Have you considered the Celine Box? I think that it is a wonderful bag that is now instantly recognizable, and doesn't have an obvious logo. I think it looks incredible, and is one of those styles that will look timeless even if the bag is discontinued.

Thanks for the suggestion. It’s certainly a classic bag. But, I’m not much for the equestrian / restrained look of the Box. It’s the reason I don’t buy Hermès. I just don’t like how they look.

I prefer a more feminine, special, glam look to my bags. Not necessarily as frothy as the bag I just shared. :lol:But, something a bit “more” than the Box.

Hi ladies!

I am new to this blog!

I love the diorama such a beautiful bag. About a year ago I bought the diorama pouch microcannage calfskin in silver similar sizing to the Chanel WOC. I loved it so much I decided to buy it a bigger version. Unfortunately I couldn’t buy from the Dior boutique as the SA said it’s discontinued. I ended up buying Diorama microcannage Metallic Calfskin (Red) with gold hardware from Vestiaire collective.

Does anyone’s know if that bag is a Dior outlet piece?

Dior does not manufacture pieces exclusively for their outlet. Any Dior bags at the outlet are from excess old boutique stock that was not sold.

With Covid and life, I haven’t been focused on bags recently so I was shocked and devastated to just read that the Diorama had been discontinued. I really don’t understand Dior’s unwillingness to have anything gain perpetual classic status other than the LD.

In any case, I have a ltd edition Diorama that I really have not had a chance to wear. I wonder if I should sell and invest in something that won’t “go out of style.” I like to be on trend but have zero desire to chase new bags each year. I’m open for all suggestions. :confused1:

Please don’t sell your beautiful bag! I really don’t care about the latest it-bags anymore and just buy what I am really in love with. When I heard the diorama was going to be discontinued, I even bought 4 more as it is my number 1 favorite bag ever!! And now that they discontinued it, I feel even more lucky to have them and they feel more special to me. The past few years everything feels more like fast fashion and going in and out of style sooo quickly with brands like Dior, LV and Bottega Veneta. And these bags don’t come cheap! So don’t make yourself crazy and let “them” (fashion industry and social media)dictate what you should love (I used to be the same as you but eventually got tired of chasing trends) and enjoy your beautiful, special diorama in good health ❤️

Thanks for your thoughtful post!! The Diorama really is a great bag. I don’t know why it the world Dior is moving away from it. Just drives me crazy.

That being said, I’m actually not much of a trend “chaser” but more of just someone who likes to stay current mixing and matching new with classic or beloved items. (Perhaps I stated my approach wrong earlier.) :doh: Over the past 7-8 years, I’ve reworked my collection to have bags I adore and feel I’ll keep for decades if not forever. I was just questioning this bag because I’ve only worn it twice. (I wear my silver Diorama like crazy in comparison.) So with the lack of use and it’s value plummeting I thought... sell????

Then I wore her around the house for a couple hours :giggle: and decide I couldn’t part with her!

MGC seems to have used some of the design elements from the Diorama bag in her own bag designs. But at the end of the day, Dior bags seem to get discontinued really quickly so I feel like any Dior bag, except for the Lady Dior, is not a good long term purchase.

My only Dior bag is the Diorama and it's pretty much exclusively a travel bag since it's so easy to use as a cross body and can double as a day and night-time bag. I don't love the colour as much (I got it in the grey, because grey is so Dior), and wish I went for a different colour, but the bag itself is still beautiful and very easy to use.

I managed to get a diorama calfskin with ghw from Bicester village. They are still open during lockdown and doing mail orders. They have numerous designs and colours available at 35% off including grey pale pink velvets leather etc

I think that can be said for every brand, save for the one or two classic styles from each of those brands. Dior is not unique in this.

I guess my context in posting that is that I'm a little tired of brands releasing "it bags" or "must have bags" of the season that cost thousands of dollars and then discontinuing them as quickly as they were introduced. Dior, with MGC at the helm, seems to have been particularly aggressive with their "it bag" releases lately. Every bag is being bombarded on social media and it gets really old after a while.

I share your frustration. And, given I don’t like recent Dior designs I’m doubly frustrated.

The Caro seems different. I don't see the same #suppliedbyDior as I saw with the other designs. I don't know if this actually means the bag is picking up momentum on its own, but if it did, I wouldn't be surprised. It has every Dior code and is so user friendly.
