  • I admit it. I have somewhat of a love/hate relationship with my Lady Dior bag! In this video, I candidly share the design aspects that I really like... as well as the aspects that really annoy me! Hope this is helpful to those of you who are deciding whether or not to purchase the Lady Dior for yourself. It's a classic, iconic bag - but it's not perfect! Hope you enjoy! xx

    So a little tip on the handles, if you hold the handles up and then gently push them to one side (left or right, doesn't matter), the rings that connect the handle will tilt and lock the handles in place, prevent them from moving or falling down 😄

    With the ever increasing prices in Chanel, I started appreciating other brands like Dior.. the Lady Dior and the Saddle bag are on the top of my list. I recently bought a mini dior in this color, just waiting for it to arrive.. i plan to use this for formal occasions so i know it will not be used as often. But i don’t mind as it being classic, i can pass it on to my daughter.

      Hi Thanks for sharing. I just bought the *jklux* 2 days ago which was on my wish list for my occasion bag, is it worth buying this? The félicie pochette is really nice and classy and you can use it in 4 different ways, so the CA showed me the félicie from the drawer and I checked on it then I asked the CA if he can get another stock so I can compare the one he pulled from the drawer so he did. I noticed that the félicie from the drawer the leather was a bit shiny or glossy while the stock he got the leather was matt so I choose the shiny one that attracted me but I just wondered why they are different and you might have any idea. When I got home I just noticed that when you opened the envelop the back mid fold leather was a little loose is it normal when openning but when its closed its ok no problem (I didn’t noticed in the store and compare to the other one). Any advise will appreciate, I do always love watching your videos.

    I hate many bags that influencers love...sometimes I think Chanel flaps, Birkin and Kelly are more like a sign of status, people don't really love them but "need" them to don't feel "less". Just my two cents.

      I don't think everyone who buys the bags are doing so because of status. Many people are though. That said, those Hermes maintain their beauty they don't get annoying to look at and the birkins is a very functional bag in terms of how much it can hold as well due to the design. Keep in mind that design beauty wise sometimes other influencers will see others have an item and like how it looks and they decide to buy and if enough people love the look of something it's going to be popular as well.

      If you can't afford a designer bag and feel some type of way about expensive designer shit then DON'T FUCKING WATCH THE VIDEO. Like do ya'll even read the tittle of the videos before clicking on it? It clearly says in the tittle the video will be about designer bags. I find these types of videos very helpful even though I can't afford any of these bags yet, but I know one day I will. And I want to know which designer bag will be really worth my hard earn money and I will get the most use of. That being said, if you read this thank you for sharing this video with us ,please make more videos like this. Maybe *jklux* next?

    I own this bag and definitely have a Love/Hate (but not really hate) relationship with it. I love the fact that it is a unique bag with its own history. I would have to agree on some of the points you made about accessibility, and how the handles fall. I own the medium, and I think it’s definitely easier to get things inside since it’s a bit bigger, but it still can prove difficult at times.. I have the zipper compartment. Overall, I’m happy to have this bag in my collection. Its just so unique, and I’ve been approached by strangers telling me they like my bag, given it’s not a bag you see worn out often!

    Omg! I am totally in agreement with a love hate relationship. My number one annoyance with this bag is the tilting, it drives me absolutely crazy 😡. I have to really think about where I put the bag down. The majority of the time it would tilt and fall flat to one side. Also the clips on the strap are so difficult to get on and off! On the flip side, I love the leather, the craftsmanship, the attention to detail and the noise the charms make. And it’s a truly iconic bag 🥰

    Idk, Lady Dior is by far my favourite bag, aesthetically speaking. And instead of Classic Flaps, Lady Dior bags are the highest number of bags of the same style that I own😅. They just sparks so much joy every time I use them, and I'd completely over looked every cons u mentioned here. They are definitely not Ur everyday bags. And I don't reach for them when I need to run heavy duty errands. They're more like a girly activity day's bags. Usually I only carry them top handle, cause I am not very fond of the look of the thick strap on a lady Dior.

    I think the diagonal scratches in the O rings could be because of the shoulder strap lobsters 🤔 when putting the bag down (the strap is not in tension on the shoulder and falls down). The hardware is substantial and the pieces scratch each other🙈. The hanging leather in bag straps and belts make me crazy too. Is nevertheless a beauuutiful bag, but I totally understand how nerve racking it can be at times. The tilting frequently makes me totally crazy. Is the worst. For the tilting ones I always get one of those small bag table hangers in Amazon, but of course is not solving the issue completely.

    -If you don't like the flap, remove it.

    -The handles need a magnet clip to keep them together when sitting it down.

    I have the Lady Dior in the medium size in the color Cerise (or Cherry Red). The interior is red, not black. It has never tipped over because the medium size has a wider base where the feet are spread more apart than the small size. I'm not a crossbody girl, so I usually carry it on the crook of my arm. With your small size, the handle drop is not as long as my medium. I debated on whether to buy the small or medium, but when I realized the medium can easily slip on and comfortably rest on the crook of my arm then that helped with my decision making. I can understand your comment on the flap opening, but I would much rather have a flexible flap than the original tight zipper opening. The Lady Dior is a stunning bag that every bag collector should have!

    • @hellocatwalkcity
      @hellocatwalkcity  2 роки тому +1

      Ah yes, I can see how the medium size wouldn’t tip over as easily! I’m a crossbody gal so the small works best but the tipping is annoying. 😂 I agree with you on the flap opening - it’s still better than the zipper! 👌

    @haiji1996 Рік тому +1

    This was very helpful. I knew that the handles would flip open when you're not holding the bag. It's ok in the case of the LV Alma because the handles move completely down so as to touch against the surface of the bag. However, in the case of the Lady Dior, I see that the handles stick out horizontally when the bag is put down. That doesn't look good. I want the bag to look nice even when I put it down . No wonder you initially had to tie the handles together with a ribbon at the start of the video. This is a deal breaker for me. I love top handle bags, but I would prefer the Hermes Kelly, the Chanel coco handle, and the Chanel trendy CC over the Lady Dior. Thanks again for your informative video.

It was tight at beginning but after few usage, the opening has softened abit tht my hand can slip in and out comfortably without zipper cutting my hand. It doesnt tip over because of the medium size so more stabile. Sure it isnt everyday bag but it so gorgeous with the clink clank charms and carnage quilts. Looking at them always put smile on my face.

Another con for me is when the strap is on, and you want to get or put something inside the bag, it is so hard to open it since the strap is blocking the two top handles. You know what I mean? or is it just me? I also have this exact bag btw and I also have love and hate relationship with it. 😬

They should either have included a dome or made the keeper piece wider to contain the flap. My LV Georges bag has a curling tail which is starting to bother me. It does have a keeper piece but the strap seems to ride out of it alot and they do look untidy when they curl. The scratches on the hardware at the back could have been there under the plastic stickers and when its all exciting taking them off, sometimes you don't see them. I had a great big deep scratch on the big clasp on my LV Georges which I noticed on my first outing with it. There is no way it happened when I wore it but what can you do?

    Loooove your bag! ❤️❤️❤️ I feel the same way about my Lady Dior. Mine has a zipper instead of a flap and I do get annoyed when I have to get something out. Also, my crossbody strap is much shorter and the bag sits too high. The hardware definitely scratches very easily but I still love my bag and won’t part with it. Mine is very classic and vintage. Great video! 👍🏻😁🌺

    I have not used mine yet since I got it last year during Covid but I could tell with the flap already, it wouldn’t be very easy to get things in and out. I agree, the spiked feet wouldn’t hold the bag up very well and do like when the extra leather isn’t flopping everywhere. I do the same thing with my handbags, and think of changes I would make to better the bag or make it easier to use. I wonder if you got some of the scratches from the strap clasp? Is it on the other diagonal side? Definitely a stunning bag but will have to be prepared for the scratches which I worried about but things have to be enjoyed and used so will have to get over it 😅

    Hi! I am so late to the game but just purchased this ABC Dior bag online! This is a silly question but how do you open the “charm strap” to put the charms on? Meaning do I push the ball down the slit or pull on it as it is? The hole is so tight I’m afraid to yank on it🤣Also do you have an organizer in this bag? I bought this bag in black and it’s quite small so not sure if I should? Thanks for any advice!🤗

    I have the same annoyance as you regarding the flap,the opening and the interior t
    Lined with black fabric. I find it is difficult to open and close, take things out….and I had a craie Bastia (I know, I know) and the black lining turned it grey. Mine was a gunmetal iridescent or polished/coated calfskin and parts of the colour on the shoulder strap and the handle rubbed off after just few months of use. Probably my first and last Lady Dior.

It's a stunning, well made bag (I own three!) but I'm currently considering selling two of my Lady Diors (along with some other designer bags) in order to downsize and buy something really special. My Lady Diors are my least used bags and they're also the bags I least enjoy wearing due to their fussy nature. The stiff handles really annoy me. I'm curious to know how you're enjoying your Fendi Essentially Peekaboo? I've been thinking about buying one for the longest time. Yours looks stunning on you xx
