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

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.

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! 😂

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!🩷

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 ❤

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!

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 😕.

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” 😂
