Good Choice? My First Lady Dior
My mom and I have been going through a weight loss journey since 2024, and as a present for reaching my goal (-100lbs!), my mom is going to buy me any bag I want (under $7,000). BEYOND lucky and grateful. I’ve wanted a Lady Dior since I was 10, and now 16 years later, that dream is being fulfilled. My question tho, is that, this is a bag I’m going to cherish for life. I want it to be very special. So I’ve been looking for the more unique launches Jonathan’s put out - the green or pink floral is absolutely to die for if it were a little less expensive - and other than those 2, this is the first one I saw that I truly felt stunned by. I have the matching twilly and I’m just so taken with it. What I’m wondering, tho, is if you guys think a cotton/canvas w/ leather details Lady Dior is worth it. It’s such a big investment I know, and I want to make this decision super carefully, and figured no one better to ask than my fellow Dior lovers, those who own their own Lady’s and those who also adore them! I’d love to know your thoughts and what you might do. (As a side note - I really want to get it brand new and have the in store experience since that’s one of my favorite parts of shopping luxury, so not resale for this one. Thank you so much for reading and for any advice/thoughts you have!
Edit: WOW! Thank you all so much for the advice/feedback and words of kindness!! I was not expecting so much engagement and it helps a TON. I want to give all the consideration I possibly can on a purchase as significant as this (both financially and symbolically what it’ll represent) and this helps beyond words in me doing that. I’m not saying “no” officially to the bag until I see it in person, BUT, I do think that if I’m able to find a leather version, esp in a more universal colorway, it’s worth the wait. I know the right bag will come, and when it’s meant to be it will happen!! 😊
