Hi everyone! I’m going to copy and paste my post from yesterday that hasn’t received any responses yet. I am hoping for some feedback as I am new the world of Dior bags.

When I saw this print in May, I felt like it was made for me. I am always fascinated by the sky (especially stars) and everything in nature.

“I ordered a new Book Tote from a Saks SA around mid-May. I did not realize the design was part of their upcoming collection, so they could not ship it out to me until June 2nd-3rd.
This is my first Dior BT. (I ordered a Mini from Dior.com a couple months ago. It was adorable but the size was too small for my necessities.)
I am new to the world of Dior bags.
I assumed it would be a low maintenance bag, but I might be wrong...

I received my item last week, but just got around to opening it today. As soon as I took it out of its dust bag, my eyes *immediately* noticed threading being pulled in THREE different parts in the front of the bag. There also appears to be some piling on the side edges of the bag.
The "white cloud" IMG_7332.jpegpulling is very noticeable to me from a distance. I am most concerned about this one. It will likely worsen over time and look pretty obvious being white, surrounded by white.

The closest Dior and Saks are a few hundred miles away from where I live, so I do not have the luxury of examining another BT in person to make sure there are no pulls, defects etc.

Has anyone experienced this with a brand new BT? Is this normal?
I assume the thread pulling means jewelry may get caught onto the embroidery?

Any of your shared experiences, feedback or opinions would be greatly appreciated!


I understand the quality of bags today are not what they used to be 15 years ago (Chanel, LV, and apparently now Dior?! :tdown:).

:lol: Good thing I did not get my name added to the back of the bag before Saks shipped it to me!!!”

Went to the town to get red Chanel, came back with the blush Dior.
The SA said she could send the chain out to shorten anytime later since it was longish on my frame. Glad for that service since a lot of bags i have liked but could not buy only due to long chain lengths.
Lovely! I have the same bag :smile: May I ask where you are based and how tall you are? I wasn't aware Dior had chain shortening services. The mini is just a tad long on me as well (I'm 5'3)..would be nice to shorten it a bit.

Ofcourse! I got this bag from Dior boutique in Boston. I am little over 5 feet. The SA said i could bring the chain anytime in future and they can send for shortening. It will take a few weeks though.
At your height, i feel the bag should fall fine crossbody. Unless you want the flexibility to carry it over shoulder also. Here thats how its on me.

visited miami for the first time this past week, got my first lady dior in warm taupe :love: was stuck between the beige and warm taupe but the beige was a little too yellow for me. the warm taupe is PERFECTION! it does look different than the pics online but i still love it! purchased from dior at the design district

also do you guys know if they gave me the wrong size dust bag? the handles are sticking out and i feel like they gave me the dust bag for the mini lady :confused1: would the dior near me be able to give me the correct dust bag? they also didn’t give me the dust bag for the dior charms on the front of the bag

they didn’t have much variety for the personalized strap charms so i just chose 3 random ones but the SA said i could get them exchanged at my nearest dior but i’m not sure if this is true, anyone have any clue about this? not a fan of the 3 i picked since they are all different hardware

Thanks! That's good to know. I'm based in CA so I'd assume they'd offer the same service if I ever decide to get it shortened in the future.
I don't think it looks too long in your photo at all! You're right, the length is okay on me crossbody most of the time, but with certain outfits it looks just a tad long. And it's definitely too long when worn over the shoulder. Would be nice to have both options!

I bought my first dior wallet, black Caro slim wallet. I love the stitch and size as well. It's big enough to hold all my cards and some space for coins and others. I think the leather is not tough enough for daily use, but I'm just gonna enjoy the beauty and craftsmanship until it wears out. The width of the wallet is a little longer than my Bottega Venetta Loop crossbody and I put this vertically along with my other stuff.
I wasn't able to buy the wallet from Dior.com and where I live don't have Dior beautique, so I called Nordstrom in MN and Viviana got my order. I asked her if she could take some pictures of the wallet and she did send them, including a quick video. She was not particularly nice or friendly but she was prompt.
