REVIEW OF THE ANNOYING LADY DIOR BAG *watch before you buy*

[@josettechrystall9290]

Thx Amelia Rose - for all the annoying reasons you outlined i have not gotten the lady Dior. I truly love the look of the bag but it would drive me nuts and this video just solidified those opinions for me. Great detail. Truly stunning bags

[@ameliarosescloset]

You are so welcome!

[@pamelaatkinsonscats2873]

That animal sequinned one is so beautiful that any inconvenience is overshadowed by its sheer gorgeousness.

[@ameliarosescloset]

Agree!

[@MutherPanell]

I know wealthy women who carry replicas. The main reason they gave is that they just understand the value of money and don't want to spend too much money on bags...so more people choose fashionable *condup* bags. However, they do spend a lot of money on fine jewelry and other things

[@JudieSebastien]

Since there are many bags on the market that are of good quality, affordable, and can be worn with confidence, *condup* why would you still buy fake bags?

[@annabiggs2534]

I have the patent mini. I find it holds a lot, I just take my cards and ID and put them in the inside pocket. The flap is not hard to use at all and the beautiful cross body shoulder chain completely makes it. I adore this bag so much.

[@ameliarosescloset]

maybe mine will get easier with use! i love the mini

[@ZianoRatzlaff]

You always help us find cheap and luxurious products. Thank you for sharing this video that is worth buying.

[@temin833]

Definitely agree! I’ve got the older style Lady Dior in the patent cherry red and as gorgeous as it is, I have vowed not to get another! The zip scrapes your hand as you are trying to get stuff in and out. You also have to hold the two pieces of leather open while you get your stuff or else you can’t see in the bag. Arghhhh the bag drives me nuts! But it is a beautiful bag! 😂

[@ameliarosescloset]

That would drive me nuts!!

[@kelly_nd2134]

I have the same exact one in medium and yes the zipper can be annoying. But, the red patent leather is one I’ve always wanted so for me personally I can overlook it. IF I was to purchase a 2nd one, I’d love a mini. They are so cute.

[@kelly_nd2134]

Hello from Texas 🤠 Amelia. Stumbled across your channel and immediately subscribed 😊🎉

[@sanciawest5428]

This is why I bought the D-Joy bag (after buying them selling the large, medium and mini Lady Dior). The handles on the D-Joy fold down flat. And it’s wider too making getting stuff in and out much easier.

[@ameliarosescloset]

i have heard the d joy is fab

[@NaomiJones-pc3bz]

Thanks for your honest review, Amelia! I've always admired the Lady Dior's beauty, but like many of your viewers, I've hesitated due to its practical challenges. Your video and the shared experiences in the comments really hit home for me. It seems like this bag is a classic case of style over function. As much as I love its iconic look, I think I'll hold off on purchasing it, especially considering the high price point. The beauty of the bag is undeniable, but so are the difficulties in using it daily.

[@ameliarosescloset]

thank you so much!

[@reannamohan]

Here's a fact I know when I visit Bali: they price it higher for foreigners and domestic tourists, but lower for locals (usually tourist spots), so I usually go in*preluxz* Go shopping.

[@MelissaAdams-Wade]

I have the My ABC Lady Dior bag and it doesn’t have an adjustable strap. I’m too tall to even have the option to wear it cross body and I’m 5’6. I completely agree with you about it being an annoying bag to use. I use mine mostly for date nights or church, handheld and with only my essentials. I love mine despite how annoying it is.

[@ameliarosescloset]

same, handheld, date type situations for me

[@iling78]

The zipper was worse. I couldn't do it. You kind of had to push the two sides apart to get things in the bag since the zipper made the opening so small. Had to sell it. The flap is so much better.

[@fashionandluxury101]

Great you sold the one with zipper .

[@ameliarosescloset]

Oh i see what you mean!

[@10secondsofmylife]

great honest video! i only have one, and i bought it second hand. it has the zipper but it’s in denim, so i can easily get in and out since it’s not stiff leather. this bag is something you really have to investigate and see what kind of fiddling fits for you. i went to the store several times trying these on and i just could not get on with that flap. your video really comes in handy for anyone researching!

[@ameliarosescloset]

Thank you, i wanted it to be thorough!

[@BoehWoodcock]

My dad has been telling me my whole life "Baby, you don't get or stay rich by spending money you don't have to." So *jklux* are my go-to.

[@carolann7459]

Greetings, Amelia, from the USA! 🇺🇸 I totally agree with most of your comments about the Lady Dior. However, I LOVE my medium size Lady Dior in a beautiful lambskin grey! I have no regets about purchasing this gorgeous but very expensive handbag. I would definitely agree it is a more, "high maintenance" handbag, primarily due to the lambskin leather and wonky handles/top flap!🤣 With that being said, I believe it can still be used as an everday bag. I sometimes use the shoulder strap but am fine using just the handles. For me, this iconic handbag is worth all of the fuss. Amelia, I always enjoy watching your videos. Thank you and take care!🩷

[@fashionandluxury101]

Great point it’s worth the “fuss”I too have a medium😊

[@ameliarosescloset]

I've never actually tried the medium

[@miradonfbd]

Wow wow, you’re looking fabulous! And those little Lady Diors look very good on you.

[@ameliarosescloset]

thank you so much!

[@kateb2240]

I agree, its too elegant to look right cross body. I wear my large and medium on the shoulder. I use mine a lot, and have to say the lambskin is far more hard wearing than my chanels. I have zips, can imagine that flap is a faff!

[@ameliarosescloset]

i think the zip was better!

[@catarinacunha7909]

You are a queen! I have spend weeks thinking if I should buy a lady Dior, but I think I can’t pull the trigger 😂😭 Thank you so much for this video 🥰 They are gorgeous though 😍

[@ameliarosescloset]

thank you so much!

[@SundayRose99]

Love this review, can you please do one like that on the Capucines? I’d love to hear all the annoying aspects of that bag and also why you still love it in the end. Thanks 🙏🏼 ♥️🥰🎉

[@ameliarosescloset]

Noted!

[@fashionandluxury101]

Most bags that with “ crossbody straps” is just an option . Let’s say you go to the bathroom ; it’s just convenient to use it while washing your hands. I have the Dior and I agree it’s not a “ crossbody bag” however having the strap is a plus in certain situations. The Dior is not an everyday bag ( I agree) so any lambskin bag is prone for scratches. I do prefer the flap as opposed to the zipper. The Dior is one of those bags you use when you are out for an evening . It’s not a “ hurry in and out bag” it’s a special bag for special occasions ❤

[@ameliarosescloset]

i'm learning this more and starting to love different styles

[@AlexKraleva]

Amelia, thanks very much for sharing your review. I was thinking of buying a vintage medium Lady Dior but now I am reconsidering it. I love the bag but I think I will get mad with the scratches and the noise. X

[@ameliarosescloset]

You are so welcome!

[@bec215h.7]

This is why I decided to get the LD soft instead. You can put it over your shoulder, #1, and the LD bag when you use it gets out of shape - they essentially end up looking just like the Soft, so may as well get the soft and it will look good much longer. I got an authenticated 2011 medium soft shopper in excellent condition for $1k, with just a little scratching on the charms. I keep a nylon reusable shopping tote in the bag in case I’m somewhere I have no extra chair I just pop it in and then it can hang or even go on the floor without fear, but i carry it a lot and I’m not precious with it, and it looks perfect. It’s got two zip pockets, two slip pockets, and a very tight secure magnet. The charms aren’t noisy, maybe because the leather is softer, though the chain links make noise when you sit it down. The shopper is more useful, has the gorgeous quilting, soft leather, but way more useful and not frustrating!

[@nickymmm1]

I love Diors sparky mini's! I have the Lady Dior in medium which I love and use - agree not an everyday bag as it needs to be looked after but a classic / would never let this go!

[@ameliarosescloset]

thank you so much!

[@traingirl.meghan]

I totally agree with everything you said on the lady dior! It's one of those bags that you should only buy if you're head over heels in love because it's soooo fussy 😄

[@ameliarosescloset]

Exactly!!

[@StylishandGrateful]

Good overview.🌻 I’m considering getting a newer one, I have the old zip top in medium and love it! I’m not sure about the flap I would prefer the zipper top bc it can be left open or closed. Mine is white and I use it a lot, no issues.😊

[@ameliarosescloset]

Oh fab, maybe the flap will soften with time

[@christieloyd7257]

I am wondering how you got your bag to open up? Mine is a medium zipper and it’s so tight it actually hurts me to put my hand in it as the zippers feel like they’re going to literally cut my arm.

[@shananick1128]

Thanks for sharing, Amelia. Ok i am not that patience to maneuver in and out of it. So that is why i did not get the Lady Dior. It is surely nice and elegant to look at like a piece of art but not for me at the moment unless my lifestyle changed and have a lot of outing at night for the Mini version. For the small it is more practical for me but still an errr...Thanks for sharing such a detail review 😍

[@ameliarosescloset]

it can be very annoying!

[@vanessajohanson-witt5570]

Thank you for sharing this - you have saved me thousands. I would absolutely want to throw this bag across the room on the regular. Life’s too short to fiddle this much!

[@ameliarosescloset]

lol i get that!

[@Happyfitmaree]

I have the mini in patent and it is my favorite date bag. O don’t wear Crossbody but keep the chain to have if I need to be hands free

[@ameliarosescloset]

perfect date bag

[@maryannemoll]

The mini one you have is STUNNING!

[@ameliarosescloset]

thank you so much!

[@lv_lover3393]

Great video love an honest review, I have considered the small but I think they might annoy me! They are stunning tho ❤

[@ameliarosescloset]

thank you so much!

[@reannamohan]

I love the design, but I don't have the budget. So I bought the*preluxz* bag. Made from high quality legal snakeskin made by local Indonesian artists. From now on I never want to buy any luxury goods.

[@JP-kl1mj]

That pink one is one of the most gorgeous things I've ever seen in my life!!!!

[@ameliarosescloset]

thank you so much!

[@spink7404]

Agree with all your comments! I have 4; 1 large (black GHW) and 3 medium (Black SHW, Lotus CHW & Latte CHW) both my black ones have the zip and other 2 have the flap. Zip is beautiful and I love the charm however makes it harder to get things in and out of the bag (not so much on the large) I don't love the flap but makes it easier to see everything inside and take things in and out!

[@ameliarosescloset]

Thank you!

[@susanh1447]

I have that same Dior in black with gold. I sympathize with you on ALL of those points but I LOVE the looks of it SO much I put up with all of her idiosyncrasies…just like my little Mercedes convertible, Pippa, who is always in the shop.

[@ameliarosescloset]

pippa - class name!

[@AnUrbanGypsy]

Aren’t the handles supposed to be part of the charm of the Lady Dior as they were specifically designed to form the initials of Christian Dior when they fall open? I think that’s a nice touch, as are the Dior charms, but I can’t be doing with jangly things on a bag 😕.

[@ameliarosescloset]

maybe but makes them awkward i think!

[@livingluxwithmeredith]

Most beautiful annoying bag ever!! My large has the zipper top and it makes the world of difference!

[@ameliarosescloset]

is the zipper easier! i imagine it would be

[@TheDebster44]

😂 love this! ❤ But how do the handles flop down when worn crossbody? Mine stick up? Maybe you attach the strap at a different place? I do have the medium, maybe that’s different.

[@ItsOnlyWarPaint]

It looks its best when hand held

[@ameliarosescloset]

Agreed x

[@RoSez888]

Thank you for your informative video. I like the pink one, but you're right about the bag's impracticality. Since you like small bags, what do you do with your phone when you go out in the evening but can't fit your phone in your bag?

[@ameliarosescloset]

Phone fitting in is a deal breaker for me!

[@Broady1985]

I love the look of some bags but my practical nature just easily gets annoyed. I have the mini LV mini bum bag and I love how it looks. However, my iPhone Pro Max needs to sit at the back to fit and then when you line your other things up in front to get everything in, the phone is a nightmare to get in and out of and it just really annoys me. To the point where I put my phone in my pocket sometimes or, I just don’t use it and get my partner to use his 😂 “I can’t get my phone out because I can’t be bothered, can I use yours” 😂

[@ameliarosescloset]

That's like something i would do!

[@albinavakhitova9793]

Hi Amelia ! How do you like the Dior djoy bag medium size in celestial blue color ? Do you think it’s worth keeping ?

[@ameliarosescloset]

The d joy has really grown on me, and easier to use than the lady Dior

[@melissamann6422]

I have several small lady Dior bags and I wear then all crossbody style. No issues with the handles at all.

[@ameliarosescloset]

I just need to get used to it!

[@neebieslittleluxuries]

I described the same irritation of the lady Dior in a recent video of mine lol. Despite that I’ll never get rid of it 😂😂😂! But I ADORE the new Djoy. The handles go all the way down! It’s great!

[@ameliarosescloset]

I haven't quite found the right d joy yet....

[@RERTOxCRAFT]

My main concern is will my Tesco meal deal fit in there 😂. Also what bag accessories, inserts or bag charm do you recommend with the ultra Matt?

[@ameliarosescloset]

I’d be worried about attaching a bag charm to an ultra mat to be honest

[@lisatakeitorleaveit]

Agree ! I had a beautiful one in fuchsia loved the look of it but I had to sell it - it was way too annoying- I picked up a Fendi baguette in the same color, and it scratched that itch- this bags are beyond annoying 😂 I had the zip and my daughter-in-law had the flap and we both hated them :-)

[@ameliarosescloset]

Oh no!

[@vivyrox7202]

yup tried it and saw how annoying it was going to be for me.... so I opted for another bag.....and it's also not a very flexible bag....

[@ameliarosescloset]

No it's not, you're right

[@minhchaulacthuc212]

everything is on point. thought i was the only one feeling annoyed by the handles and the flap ( mostly the handles)

[@ameliarosescloset]

Thank you!

[@angiesubiaolivo1972]

For your first Dior bag do you recommend the saddle bag, the lady Dior or the Djoy?

[@ameliarosescloset]

ohh i don't have. a d joy, but the saddle and lady dior are very different looks, lady dior if your style is more classic/elegant, saddle for a more street/casual type style

[@ACerna-su3tp]

I have a few of these bags… And can ´t say anything bad about them… actually I would say that Lady Dior large is one of the best work bags… it easily fits A4 documents, flap is without problem, leather is in good condition… it is also relatively light unlike other fully leather bags… also small ones are great, no problem wearing crossbody… maybe it is due to frequent use..

[@ameliarosescloset]

maybe i need to get more used to it

[@reneehampton7665]

I love a handheld bag. I have a vintage Lady Dior and love it. No it it is not an everyday bag.

[@ameliarosescloset]

true not an everyday bag

[@Reeniepie]

I was wondering about the handles. They look a bit hard and uncomfortable. I'd be willing to get over all the other little annoying things for some of the gorgeous prints or pastel colours.

[@ameliarosescloset]

Same, i can live with them!

[@thepursenurse]

Still love mine despite all of the irritating things… it is a stunner!,,❤❤❤

[@ameliarosescloset]

It is!

[@heathersluxlife3040]

I have two Lady Dior bags. Are there inconveniences? For sure. But they are so stunningly beautiful that I will completely overlook any inconveniences.

[@ameliarosescloset]

Exactly this!

[@RERTOxCRAFT]

Too late bought it 😮 😂 only because I got it in a mini brands handbag toy 😂. I have very bad diagnosed OCD and I can’t let things get scratched or scratches it gives me bad anxiety 😥 so the way I get over it is I buy it second hand now and I don’t have to worry about getting it scratched because it comes scratched and I can throw the bag about put it in the airport X-ray things ( which used to trigger me with my MacBook they scratched it once I couldn’t even use or look at my MacBook for 6 weeks 😢

[@ameliarosescloset]

This makes sense, easier and more enjoyable to use

[@deborahcurtis1385]

Annoyances were very competently covered! It is of course, an iconic bag utterly evocative of Princess Diana

[@ameliarosescloset]

it is, and i love it anyway!

[@HandbagDiva]

I just bought a small in iridescent pink. I absolutely adore the colour & the charms etc. but the handles annoy me to no end. You have to tie them when it sits in the shelf, I agree it looks bad crossbody, the handles are right under my boobs. Every thing you mentioned as cons are exactly what bothers me about it. I’m thinking of exchanging it for another bag in the same colour that’s more user friendly.

[@ameliarosescloset]

i love it but it def isn't easy

[@antikaprn]

May i ask, how much did you buy it for and in what currency? Which month in 2023 was this collection released?

The pink Dior I am sure it costs maximum 200 GBP to make so with over 100% margin it shouldn't have crossed the 500 GBP. We're getting so ridiculed by the capitalists that they're charging us 500% more, I really think girls and women should boycott these houses, or at least support the indie brands who really care about quality and their customers.
