The Dior Diorama Thread

[closetluxe]

I just tried to look for the Diorama on Dior's website. Sorry if this question has been asked already, but did Dior discontinue it? Say it isn't so?

Yes. It has been discontinued. However you can find some on the outlet store. Not many selections, but they do have some.

Thanks for letting me know. When was it discontinued?

Even more a prized possession because of the chatter! Enjoy and nice photo skills!

Completely agree...thank you!

I'm not sure of the exact date, but they had stopped producing Dioramas by Fall 2019. When I visited the boutique in Vienna in December 2019, the shop had stopped receiving new stock and I was told that it had been discontinued. By then, they only had the medium in four colors plus a beautiful limited edition black beaded one that I saw surface in a post on this forum recently.

If you look back at Dior's Instagram, the last time you can even spot a Diorama is sometime in early Spring 2019 (and it's even further back that the bag was featured), so it appears that that is when the brand started to phase the bag out.

Why did Dior discontinue it? Such a shame

I was surprised to be offered an ostrich Diorama that my local store had just received. It was obviously recently made, so not transferred remaining stock from another boutique. I wonder if they continue producing it in exotics for the regular boutiques (not the outlets).

Some exotic pieces are produced for old lines (i.e. they still have the DiorBabe bag from 2007 in crocodile skin). It is surprising to hear that they made it for the Diorama, though. I thought they would not continue to produce this style anymore.

I would love to see a photo of this beauty!

My SA was surprised as well and immediately offered it to me as she knows I am in love with the Diorama. However, at €11k I unfortunately had to decline. Please find a picture below.

It is nice, but considering that it is on a now-non-classic design, €11k is a lot. In that case, an ostrich Lady Dior would be better.

Completely agree. I’d rather spend the money on a Lady in water snake which I prefer to ostrich. I found the price quite high for Dior ostrich but also did not ask how the Diorama is lined.

Exotic pieces are all lined in leather, most likely a smooth calfskin although suede is a possibility as well.

I would have expected something embellished given the price

Yes they do complimentary cleaning. They state it in their care booklet, as long as the bag was purchased from the boutique with receipt I think.

If the tarnish doesn't come off, then bring that to Dior and they can replace the metal part for you, potentially for a fee depending on when you got the bag.

is the complimentary cleaning only for leather or as well as the jacquard.
