I did hear the powder pink was limited edition for the spring/summer 2017 collection... I was hoping to find itMaybe it sold out since it was seasonsl and SA only knows about products that are available now... I happened to watch Shea Whitney's review of the bag, a youtuber, and fell in love with the color...

They are definitely two separate colours - Rose Poudre and Powder Pink. I found it odd too, but I confirmed this with my SA when I was deciding which Diorama to get. I was deciding between the old and new Rose Poudre - both are light pink, one in grained calfskin and one in supple grained calfskin. The more mauve colour is called Powder Pink, it is the colour of my Lady Dior and it also came in the Diorama but it sold out. Very confusing, but they are definitely two separate colours.

ETA: I saw both Rose Poudre bags in person when I was deciding which to buy and they were both a light pink, not mauve at all. The tag says Rose Poudre - the tag for my LD said Powder Pink.

BTW, I'm not saying that rose poudre(pale pink) is not beautiful, it's very pretty but I already own YSL wallet on chain in pale pink and Chanel rectangular mini chevron in pale pink as well. I think it's overkill to have too many baby pink bags, although i just love pink! Lol

I can confirm that rose poudre and powder pink are the same color dior has been using for years. Powder pink is just the literal traduction of rose poudré (check on google traduction). It might look different on à my lady dior because of the Lambskin and cannage quilted which gives a different shade and finish to the color.
You can check the color code, it's actually the same : M413

I know it is the literal translation, I live in Canada, I know what "rose poudre" means. But they are not the same colour as far as Dior is concerned. I have seen them side by side....they are two different colours.

Yes, it is a limited edition colour, whereas Rose Poudre is a colour that has been around for a while. If you watch Shea Whitney's video, you will see they are not the same at all.

I forgot to mention - the Powder Pink lady dior I was referring to is not a My Lady Dior, it is a Lady Dior medium in supple grained calfskin - the same leather as the Diorama. I have this Lady Dior and it is a mauve pink.

I was in the exact same position as you after watching Shea's video! I went on a hunt for the bag and ended up finding it in Singapore. As many of the other posters have already mentioned, Shea's color is Powder Pink. The color code is 40PU. I was so confused too, calling multiple boutiques and actually seeing a rose poudre in person. I can tell you with 100% certainty that these are two different colors. Here's a photo of rose poudre and powder pink side by side. My understanding is Powder Pink was seasonal and is sold out in the US, however the newly released Old Rose is very similar if you're looking for more of a mauve pink.

Perfect comparison pic! Thanks for sharing this! Strange how they chose the same name for both colours. In the past, Dior's colours were the same in French and translated in English (i.e. Bleu de Minuit is the same as Midnight Blue).

Oh thank you! I knew I wasn't crazy, lol. I kept calling different boutiques and kept hearing that it's the same bag:( I really wanted that specific color though... do I need any more pale pink colored bags? I already have 4....congrats in getting yours! do you live in Singapore? oh how I wish I can go there to get it, lol. This was my first Dior purchase, I was never really into Dior before, I might have to ask the SA to srnd me a photo of the old rose although I've read that it's only available in small from previous posts before mine. Size small won't do for me, I need a medium...sigh, I guess I have to return the bag once I get it, so disappointing. Can u post a photo of ur bag? If u don't mind, that is... thanks!

BTW, I did see a comment on Shea's instagram responding to someone asking whether it is still available and she wrote that she saw it... I'm not a big instagram person but I commented both on her insta and channel asking where so I can narrow down the bouriques to call and I never heard from her:( I wish that I didn't watch her video, lol. Then I wouldn't be lusting after that bag.

I'm so glad you have that photo!! Thanks for posting! It shows the difference between the two colours perfectly. And Old Rose is slightly darker than Powder Pink, but only comes in size small.

Maybe you could call Dior and get them to search the system for one? My SA easily does that when I'm looking for something and she can see the stock in Canada and the US.
