Did you size up in the shoes? My SAbtold me to go up 1/2 to a whole size in that style. Thanks.
So happy to get this from the boutique at 50% off! I’ve been looking for black aviators for quite some time now and these are perfect!
My 30th b-day present! This must be a new men’s item because I’ve been wanting a men’s saddle bag but I wanted something with a detachable strap. 
I ordered these Dconnects in indigo at 40% off what feels like forever ago and they finally came in! Absolutely love them. 
Been eyeing Dior lately because Chanel has been getting abit too crazy with the prices of the bags I like. Impulsively bought a 30 Montaigne chain flap (my first bag from Dior!) last Saturday because I couldn’t see any mini rectangle from Chanel that I liked. Debated between the canvas and leather (both are the same price in Singapore) but went with the canvas in the end because I felt it looked more vintage while the leather is slightly too mature and formal for me (not to say I won’t change my mind about it tho). My boyfriend was leaning towards leather because I’m a clumsy girl sometimes and he is worried for the canvas (or if others bumped into me and spilled drinks!) even though he does agree canvas looks nicer on me. After wrestling with myself for a while, I still went for the canvas because that really made my heart sing! It’s so gorgeous, I can’t wait to bring it out after I do some water proofing spray first! Quality wise, I do have to say Chanel does have better quality but nonetheless, this is still an incredibly stunning bag which I cannot wait to use! Let’s see if this bag is going to lead to a start in collecting Dior bags!

Love the bag!! I did this same debate but ended up selecting the blush chain bag as I wanted a nude bag...I picked up the oblique saddle a few months later. Good timing as I'm hearing price is jumping this week. You can remove the chain and swap with another strap to change up the look. I didn't think you could remove the chain but if you look in the middle of the chain there is a section that will slide apart like the antigona strap fits on it's bag. I was shocked and I never noticed this before...even my SA said he just learned this recently as well. Enjoy your bag!!
Thank you! I was also having such a hard time deciding between their new grained leather in the new shade of blue and the canvas but ultimately went with the latter (I am so tempted to go back for another one in leather tho!) their nude looks really lovely too but I’m a careless person haha, I am thinking of going for YSL beige instead as it’s less of a heartbreak if I accidentally stain it
. Yes, my SA told me about the chain being removable and taught me how to do it, trying to tempt me with their lovely straps 
As it’s my first dior, I held myself back from straps first haha. Maybe if I get more bags from them I will get a strap too. Aww, I love the saddle so much too but unfortunately I’m very petite and I tried it on when I was in Japan (they actually had a price reduction on saddle sometime back in early feb so I thought hey, perfect timing to buy!) but unfortunately, anything bigger than a small saddle looked too big on me and small cannot even fit my iPhone 8 Plus 
so happy for you and your saddle tho!
Congratulations! It looks amazing!
May I please ask what it was about this bag that you said Chanel has better quality?
Thank you! I love it! Waiting for my waterproof spray to come so I can finally bring it out!
Actually it took 3 bags before I finally settled on the 4th one to take home. All were brand new from my SA but I found all with defects. First had an obvious defect where the leather was torn from the stitching in front. Second and third ones had scratches in the front of the canvas bag at the big leather piece in the center. Even for the one I eventually went for, there is some scuffing on the front flap at the bottom two corners as well as on the underside of the flap where there a small leather discoloration. However since I really wanted it and it was not that obvious unless someone inspected closely, I just took it (it was already the last brand new piece and I felt bad for troubling my SA too as the shop was closed by the time she went through so many pieces for me and she stayed to finish up my transaction). My SA told me it can’t be perfect and I justified that since my first bags were all Chanel (and I learnt that I should be strict in what I accept due to the price point), maybe I was being too harsh with my expectations since my YSL purchases also had some imperfections (where the SA in Japan told me was due to the way they stitch that might cause the leather to look crinkled at some places, same as what Dior SA told me when I pointed it out on my Montaigne too) , I started to think that maybe I had unnecessarily high standards (afterall they are so pricey... I work hard to afford them so I felt like I should get a piece that’s well made and reflect the premium price)... Usually with Chanel, I never had such problems, I even took display pieces before. Times when the Chanel bag was not satisfactory was usually because I really nitpick due to the price (like maybe the thickness of the leather trim looked slightly uneven or double c was not completely symmetrical on my vanity case) - I will never accept a Chanel bag if they had the same scuffing or small discoloration on the leather.
Here's my most recent, and first every Dior Bag! The patent Rose des Vents small Lady Dior with GHW!
Sorry to hear that. I guess the people who handled the bags before (including at the production facility) have not been as careful, hence the scratches and the rubbing at the bottom corners.
Dior's Oblique canvas is a vintage tapestry that has a lot of texture and is quite thick. Due to its relief and thickness, it can imprint into leather that has been sewn on top of it (i.e. at the leather edging around the bottom corners), hence the "crinkling".
Hopefully your next Dior will be perfect.
