Hello Everyone,

I was wondering for those who have a Cannage pattern Diorama bag in patent leather or calf skin leather can share their experience in the wear and tare, and any anticipated quality issues? I'm planning to purchase a neutral colour cannage pattern diorama bag and it'll be my first designer bag purchase. I plan on using the bag as an casual going out purse on weekends. Would any of you mind sharing your experience, wear, quality, and longevity of the bag? Any concerns i should keep my eye for (e.g. easy to have water stains etc.)

Thanks!

I bought a patent Cannage medium Diorama in the metallic blue-silver in London in May... only a few months of use, but I took it with me to Hawaii for 2 weeks in June along with my black Chanel Boy, and to my surprise, reached for the Dior more often than the Chanel. The patent Cannage is very stiff, which makes it wear well and it’s pretty water repellent—I didn’t have any problems when we were caught in light showers walking to dinner. The downside to the stiffness and structure is that you cannot overstuff this bag—it fits what it fits and that’s it, for me I can fit an Hermes cardholder, Keys, iPhone X, small makeup pouch shaped like a pencil case, and sunglasses without case. I absolutely love this bag and highly recommend it in the patent Cannage, I think it will wear extremely well and is very durable. Like the Boy, you can wear it crossbody or double the chain to wear as a shoulder bag.

I posted earlier about my original plan on getting a LD in large size. Upon seeing the bag in person, my heart didn’t sing...
I went to another location in Hawaii and asked about the Diorama in medium size. The SA pulled this one out from their back store. I knew it is meant to be!
I am relatively new to DIOR, and this is my 2nd bag. Both are in fard color, which I totally adore as its pretty neutral and feminine at the same time. Thanks for letting me share :)

Congratulations! You got one of the newer ones with the rigid grained calfskin which I really like! It is quite hard-wearing.

I have a light blue calfskin Diorama, and it seems very durable but I don’t wear it as much because the leather seems more delicate and I’m scared of color transfer. I also have both a metallic rose gold microcannage WOC and a metallic graphite microcannage diorama and they hold up wonderfully. Very stiff like others have said, but seem like they are indestructible. Both also are versatile in that they can dress up a casual outfit and also look nice for a fancier occasion

Thanks for the info (I am a newbie to DIOR so I didn’t know my diorama is in rigid grained calfskin). I have been carrying her non stop these past few days. I am so happy with the durability and beauty of this leather / color / craftsmanship.

Does Diorama come in Denim blue?
Has anyone seen it in person?
I want a indigo navy diorama but when my SA sent me the picture, it's a little too dark to my liking. I originally wanted the grey color more but it's no longer available. It looks like i dont have too many options.

Wait for the color you love. Dior always have similar color tone coming back. :)
 
Does anyone know how to straighten the shoulder strap? I just purchased this one and they had it folded inside. Also, has anyone seen this color? I was looking for the silver one in small and they had this. It’s not the all silver version I had seen before...

I think most of them are probably stored like that. Mine was. Although mine isn’t patent, I would think that once you start using the bag with things in it the weight will straighten the strap so it won’t be noticeable when being worn.

It's a gorgeous bag ♡ You can wear it with gold and silver jewellery so it's even more versatile than a purely silver one!

You could try to store your bag hanging from up for a while so its weight might straighten the strap, too.
