The Beige color is beautiful. Is there a thread of wear and tear for Lady Diors? A few months ago, I bought my black ABCDior with the black enamel charms, but I have only used it once. I am waiting for better weather and more outings to wear it

Not so much wear and tear for the Lady Dior bag, but the leather is quite durable. I can't recall which threads I posted in but I remember writing similar messages twice on separate occasions about how my friend's lambskin Lady Dior wallet has fared. She uses it everyday since she bought it in 2008/2009. In one of the threads, I compared it to my own patent version that I bought in 2011. Although not the bags themselves, it gives members an idea of the durability of the materials when it's really 'roughly handled' when it's stored in a bag with other items
I also got the black one and I've been using it for about 5 months now, like a lot! You have to be very careful with it. Because it's very soft, lambskin gets scratched and torn easily especially on the corners of the bag. In one of my recent trips, the corner of my bag tore a bit and I took it to the store but they weren't able to do much. I was really sad about that
Even the handles and the flap part of the opening (not sure how you call it) also can get scratched easily although there are creams available for that. The bright side is that the scratches are not that visible unless you look closely. I think that won't be the case for a dior bobby for example as the leather is shinier than the lady dior.I'm also not overly cautious when taking them out as the purpose of my getting the bag is to use it and enjoy it and not worry that I'll scratch it every time. Besides, the lady dior doesn't really have a good resale value so might as well enjoy the most of it.
Thank you! I can't wait to use it. I picked up a faulty one. Didn't realize it until I got home that one of the handles squeak and its looser then the one in the front. I'm waiting for a beige to show up so I can trade. I'm not sure if there is a wear and tear thread but try youtube. There is always someone speaking on that and I'm sure there is one for the Lady Dior. I would personally be careful of the corners as it's lambskin and I heard when opening the flap of the bag, you should slide your hand along the top of the flap, all the way into the bag until you feel the edge of the flap. Once you do, just pull up on the edge to open. That way you're not scratching the top of your flap with your nails. Your bag is beautiful. I was considering that color as well! All these colors to choose from but I picked Beige! Hahaha!
Do you keep the faulty beige ABC LD until another beige one is available? What if the wait time is a month, what did the SA say to that scenario? I checked dior.com and the website is slow in loading new information. Most of the colored enamel charmed ABCDior LDs are not available at the moment. The brick red and cedar green color are available.Thank you! I can't wait to use it. I picked up a faulty one.

Yes I have the faulty beige in my possession as I did not know it was faulty until I got home, so I'm waiting for 1 to "show up". In the boutique the 2 top handles were taped together in the up position with felt. I didn't think to remove the felt and check the handles. Next time (I doubt there will be a next time at these new prices
) I will remove all packaging to inspect. I did not think to ask him about the 30 days policy. Good point! I will shoot him a text today to ask and check up on shipment. I'll let you know too what he says about the 30 days. Technically I'm not suppose to do an exchange or a return but since the handle is "faulty" they are making an exception altho my SA said that is normal, smh. Dior.com purchases are technically suppose to be shipped back to Dior.com for returns or exchanges to begin with, but he allowed the exchange of my warm taupe for my beige. Well he got something out of it as well as HE got commission for my return (you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours type of deal). If my back handle was stiff in movement like the front I would take the squeak noise as it would happen less frequently as there is less movement. But with it loose, each time it shifts, it squeaks. Not only that, as I wear it with the shoulder strap, the top handles aren't in perfect alignment. If I had bought this bag from a private seller, I would have thought this $5k bag was fake! Lol. It should be perfect! Isn't that why we spend so much on these bags, for the quality, craftsmanship and perfection? I'm sure the bag gifted to Princess Di didn't have 1 loose handle that squeaked. Lol.
They wouldn't dare gift her a bag like that! 
So why should I accept that is normal? Lol. If he says that is normal 1 more time to me (he said it twice), I'm going to bring that up! That is NOT normal, and if it is,THEY ALL SHOULD SQUEAK! Why isn't my front handle loose and squeaky like the back handle? SMH!
. Im glad its not but Im just making a point. Lol. Thank you for allowing me to vent.
I feel much better now. Lol
I just received my panic purchases and am very very happy with everything! My first and probably last black Lady Dior with silver hardware, Latte Saddle and Tribales earrings.
They didn't have silver charms for the Lady Dior bag, hopefully it looks ok with champagne gold charms and silver hardware...

Wow love it! You went on a shopping spree! I always find the energy for that! All looks very nice! I love the tribal earrings. Do you know of they went up? I thought about getting a pair but decided not to as I already did not like the price of my Lady Dior ABC bag! Lol. Gosh if the earrings went up I'm going to be bummed I didn't just DO iT! 
Are the tribal earrings comfortable? Is it worth the splurge?I just received my panic purchases

In the meantime the earrings are still the same price online $470 and $430 if ordered from Hawaii. I was also thinking to wait and get them later, but then I'd have to pay an additional $60 for shipping, so I figured I'll just get all my Dior shopping done and put myself on a shopping ban!Well I asked my SA what happens IF my beige Lady doesn't show up within the 30 day time frame. He answered by saying if one doesn't show up this week, he will look into ordering one next week. I didn't push him to get a direct answer as I'm sure he wants to be done with this transaction just like I do (I am that squeaky wheel when I need to be. I don't want to hold onto a faulty bag I paid $5k for). Sucks. Why not just order me a beige now? Why play the wait game if we don't need to? Anyway, it is what it is, until it's not anymore. I just wish I can start using my bag! Lol
I've been only wearing them for an hour, so far yes very comfortable. I have sensitive to weight ears and completely cannot tolerate heavy earrings. Tribales feel fine, but still a little too heavy to wear for many many hours every day. One earring is 4 gramm.

Yeah, that is weird that he would start looking into ordering one next week, and not this week. It does suck that you have to wait without an ETA of when you can finally use the new bag.
I finally received my Cornflower Blue Saddle Wallet on Chain, and I'm contemplating the functionality of it. Hmmm.
(edited) I just checked the dior.com website, and there is no availability of this product.

Exactly! No ETA? I say customer service is seriously lacking. Anything and everything that is desired got SOLD OUT! LOL. Maybe I shouldn't have started the thread about the Dior price increase. Lol. Just kidding . We are all in this together right?! Shopping the cheapest way possible!
