Hey Friends. I am new here! I need some help from my eagle eye diorama pals. I am living in Ireland - no Dior store anymore. I am hoping to buy a Diorama and have it shipped. Obviously this is a little scary not seeing it in person. I have looked at a few different powder pinks/nude/Champagne's. Some have suede lining, others don't - has anyone any idea why that is? Is it only some colours that have the suede? Thank you in advance x

The new soft grained calfskin versions from Maria Grazia Chiuri have suede lining. The older ones with the stiffer grained calfskin (which looks glossier) have fabric lining.

Was torn between these two bags.


Ended up getting the metallic on the left.

I keep thinking if I made the right decision. I loved both.

Can anyone tell me if this is part of a newer collection and if it will peel easily ?

Congratulations!!!

I think the one you got is the durable stiff grained calfskin version (the same used on the My Lady Dior in silver and gold), and it shouldn't peel because there isn't a patent layer on top.

Thank you AJ!

I posted some pics.

I noticed the threads to be a bit untidy on one end of the strap and a slight scuff on two of the edges.

I know it's minor, but I'm wondering if I should exchange for the other silver bag (although I'm not keen on the suede lining Bc it can stain ) or I don't even know right... very confused.

I personally like the suede lining because I think it is luxurious.

You should at least exchange it for another one in the same material (they can order one in for you from another boutique) because the scuffing on the edges is unacceptable. It is probably shop wear. If you like the soft grained calfskin in silver (the other one you were choosing between), then exchange for that.

Thanks for your thoughts.

Do you know if the bag I have now is a recent collection?

Which one can better match the items in your wardrobe?

The blue looks more fun and makes more of a statement, but the black is more practical in the long run because as a darker colour it won't show stains and colour transfer as easily.
