So....I've been looking (and buying chanel) hunting down a boy but was wandering around today and saw a gorgy handbag on someone's shoulder. I thought I saw it in the window of Dior so off I trotted. Sure enough it was this very unique and unusual design. I'm very pregnant, somewhat delirious,image.jpg image.jpg and not very good at making decisions at the moment so turning to you ladies for advice.
Thoughts on this Diorama....is it super hot or a bit out there and likely to go out of style very quickly. I love that the colour will go with everything and that is just so different but just not sure whether it's just to out there...if anyone has any modelling pics that would help...
Excuse my very pregnant ness!
Also, do you think this bag will hold its value (as I know chanels do). Thanks ladies, hoping for some expert Dior lovers advice x

It is gorgeous! It isn't out there at all. The bag looks classy with great attention to detail. There are a bunch of modelling pics of this particular gold version throughout the Dior forum. Try going through this thread: https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/diorama-pictures-only.893499/

There should be some mod shots there too.

As for resale value, unfortunately Dior bags don't retain their value, so if resale value is important, then the Diorama is not a good option. While I think resale value is important for those who like to sell their pieces later on to fund new purchases, if you find a beautiful bag that speaks to you, then you should get it even if the resale value is low. Most of my bags have low resale value, but I still love them because the designs really speak to me.

Wow!! Thanks for the feedback and advice, and for inking that thread! I really liked it just wasn't sure. I've def been drooling over peoples pics. Resale isn't all that important as I don't intend on selling my bags, only if you make a bad decision! I just loved the champagne and could see it working with so many outfits. I might have to get me my first diorama! How exciting c

Glad to be of help! The Diorama is a wonderful bag, and currently a Dior bestseller alongside the Lady Dior. It is especially stunning in champagne gold.

I heard that it has gotten better (manufacturing-wise). There were problems with lifting and peeling before. Since the one you want is not the WOC, then you shouldn't have problems with it as long as you avoid rubbing the material. The WOC version has the chain clasp digging into the flap, so over time, that part may show a small crack. However, the one you want has a sliding chain, so that won't happen to it.

yes, I share the same sentiment. I buy a bag because I love it without ever thinking to sell it..

I think I just don't trust my decision making skills at the moment. Nearly 39weeks pregnant and deliriously tired! I haven't slept properly in months and Id never seen it before. Going to go back and have another look and play today. Also hard to imagine how the bag will look minus a massive bump!!

Surviving pregnancy is reason enough to treat yourself to the bag!!!! [emoji3]
 
Does anyone know if the Diorama wallet on chain pouch is being discontinued? It is showing as unavailable on the UK website and customer services could only tell me that it is available in store at the moment and nothing about whether it might be restocked on the website

It is on the UK website right now:
https://www.dior.com/couture/en_gb/...ed-lambskin-with-large-cannage-design-6-47305

It's not under the Diorama page, but the small leather goods page.

It is not being discontinued. It is highly successful, and new versions of it are coming out this season.
