Unpopular Dior Opinions

They're so ridiculous with their pricing. The wallets and the 90cm scarves are decently priced, but everything else is so up there in price that I am no longer wanting to purchase anything unless it's on sale. I also hate that most clothing I like will have a CHRISTIAN DIOR plastered over it in the most obvious way.
Also, I am unreasonably infuriated by those $420 J'Adior bracelets that look like they were made in summer camp.

Dior deciding to go with the Travis Scott collection has really turned me off them
For the past two seasons at least, the dior RTW demographic is clearly not meant for me. I’ll enjoy what I have and perhaps buy the occasional RTW piece, but that’s it.
Omg yes! I do miss the RAF Simmons era. He did CD classics with a modern updated look like no one else. I miss all the accessories from his era. The lady Dior’s were so fresh, the miss Dior, diorama and diorisimo. So sad he decided to leave.
And the Haute Couture dresses were so dreamy. Modern, Fresh but still had Dior’s history.
Most of my collection of bags and wallets are Dior (from the Raf era). So many fresh designs which are still looking elegant today.
I don't like the oblique pattern or the saddle bags; designs from the late 90's-early 2000's which IMHO look dated and tacky. Why did they think they had to "reinvent' them for the 2020's?? And stop with the constant changing of the logo, introduction of tacky bags (Vibe collection anyone) and overuse of the same pattern on literally everything.
And the prices of their bags and accessories are getting off the chart ridiculous; in Australia it's nearly $8K for a medium lady dior (with just that flap closure instead of an elegant zipper - which is probably more expensive to produce which is why they probably changed it) and the mitzahs are currently $410. Not even Hermes is at that price point yet.
I feel like Dior is chasing trends and does not know what it is anymore - a luxury brand with bespoke quality leather goods or expensive kitsch.

Love love the silver hardware at Dior more than the gold
Oh that's funny.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 just love Lady Dior. I do think it depends on the color combined with the size.
To me, the Saddle just looks like a liver. Every time I see one I think "oh, there's someone carrying around an expensive liver". I dislike that it can't stand up on its own. And it barely fits anything - I've seen reviews where people can't even fit their phones in the mini.
But to each their own.

That is an understatement. Greatly miss, pine for his designs, flounder in his absence, yearn for his return. #RafDiorNeedsYou
What was wrong with the Miss Dior Parfum that came out in 2017??? The new one does not even come close and to my mind does not smell good.
Ok, here we go (big breath):
I love the look of the saddle bag but I hate the way the new edition has such a molded opening/compartment to enter your things. There is HARDLY any room, regardless of what size you buy. Plus I agree with earlier comments regarding the symmetry; the bag itself is very striking in appearance but the angled bag would drive me nuts after awhile, and I wonder if it must be very uncomfortable to get things in and out of. I hope I'm wrong - saddle owners, please tell! I do miss my vintage black oblique fabric saddle, where you could stuff as much as you wanted into it.
I LoVe, LoVe, LoVe the book tote. (But that's not really an unpopular opinion.)
I do wish they'd bring back the original canvas Panarea tote bag in all those gorgeous colors. I MISS THEM!
Also, I really, REALLY miss Raf Simons as creative director. I loved his work!!!!
