DIORAMA CANNAGE TOPSTITCHED BAGS
Categories:Other Brands
The Diorama has been reinvented again and they’re looking better and better. This version is so good that we do not know whether anyone can resist the temptation.
Meet boyish bag of Dior and here’s what you need to know…
The print is brand-new, but does it remind you of something?
Think…
Yes, it’s look similar to the Cannage Topstitching of the latest UltraDior Bag.
So what’s the deal? The Cannage Topstitching looks different than the Cannage Stitching of the Lady Dior. You see, the pattern is flat and smooth.
The leather is strong and durable and just like any Diorama Bag, the design is quite sophisticated. There is a lot going on. The Cannage Topstitching is only decorated on one part.
The chains are large, strong and beautiful. The shiny hardware is quite impressive. But the bag is not complete without the crest-shape closure in the center.
Now, we do not have the prices yet or the style code. This is the medium size, measuring 25 x 1.5 x 8 cm.
What do you think?

Bag Battles: Chanel Boy Bag vs. Christian Dior Diorama Bag
Categories:Other Brands
The super-popular Chanel Boy Bag and the new-but-coveted Christian Dior Diorama Baghave a lot in common. The bags are both fairly new marquee additions to their respects brands’ lines, likely intended to appeal to a younger audience that might find their respective’ brands legacy offerings a little too ladylike. They also have similar structures and shoulder straps, but there are some noteworthy differences.
The Boy Bag, despite being a little edgier than the Classic Flap, does tend to have the sense of traditional luxury to it that generally characterizes Chanel bags. By the same token, the Diorama skews considerably more futuristic, which is Raf Simons’ general preference in interpreting Dior’s enormous aesthetic legacy. The bags have functional similarities, but the brands have chosen to take them in two distinct directions.
As for value: the bags are priced very similarly, and they come from brands that generally command prices at similarly high levels. There’s no clear edge one way or the other here.
In this Bag Battle, it’s impossible for me to pick a favorite overall; my preference comes down to the two specific versions of the bag being compared at any given time, and since both come in many sizes, leathers, colors and finishes, there are a lot of possible answers. Let us know which bag you like best in the comments!
CHANEL BOY BAG
STARTING AT $4,000 IN LEATHER
CHRISTIAN DIOR DIORAMA BAG

The Christian Dior Diorama Bag Has Arrived in Stores
Categories:Other Brands
A lot of great things have happened to Dior's accessories line under the leadership of Raf Simons and his creative team, and now there's one more that bag shoppers can add to the list: the Christian Dior Diorama Bag, which officially launched in boutiques in mid-March as part of its debut with the Spring 2015 collection. Below, we've got a look at over two dozen versions of the bag that are available right now.
The design is a compact flap shoulder bag with a part-leather, part-chain strap that's adjustable for different types of wear. The bag fills a spot in the brand's lineup similar to the one the Boy Bag filled for Chanel--an easy-to-wear marquee design that appeals to young, trend-conscious consumers who might find the brand's other bags too ladylike.
Most of the bags feature piped trim in an oversized version of the brand's signature Cannage pattern, but a few lack both it and the shield-shaped front closure. The initial run of the design includes both smooth and grained leathers, as well as prints, embroidery, python and crocodile, plus two sizes: small and medium. Prices start at $3,000 for the small version in leather and top out at $34,000 for the medium in crocodile.
