Unpopular Dior Opinions

[poleneceline]

I went looking for unpopular dior opinions thread and I couldn't find it. Let me know if there is one and I missed it.

Here's my opinion: the Lady Dior is beautiful in pictures but it looks like a grandma bag on me.

I don't recall there being a thread like this here already so here we go!

Here's my opinion: Several of Kim Jones' Dior collections are pretty ugly. I'm not finding a lot of stuff I want from the buy books for each collection. And Dior Men needs a new shoe designer other than Thibo. All his successful designs copy existing shoes from other brands.

I hate Toile, it looks like a bedspread from someone’s Granny’s attic

This is probably a thought exactly zero other people have had besides me but I'm disappointed the Dior book tote doesn't have more to do with books. Imagine this is THE bag for librarians.

The Dior saddle bag looks cool but when I tried it on, I did wonder "does this make me the horse?"

I can’t get on board with the saddle bag. The asymmetrical design just does not work with my extreme OCD.

Agreed, hated the saddle bag when it came out 20+ years ago and still do!

When I first heard of the book tote, I legitimately thought it was a bag made to carry only books or in the shape of a book Then I saw it and was wondering what it had to do with books.

I don’t like Maria, she makes Dior look cheap

Not a fan of the ABC dior, it looks too square and less puffy than the other sizes.

Can’t agree more! I really wanted to love it since I think it’s unique and iconic Dior. However I just couldn’t bring myself to get it due to the impracticality.

I love the Dior book tote but hate the handles - why can’t it be more practical and have a strap? Who wants to pay over $ 800 for two mitzah to protect handles? ( I’m in Aus and they’re $410 each here)

While I love Dior bags (they all photograph beautifully), they’re SO impractical and have an awkwardness about them. Aside from the Lady Dior, there’s something weird about every other style…the handle/handle drop and stiffness on the book tote (makes it awkward to wear over the shoulder/it’s really only for carrying by hand or on the crook of the arm), the side profile (the two compartments look inappropriate) on the saddle bag, the general shape and opening of the bobby bag (and the magnetic closure is again inappropriate), the 30 Montaigne is deceiving in how little it actually fits…I could go on and on. I WANT to love their handbags and they’re pretty in pictures, but there’s something about almost all of them that makes me pause and say “hmm, let me think about it” when it comes to purchasing for myself.

I despise the wide straps on the small Lady Dior. Why put such a casual-looking strap on a bag that is clearly meant to be elegant and lady-like? My poor SA is probably tired of hearing me talk about this

It especially frustrates me to no end because the small size is the perfect size for me. It looks great crossbody (besides the wide strap obscuring most of my outfit), it fits in the crook of my arm without issue, and it can hold my gigantic phone.

I have the mini now, and I absolutely adore it, but I really wish they have more small LDs with thinner straps.
