Today my second Dior piece arrived (first were Tribales in pale pink), a beautiful wallet like the LV Victorine:

It looks beautiful, the color is really nice, my only concern: the LV quality seems better to me...I‘m thinking if this is ok:

What do you think? Would this be ok with wear and tear?

There is no other in the Internet, this was the only one for weeks, I‘ve checked this style/color combination constantly.

This is my first step into the leather world of Dior because I want a Lady Dior and try with a wallet first how the leather will hold. There are some loose ends of the stiches which can be cut off I think, I can deal with that but over all I‘m not soooo impressed with the craftsmanship like with Hermès, Chanel and even Louis Vuitton.

It looks like the flexing of the lambskin at this area which gets stretched a lot has caused the sealant to come undone. I've seen this at LV a lot, but in their case, the stiff canvas flexes differently from the sealant so the sealant cracks. I have very little experience with Chanel but I've read of quality issues too.

The lambskin will hold up as long as you are careful with it, but because it is a wallet (which is subject to heavier wear and tear), the corners of the wallet may wear faster than if the wallet were made of a less supple skin like calfskin. I generally choose wallets made of stiff grained leathers or coated canvas because I don't want the edges to rub too easily. If you want to be super careful with it, then place the wallet in its dust bag inside your purse so that it isn't scratched by the zippers and/or contents of your purse. It sounds extreme but you'll get used to it, and your wallet will look pristine for longer.

Thank you very much for your long answer [emoji2]
I‘ve had once a keyholder which was very delicate and I put it always into it‘s dustbag. Yeah, I got used to it, but I prefer it easier [emoji6]
I‘m really dissapointed by the leather, my boyfriend said that it feels like a fake. I think you‘re right, thicker grained leather is better for wallets. I‘ve decided to send it back and went next month to a Dior store and look/feel different wallets in real live and have a look at the Lady Dior. I still think Dior has beautiful Designs and I‘m not done with this brand [emoji5]

LV and Chanel habe quality issues, too. Right. Personally I‘ve had most of the time luck and got really good items.

Thank you again so much for your answer!! [emoji5]

I think that's my experience with Dior, too. I've been lucky most of the time. But every once in a while I read of quality issues and they're in line with other brands around this price point.

I also don’t choose pale colors and soft leather for wallets. With the constant handling and dirty money, I feel it will get dirty much faster and I will feel bad. That’s why I got a small LV Victorine wallet in dark cherry Epi leather to go with my black lambskin MLD.

But Diors’ pale leather colors are beautiful. My next Dior bag will be a pastel color.
