Thoughts about new Lady Dior in Grained Leather

[vivilisa]

Should I get the Lady Dior small in lambskin or the new grained calfskin leather?

I bought the Small one in a grained leather but returned it. It just did not look right. It might be more durable than lambskin (hard to say because it was way softer than Chanel's caviar leather) and it looked harsh and not as attractive. I would stick to a classic look of lambskin.

Thank you for the insight. Do you perhaps have any pictures of the bag before you returned it?

I completely agree with daisygrl, re: just not looking right in the grained leather.
While it probably is more durable than the lambskin, IMO, the lambskin looks softer and more elegant, and really does work better with the entire aesthetic of the LD. Obviously just my personal opinion, though. FWIW, I love my LD in lambskin!

I'm very intrigued by the caviar-ish leather but haven't seen one in person. FWIW, my lambskin version has not been delicate at all.

Same! I think it’s worth getting the lambskin for the look because it withstands more than you think.

Here is a picture I took when I was in 30 Montaigne Paris a few months back. This is the medium size though but you get the idea. Got my mom the medium lambskin. I think with lady dior the lambskin looks better. And I agree with others caviar didn't look right on the lady dior and this is coming from someone who prefer classic flaps in caviar.

Yes I totally agree- when I saw the bag in person, it looked somewhat rough and dull- almost like a less refined version- it did not have the usual sheen and elegance of the lamb skin lady dior!

I’m so glad you’ve posted this so I can see the difference. Also how it looks against the hardware is good to see.
