Hi. What's the color name of the one on the right? I'm sorry if this question has been asked.

I think it is the same Powder Beige @emilykj mentioned in the post right before yours .

There seems to be two names going around for this colour on the forum. I think the official name is Powder Pink but I can be wrong. Maybe it's actually two different shades but they look so similar in the pictures.

I asked my SA about the proper name for the Powder Pink/Powder Beige colour and she said it is Powder Pink (this is the colour name for my medium LD). But I think this picture is of a newer colour called Old Rose....I saw this posted on the Dior Facebook group and that is what the tag said. They sure do make these colour names confusing!!

The color on the right is "old rose" which was just released for fall/winter. It's only available in the small size and I'm told it is very similar to powder pink, just a tad darker/more mauve. The graining is also more pronounced than the powder pink. Here's another picture of old rose close up. HTH!

I think you're right . The powder pink product code is 40PU, so if anyone has powder beige, can you please confirm that they're the same color? Thanks!

hello! (i hope i'm doing this right as i'm new to tpf )
just wanted to ask opinions on which one to get for the diorama woc pouch. the studded one is so beautiful and the color is gorgeous, but the lambskin worries me a little. does anyone who owns it know that it will be high maintenance or no? the SA told me its only high maintenance for the lighter colors but i'm not sure what that means.
the calfskin navy blue one is also very pretty, but i own a lot of navy blue clothing and black bags and wanted to try something different, haha. but i love how it can be used as a more casual bag without the studs... TIA!!

The studded one is gorgeousssss!!!!! I've seen this version but in another colour in real life. I don't think lambskin will be a problem because Dior lambskin holds up really well.
What your SA means about lighter colours is that they get dirty easily. This won't be a problem with these though. I'd say get the studded one. It's very unique and the colour though

Thank you so much for your feedback!! I went for the studded one! But now that i'm looking at it, the middle clasp looks a little crooked....does it look like that to any of you?? i don't know if i just made that up in my head and can't unsee it or it really is crooked...

thank you!!

How much can you fit in the small vs the medium? That Old Rose is gorgeous

You made the right choice with the studded one. Congratulations!

I wouldn't have seen the crookedness if you didn't point it out. I can see it now. It's quite minor, and it looks to be so because the 3-D Cannage pattern on the right side (from the perspective of the picture) is cut a bit shorter (or ends a bit too early) next to the lock than the left side.

If this bothers you, then I suggest exchanging it. They may be able to order another piece in for you from a different boutique if you bought the last one in stock at your local boutique.

Thank you so much for your advice!!! I actually took it to the boutique today, and they had several in stock that they brought out to let me compare. but they all looked little crooked on the right side/what you suggested with the right 3D design being a tad bit shorter...in the end I just kept the one I already had because it seemed most minor/the clasp hardware on the other ones had "fatter" borders - i had no idea that even the hardware was handmade and therefore no two are the same (!!) - and i didn't really like the look of the thicker outline..

The SA told me that because they are handmade they will all have these types of "imperfections" that make it art - i understand that, but at 1400 GBP i must say i was a little disappointed to have to swallow these "flaws".... the bag is beautiful regardless, so i'm hoping that with a few uses i won't even notice it

It's definitely still a beauty. Since the WOC is hand-made, it relies on the human eye as well as stencils to ensure that everything is in place, and this is so minor that I wouldn't consider it a flaw because it's almost impossible to tell with the eye.

I got to see this colour in person on Friday, it is gorgeous!! I was so tempted by it, even though I already have a Powder Pink LD!

I've noticed Dior has some of the most beautiful pink/blush/nude shades of any designer. I wish I could have them all, but I'll settle for one .

I saw a poster posted this diorama woc. I seriously love this combination a lot. I'm wondering if Dior makes this exact combination in the small size. Does anyone know? Thank you!
