FRA9 · COMPARISON
Choose by use, not noise.
Lady Dior: structure and Cannage
Lady Dior combines rounded handles, a crisp structure, D.I.O.R. charms and Cannage quilting. Size strongly affects use: smaller versions read as precious objects, while larger ones add capacity but retain a structured opening. Check that phone, wallet and glasses fit without forcing the sides.
Saddle: shape before volume
The saddle-shaped asymmetric silhouette defines the model but makes interior volume less regular. It suits a curated set of essentials better than rectangular packing. Test strap, balance on the hip and closure access before choosing among leather, canvas and embroidery.
Book Tote: surface and weight
Book Tote is defined by a broad textile surface, open access and graphic presence. Measure what you actually carry: laptop, files and bottle quickly change the weight. With embroidery, watch corner friction, pulled threads and contact with floors or colour-transferring clothes.
Toujours and newer proportions
Toujours uses a softer silhouette, Cannage and a CD closure. Variations change by season, so do not rely on the line name alone. Record dimensions, leather, lining, closure, strap and weight for the exact reference shown in store.
Service, personalisation and resale
Personalised embroidery can strengthen attachment while narrowing the future buyer pool. Ask about cleaning and repair before purchase, keep invoice and reference, and photograph the item when new. Resale value depends on demand, condition and selling costs; the retail price never guarantees it.
