Guys. Please help me choose. I'll be getting a Diorama tomorrow since I visit a boutique today and reserved for a blue Diorama in grained leather. But now I'm having second thoughts about the color. Do you think Diorama in blue would be practical and wearable as time goes? This is gonna be my first blue bag which I'm not sure how to wear it. I always prefer understated and classic bags and most of my designer bags are either in black and grey. Bags that go well with my clothing style: minimal, white or navy blue shirts, black trousers and white loafers. Do you think the blue Diorama would go well with my style? Thank you!

Note: I've always wanted a grey one but I was told that it's not available in Asia yet. I've checked with boutiques in Hong Kong, Singapore and Thailand. And they said they've never seen the grey ones available in their stores before. So, blue and black are choices left. Black is a safer choice but I'm just sick of bags in black at the moment. Other colors available are bright red, crimson red, yellow, brown and green.

I think that navy is divine! I would have gone navy instead of my grey Diorama if I hadn't already had soooooo many blue bags. I'm surprised they don't have the Gris color though it's been out since fall 2016?? However Navy is a great alternative to black and I think will make a great option. The crimson red could also be nice, especially with the color way of your wardrobe.

Let us know what you end up with!

Thank you for your suggestion. I think the official name of this blue is "Bleu De Minuit". The blue one fits my outgoing character and it makes me look younger and approachable while the crimson red gives me a classy and mature vibe by wearing it. I'll try it on once again before making a purchase.

I'm surprised too since Dior considers Gris as a timeless piece. So, I asked an SA in Thailand if they could help me order a Gris from Europe or the US. But she said they aren't allowed to order products from other countries besides Dior Hong Kong. It will handle the request and find bags that are available in Asia only. I don't think I'll visit Europe or the US some time soon. So, I think I can't wait any longer since I've had eye on Diorama for over a year now.

Blue de Midnuit is a beautiful color and very neutral. It will go with everything and is the same idea as the Gris just in a dark color way! Definitely will go well with a lot.

Blue is a great neutral, and since you don't have any blue bags, then I say go for it! The blue isn't too vibrant which makes it relatively neutral compared to other blues.

Hey, I'm just back from the shopping spree! I finally made the first purchase for a Dior bag.
After so much debated with myself, I decided to go with the blue as everyone has suggested! Thank you all again for the advice.
I also want to make sure that I'll be happily using this bag on many occasions as possible. So, I bought new outfits in navy blue, light blue and white colors which would match well with the bag. lol
