A Bag I've Waited YEARS For! | Dior Handbag Unboxing & Quality Issues I Encountered

A Dior unboxing of a bag I've been wanting for years. I've purchased this handbag twice in the past but had to return them both due to quality issues and this purchase had its own hiccups too. Still I'm so happy I finally have this bag in my collection!

Such a stunning new Dior addition to your collection! What a petite beauty! Perfect shade for the Spring! 🥰

[@CAROLCHANNELINGCHIC]

Thanks Joy!!! 💖 I think I have all the pinks I need now…but don’t quote me on that because I might see another that I want in an instant 🤣

[@DianaDang3]

Congrats on your lovely Lady Dior mini! 😍 It's a bummer to hear they still have some quality issues but I'm happy you were able to pick one without any flaws! It's such a beautiful classic piece. 💕

[@CAROLCHANNELINGCHIC]

Thanks Diana! 💖

Absolutely stunning. Congratulations Carol. 😍❤️

I love this mini lady Dior in blush colour. It is so pretty

[@CAROLCHANNELINGCHIC]

Thanks!!! 💖

[@Nita19SC04]

It's so cute specially in this colour ❤ The medium in navy is a dream!

[@CAROLCHANNELINGCHIC]

Thanks! The two colors are so different but are both so pretty 😊

[@itz_zephyrx8974]

Congratulations! Love the color❣️Omg, I can’t believe how much this mini Dior price has increased. I don’t think I could pull the trigger to buy it at the current price. So glad I decided to get it when the price at $3400. I got 2 dust bags swan and regular dust bag. Plus the booklet how the lady Dior is made. Can’t believe how these luxury brands increase their price and cut costs at the same time. Ridiculous. Thank you for sharing. 💕

[@CAROLCHANNELINGCHIC]

You are so lucky to have gotten it at that price! I wish I had focused more on getting bags instead of shoes prior to all these price increases. Shoe prices barely went up but bag prices skyrocketed 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@itz_zephyrx8974]

@@CAROLCHANNELINGCHIC yup. I wish I bought medium flap when $4800 in early 2018 too, instead of $7800. I was buying trendy bags at the time. Bought mini Dior late 2018. Well with this rate goes, today’s price will still be cheaper next year. Enjoy your new bag, Carol❤️

[@sandycharlespeterson1129]

Sincerely I didn't pay attention much on the bag cause you are so beautiful ...your face...your clothes, your nail.. and the voice how you explain it is soooo captivating. Love your Chanel

[@CAROLCHANNELINGCHIC]

Aww thank you so much for the sweet compliments Sandy! 🥰❤️

[@susanmartin5226]

If you pay 4+ grand on a bag, then it has to be perfect, no flaws

[@CAROLCHANNELINGCHIC]

Theoretically I agree with you but I’ve realized no bag is completely free of flaws. If I look hard enough I’ll always find one.

[@sakurakura9417]

@@CAROLCHANNELINGCHIC That is true only if consider brands like Dior. There are better brands with perfection in bags.

[@fashionandluxury101]

Love Lady Dior

[@CAROLCHANNELINGCHIC]

It’s one of the best styles ever!!! 😊

[@nikitaamerie]

If you want to avoid scrtaching on the hardware I keep the sticker on the big 'O' otherwise it scratches alot. Youre right the dustbag should of been bigger, you'll love the bag that colour is great because you dont always have to be so girly with the colour, eg suits greens, navys, reds.

[@CAROLCHANNELINGCHIC]

Haha one of the first things I did after unboxing it was rip off all the stickers 😅 Scratches on hardware don’t usually bother me though unless they’re really deep ones.

[@nikitaamerie]

@@CAROLCHANNELINGCHIC Oh thats a relief! so many people have deal breakers with this bag because of hardware scratches. I dont mind them either they still bling loads with scratches :)

[@ymirkina]

Congratulations on your new lady :) I just purchased one in the same color, in the next size up, in Paris. This color is stunning!!! I did receive the same booklet, it has authenticity card on the right side. I also did not receive the special dust bag, which is annoying .... but like you said, there are bigger issues with these bags to worry about :D

[@CAROLCHANNELINGCHIC]

Oh yay congrats on your new Lady Dior too! 🥳 I can’t believe they got rid of the dust bag with the swan. It’s not like I ever use the dust bags but it’s still a nice touch.

[@Tabatha437]

I just got the same color in the medium and I’m thinking about exchanging it. I feel like it’s too brown for some outfits and not pink enough for pastels. I can only match it with creams, black, & blues. Do you have any outfits advice you could share? I wish I could find a look book for this color.

[@treec9]

Love your videos! Congrats on finally finding the one after such a long search! I actually picked one up in this color at the local boutique after watching your video :) I’m wondering if you’ve noticed a lot of crooked or misaligned cannage stitching on the mini lady Diors? I only noticed after I took it home that the stitching on one of the side panels is not symmetric, and that one of the front panel horizontal lines is crooked on the very edge and doesn’t line up with the side panel stitching. Not sure if this is common or not and whether its worth the hassle of trying to exchange/return. Especially after hearing about your journey in finding the “perfect” one. Thanks!

[@CAROLCHANNELINGCHIC]

I’ve never seen that before but it might be because I never looked at it carefully enough to spot it. From what you described, I personally would lean towards exchanging it. I’m usually more accepting of blemishes on the leather but not when it comes to the construction of the bag itself. I hope you’re able to find one without any issues!

[@treec9]

@@CAROLCHANNELINGCHIC Thanks! That's very helpful!

[@Ademamelovesjazz]

Really gorgeous bag you have decided on. It’s been in my wish list but am still thinking to get this or a book tote . The booklet is the new book for lady dior, I received it for my recent purchase of d-lite. The authenticity card is at the last page if you haven’t seen it :)

[@CAROLCHANNELINGCHIC]

Thanks!!! ❤️ That’s a hard choice between the two. Did you see the new book totes they recently released for the Fall collection? Both the constellation and zodiac fantastico patterns are so stunning!

[@Ademamelovesjazz]

@@CAROLCHANNELINGCHIC oh yes, the constellation design is intricate and beautiful, I am in love with the scarf top too… 😍 I have been holding back on book tote purchase as I feel that it may not be that practical for my lifestyle and very much will only use it for travel. So I’m still pretty conservative on book tote and more inclined to adding a mini instead , especially with this blush colour in mini size . Can’t wait to find a time to try them on. 😄

[@natachacoulaud2903]

Oh my goooood this beauty is so perfect 😍 I love this size I have the same size in pink fuchsia and I loooove her the lady dior is a wonderful bag. You won’t put many things in it but we don’t care she is so beautiful !!!! 😂 the color of yours is to die for ! Love your videos your have so good taste ! You were so right about the issues with précédent lady dior it is so important that the bag you’re buying is perfection ! Sorry if I’ve made mistakes (French people here 🙋🏻‍♀️)

[@CAROLCHANNELINGCHIC]

Thanks Natacha! ❤️ Pink fuchsia sounds like an amazing color for the bag too!

[@natachacoulaud2903]

@@CAROLCHANNELINGCHIC i usually stay in the dark but I wanted to encourage you for your work because you’re doing a such wonderful job and your collection is wonderful and inspired. I regret you don’t have more followers. But I know you’ll get more 😉

Aww thank you so much Natacha! 🥰 That means a lot to me 🤗

Congratulation dear it is good on your body frame 👏👏👍😍

[@CAROLCHANNELINGCHIC]

Thanks!!!! 💕

[@MK-tj2xu]

I just ordered the lady dior mini in black & blush, right before the price increase. Quick question, what is this color listed as blush or rose ? Thanks :)

[@CAROLCHANNELINGCHIC]

Ooh congrats!!! 🤗 It’s listed as blush online but the photos are not true to color at all.

[@MK-tj2xu]

@@CAROLCHANNELINGCHIC Omg thanks for the confirmation. I kept trying to match the online images to your video but it wasn't matching. I'm relieved that its the same color :)

[@Anniel67]

I really like the smaller version but I don’t know if I could take the plunge. I wonder if it’s worth the C price. Argh!

[@Anniel67]

Please let me know how you like it after a few uses. Thank you. I have the medium size for work… then decided I don’t like to hold stuff and it was boxy for crossbody. But it is a beauty!

[@CAROLCHANNELINGCHIC]

I like having some variety to my collection so even if it’s not as worth it when thinking of resale value, it’s worth it for me personally since I don’t want to only have Chanel (and I really like the Lady Dior design too 😊).

[@CAROLCHANNELINGCHIC]

Of course! I know what you mean - the medium (and even the small in my opinion) is very boxy when not being hand carried. I only use the strap that comes with it when it’s absolutely necessary.

[@Anniel67]

@@CAROLCHANNELINGCHIC I agree, in terms of not only buying from one brand. And each house has their own wonderful designs. It’s more the cost per wear. Enjoy it!!

[@peggykwan817]

Wow, Seems like we pick the same thing again. Last time was that Dior belt. And this time is this gorgeous mini lady dior bag. I bought this bag in 2019 in Spain! I love the color so much. Easy to match with clothes. I wear it as crossbody bag. I am afraid the handle will get dirty. I believed mine was about $3800 or less at that time. They had increased the price so much! Unbelievable!

[@CAROLCHANNELINGCHIC]

Yay we’re twinning!!! I’m contemplating getting some mitzahs for the handles. They came out with this new one with roses that looks really pretty and seems like it could be the perfect match. But I also like keeping the bag as it is without the extra accessories and I don’t usually put scarves over the handles of my bags so I’m not sure what I’ll do yet.
