WHAT WAS YOUR LAST DIOR PURCHASE? *post photos of your beauties here*

Been loving seeing how everyone has been accessorising their bags with their Mitzah scarves, so I bought two more (now a proud owner of 3, all different designs) to pair with my Lady D-Lites and my 30 Montaigne



ABC Mitzah 'C' Constellation


Toile De Jouy Sauvage in grey

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.

View attachment 5301348

I wanted to share an update on Tribales earrings comfort level in case anyone is considering and unable to try them on. I've been wearing them all day today and they are very comfortable. It's important to close them just right for them to be comfortable. You can easily "over-push", then the earrings become uncomfortably tight. You need to push very slowly and slightly until you hear a clicking sound and stop, no need to push all the way.
There is a BUT and it's the weight. The earrings are very comfortable, but I still feel the weight on my ears. It's not painful at all, but I wouldn't wear them all day every day as I'd be concerned with stretching out my ears and piercing holes if you know what I mean... Many many years ago I saw that my granny's piercing holes are all stretched out and she explained that this happens from heavy earrings, since then I'm very aware of the weight on my ears and only wear something super light on a daily basis.
So overall, I would recommend these earrings to anyone looking for a statement piece rather than everyday pearls.

Switched out the Warm Taupe for Beige. I will get more use with Beige vs the Warm Taupe. I hope there aren't any regrets.

HI, I got a warm taupe during my panic buy and I've considering of changing to beige as well. Can you please share more info on your thoughts about the beige? Is it more nude in color? Also, do you like the enamel color DIOR charm? Do you think the color will chip easily, less prone to scratching than the classic gold? I would greatly appreciate any input you can share about your experience with the beige color and charm so far. Thanks!

Hi there. I'm glad you were able to grab the Lady bag before the price increase. Just get the bag and switch out to the color you want! As long as youbget it without the increase!

I have owned the beige Lady ABC in beige for 5 days and unfortunately it's been stored in its box this entire time as I need to exchange it for another beige (my handle is squeaking when it shifts right to left. Does yours?). I was told HOPEFULLY by the end of this week or next, a beige should be in for me. It's like pulling teeth to get my SA to initiate anything. I have to suggest it first before he follows thru.

Since the bag has been stored and not used for a period of time, I can't say how the charms would wear over time, but by looking at the enamel, I think it will show less scratches (or none) vs being plain metal in champagne gold as that will show fine scratches over time. I am hoping it doesn't chip. It looks like there is a good layer of enamel baked on. I wouldn't expect that it would chip. We do have a 2 yr warranty so if anything happens during that period I would definitely send it in.

Re the beige color, in my opinion, this beige could use some help. Lol. Now, this is MY opinion obviously so others or even yourself, may love it! It's not an ugly color, but just blah and boring imo. It's a flat beige. There is no richness to it. No sheen, no warmth. The champagne hardware blends into the beige, the enamel blends in. Even the interior blends in. This beige would have looked so much better imo with more of a yellow gold vs champagne as that would had elevated the look some. With that said, it is a conservative "safe" color. You'll be able to match this beige with pretty much anything, much more then with the warm taupe. You can use this beige as your "nude", although it really is not the color nude. Think about a beige crayon. Lol. This beige reminds me of that. Lol. I'm trying my best to give the best description without sounding negative but I dont think Im doing such a great job. Lol. This beige is not a warm beige but more of a neutral beige. The charms somewhat blend in with the bag since the enamel is the same color as the bag. The interior is a nice suede, but it's the same color of the beige, so there is no depth. It is what it is right? Lol

Honestly I liked the Warm Taupe more, but it wasn't the color I needed. For $5k, I NEED TO BUY THE BAG IN THE COLOR I NEED! LOL. The perfect color for me would be the warm taupe that is advertised on dior.com. I wish the warm taupe was actually THAT color and not the color it truly is. They need to change the warm taupe picture on dior.com to match up to the color it is.

I settled on the beige because it was the closest color that I could get to nude. I am happy and content with the color overall believe it or not, and the bag is still pretty in this color, but if it was a nude color....WOW! It would be FIRE!

I will be happy to post pics of my beige Dior. Hopefully I can catch the true color. In about 2 or 3 hrs check back. I'll have some pics posted for you.

I hope I answered your questions and helped you. If you are close to a Dior Boutique, call custer service to see if they can locate 1 in your area. If so, go there and look at the Beige color in person. I'm not sure if you purchased from the boutique or online but technically any exchanges or returns if purchased on dior.com needs to go thru them and not the boutique. HOWEVER, some SAs will allow you to exchange. You can't return there tho for a refund. That for sure has to be shipped back to dior.com if you initially purchase from the website. Also, if you purchased your bag on dior.com and you exchange in a boutique, it will be a FINAL sale. In my case I'm able to exchange as my handle is faulty. Please let know if your handle literally squeaks when shifted to the right or left. Mine does and my SA states that is normal. I find that hard to believe a $5k new bag would squeak. It's just the back handle, not the front.

Another tip, make sure your charms are able to feed thru the leather strip. On a gray Lady in the store, the charms would not slide on. The strip was too wide. My SA tried it on 2 different gray bags and both strips were like that. When I got home with my Beige, the D and Star slid on and although a tad loose, there wasn't much movement of them sliding unless i slightly moved it with my finger, so they stayed in place. They did not slide up or down. However the charm that reads DIOR slides up and down, shifting the charm next to it. Im not sure if the opening of that charm was just made too wide or if the leather strip should have been slightly wider for a tighter fit for all the charms. Anyway I thought I would point that out so you can check your bag or the next bag to make sure that is not an issue for you.

See you in 2 or 3 hrs!

Thank you so much for a very lengthy and detailed review of your new beige Lady Dior. My new Lady handles does not squeak, at least not yet, LOL! The DIOR charms hardly moves, not sure if its because of the plastic protectors still on them but it looks like they are somewhat kind of glued in to prevent them from moving around so much. I don't want to mess with them so much in case I return it. I only saw the warm taupe online so I thought the color would be a perfect nude but unfortunately, upon receiving it, it's more darker than the color online so I was a bit disappointed because I really wanted a nude color but now after reading your review, I'm afraid the beige will be boring to me as well, LOL! I hate to feel I'm just settling after spending $5K on the handbag. I was also thinking of the blush color but I honestly don't care for a pink so now maybe I should just get the black because it's safe and classic but I have so many black color handbags already! Uggghhhh, I was really hoping to get a nude color handbag and I was hopeful beige would be it, but it may not be afterall. Regardless, I look forward to seeing more pictures of your beige Lady Dior and hopefully, I can decide if I should keep or exchange my warm taupe. Thank you again for your reply, you're awesome!

Ok I'm back! I took a ton of pictures trying to capture the TRUE beige color. I ended up getting very very CLOSE to the color just by using light from a lamp. Lol After I took the pic I put the pic off my phone next to the bag and said yep....this is it! . Its not 100 percent, but about 98%.

I did put 2 different shades of nude shoes next to the bag so you can compare. The heel with the close toe is a true light nude and the open toe with the studs is what I would call a true nude as well but just darker, like a medium nude. I also took a pic of the Dior next to my Chanel Boy. The color is called Light Brown (so generic right? Hahaha). I would say the Chanel is also a nude but with a peachy warm undertone. It is actually a beautiful color! I wish the Dior was that color! I'm selling my Boy which helps me get this BEIGE Dior. Lol. Let me stop, I do really love my Dior! I have no regrets selling my Boy (I dont think lol) Its just not working for me. I don't like how my items lay in there. Such a long and narrow shape. Sometimes I feel I can't get what I need in there without feeling like Im stuffing it. Anyway, enough chatting about something that isn't why we are here! Lol. I will attach the closest color matches of the pics that match the beige Dior below. I'll also send the other pics I took in a well lighted room since I have them. I'll send them in the next message.

Ok so for part 2!
These are the first pics I took of the Dior. They are great pics to show details of the bag, but you don't really need that as you have the warm taupe in front of you. A little bit of trial and error helps to get things right at times. Lol. I say if you want to succeed in something, you keep trying without giving up!

Now I did not use a flash when taking the pics below. The lights are coming from a ceiling fan. The color of the beige is really washed out here. Imo, the color looks nice in these pics. I personally would prefer this color beige as it's a bit more of a warmer undertone, however these pics DO NOT match up with the true beige color. Hopefully I don't confuse you by sending you these pics. I figure since I took them I may as well let you see them. Lol

So let me know what you think. I'm curious as we all are different and see things differently. Different strokes for different folks! Maybe you will like the beige afterall. It's actually growing me but I still stand firm that Dior could have done better then THIS! Oh, also as I'm looking at the Beige it does have a very faint grey undertone...almost like fresh clean cement. I'm not trying make jokes here but Im really trying to give you the best description possible! Please let know what you're going to do! Also with a black Dior....you will NOT GO WRONG WITH THAT! I didn't get black as well as I have more black then anything else! Lol

OMG!!! Thank you for all the pictures you posted! After seeing more photos, I have to say the beige is a much better color than the warm taupe. The warm taupe is just too dark of a shade to be considered nude, it's more brown with a gray undertone? I just think it will be harder to match an outfit than the beige. The beige color appears to be slightly darker than your light nude sandal and definitely lighter than your open toe sandals, so it's kind of nice as it will match more outfits with lighter and brighter colors. Many thanks again!

Sure no problem! With all the rambling I did, I wasn't sure if I helped you or made it worse! Hahaha! So,do you think this beige is a nice color or do you find it boring as well? I'm trying to see maybe there is something wrong with my eyes! I'm surprised people like this beige color. I have 1 friend out of all I asked about the warm taupe and beige and she is the ONLY ONE that picked Warm Taupe!

You're right, I do prefer this color of beige better, LOL!!! My practical mind keeps telling me that I don't need any more black, but the black color looks sooooo beautiful in Lady Dior I really need to stop buying black handbags because I just have too many in my collection and according to my husband, they all look the same! I'm definitely leaning more towards the beige. I will take your advice and contact my local Dior to see if they have any beige color in lambskin for me to look at in person. Many thanks again for all the time you took. I truly appreciate it!

Great! Well it sounds like you made up your mind. Mission accomplished! No warm taupe! Lol. Thank YOU for making me feel better about choosing Beige. You're right, it is the better alternative and will go with more outfits! Enjoy your new Lady Dior! Come back with your photo after you make your purchase!

Have you seen the color Amber? Its on Dior.com.. it is not the ABC version. It is also in a size medium. It is the same price as the ABC small with the enamel tho so if you wanted this color the value is the same now but I'm not sure if it was before the price increase. I wonder if it pulls off as a nude caramel or more like a pumpkin spice color? Hummmm. Just thought I would share as we both were looking for nude Lady Dior bags. Lol

I’ve seen the color in real, I would not describe it as nude at all. It’s a caramel color with orange undertones. It is available in small (my ABC) in European and other markets. I don’t own the bag but here’s a photo that pretty much represents the color. Hope this helps

By the way this is also an interesting color that I personally find very very pretty but ofcourse more high maintenance. It’s called powder pink but it’s a beigy pink that could be described as a very light pinkish nude.

The amber color looks to have more orange tone so I agree that it probably may look like pumpkin spice in person.
