama of my liking. I was also considering between the grey tone cracked ceramic version which everyone discouraged me from getting. That was quite a special bag too IMO[emoji57][emoji57]

Pearl colours and metallic colours often have the same finish. The sheen comes from waxes with silica and/or other light-reflecting particles applied to the surface of the leather.

Hi everyone :smile:
I was hoping to get some advice from you lovely people as it is my first time purchasing a Dior bag (I am normally a Chanel girl but have fallen in love with the Diorama!!).

i have seen the bag in three different colours and have no idea which to pick!!

- powder pink (which comes with a choice of silver or champagne gold hardware)

- powder beige (champagne hardware)

- nude (champagne hardware)

I am after a fairly neutral bag as I tend to stick to dark colours usually and want to mix up my wardrobe!! I have already purchased the mitzah initial scarf shown in one of the pictures

Thanks in advance xxxx

I like the powder beige with champagne hardware the best of the three you posted.

It appears the powder beige one is the same one I've just purchased and I love it. The leather is calf skin with a different grain and the lining is suede. I love it! Will post photos later tonight in case it helps. The nude one looks stunning though. Something about that champagne hardware that I love!

I had been wanted a black Chanel boy for quite some time. Every time I visit the store not prepared to buy I see something I like, when I'm ready to buy there's never anything in sight that I like. Anyway, after being disappointed with Chanel and being told that boys are not part of their permanent collection and it really come down to luck, I was wandering back and stumbled on Dior. I must admit a lot of the Dior styles aren't "me", but I immediately fell in love with a bag on display and knew I had to get my hands on it.

Long story short, I've never made such a large, impulsive purchase before (I like to research before I buy). But couldn't help myself with this one [emoji85] I'm pleased to report that I don't regret it (though I still want the boy [emoji51]).

The leather is beautiful, I love the champagne gold hardware and the colour is versatile. The SA said it was a seasonal colour and the new version with calfskin and suede lining. Feels soft but looks luxe.

The staff at the Melbourne Collins st store were amazing. Very friendly and made it a great experience. Can't recommend them enough!
