I'm sooo in love with the diorama gold and I looooove the dior service.. the SA was sooo nice .. I was sooo tempted to buy it..my husband and I said it would have been bette to buy the diorama instead of the chanel double flap bag jumbo which I bought 2 months ago just because the service was sooo great and much better than the chanel service in Austria..... This bag with this leather is on my wish list I love the metalic look.. does the diorama with this special leather has any cons?? color transfer? does it keep its shape? thank you for the info

I have this bag in the metallic silver and it has been very durable and I have not had colour transfer issues. The only thing is there is some corner wear because like averagejoe mentioned it is delicate. However I have regrets with my purchase. It is such a stunning bag.

Do you regret it because of the wear and tear or because of another reason`?

This design definitely keeps its shape. However, the perforated metallic leather is on the delicate side. The perforations expose the leather and make it susceptible to peeling around some perforations where there is a lot of rubbing. If you are careful with the bag and avoid rubbing the corners and parts that protrude, then this shouldn't happen.

I would mainly use it as crossbody or hanging on my shoulder with the longer drop.. so I would not double the chain.. so this means it would get quicker wear and tear or?

Your experience and thoughts sounds exactly like mine!! The micro cannage is so stunning in person. I wasn't even eyeing it but when I saw it in the store I couldn't take my eyes off it! And the customer service is seriously the best best! Not pushy but friendly and sincere. :smile:. Even after I got my bag, (I didn't get the metallic though, went for a pink.. first :p), my SA has still been really patient and helpful. I also love that I can bring my bag to Dior for polishing!

What do you mean with polishing? the hardware ? Does Dior do it for free??

Not necessarily. If your clothes are on the rough side (i.e. denim), and your bag swings constantly when you walk, then there may be a fit of peeling at the back, although I don't think that's the problem. Most people are showing the peeling at corners of the bag, so just be careful not to rub the corners and your bag should be fine. Not everyone who has the perforated micro-Cannage is experiencing this problem either.

Any tips on maintaining the shape of the diorama? Im storing then With the original stuffing and little card inserts. Main concern would be the sides where the leather us softer. . Or is it meant to look relaxed at the side? My bag was half full when the picture was taken. Thanks !

My local bouque does leather polishing for free. I'm not sure if it's only for a X years after the date of purchase though!

I just bit the bullet and ordered my first Diorama in medium grey with the fabric lining. My personal shopper ended up getting me a fantastic deal on it, ordered and shipped from Saks NY for US$2970 including tax and shipping. Thankfully they still had the grey one with the fabric lining, so I had to act quickly before all of the older models sell out. I'll report back when I receive it, I'm so excited to say that I think my bag collection is now complete.

It's meant to be soft on the sides so you can fill up the bag more. However, if it bugs you, then I suggest using the card inserts that came with the bag for the sides, or cut out new ones, and keep them in there. Not sure if it will prevent the bulging.

I'm curious, why did you seek out the older model?

I don't like the suede interior, and I prefer my bags to be super durable and carefree, and the I personally think the newer, suppler leather is too delicate.

I agree. My dream bag is the older model in grey but in size Small (maybe it never existed as I only ever come across the Medium). Also, the older model has the enamel detail on the clasp but the new one is plain metal and not as beautiful, in my opinion.
