Dior Gaucho

[Caffeine]

This is the only bag I fell in love with since I got my Balenciaga in the past summer. It's gorgeous!
congrats Daisy!

going for the large red - good choice?

MissB: The large red has been known to look sort of.... human organ-ish? That's not to say I personally wouldn't love your bag but it has an interesting profile and the imagery is hard to shake. I really like the large in white... but, have you seen the bag in person? While I like the squishy looks of the large, it is poorly designed as far as function. It's hard to get into and doesn't hold much at all.

Miss Bradshaw! make sure you liike the bag from the side! I don't really like the side view but the rest is nice! have you seen it in person or are you buying online? Also, sienna miller has the large red, there are some recent pics of her with it in the start style thread. good luck!

I am still waiting to see the large white on someone... can someone please post some picture? Oh...and I heard this is going to be a limited release? What about the black ones posted earlier?

 

[missbradshaw]

I saw it in person....I can just about wear it across my body..
im not sure if the medium would be better value though, the large is another £300

 

[Daisy66]

There is a lot more leather on the large than the medium but that is still a huge price increase! Here's another pic of Sienna with her red. Eh... still not feeling it on her.

mmmm...cant decide

the strap is slightly shortly on the medium.

I thinkthe medium is £715 and the large £1020

The medium strap is definitely only for shoulder, it's not going across the body. For me that is a plus, but only cause i don't suit that style. i've seen the red in both large and medium, the colour is so great. Pah Sienna just can't carry it off.

I just noticed that the white large bag on Eluxury is gone.
Is it going to be a style offered in every season going forward? anybody knows? I really want the large white bag but I think that I am late for this season.

Not really liking that "red"... Wish it would be brighter.. a more true red.

I know it will be offered next season in black among other colors that I dont know of. I dont think you're too late though, you should call and be put on the waitlist. I have a feeling that they'll be making tons of these and everyone who wants one will get one eventually.

people on purseblog.com are saying that the gaucho is limited edition?

 

[Guessgirl96]

There were pictures of some pre fall pieces on wwd and the black guacho was one of them

Actually, the one Sienna is pictured with is the older Red - it's more of a burgandy brownish color, which I personally think is really pretty on this bag in person. But my understanding is that the new Red for Spring is more of a true red.

^ I'm a bit confused about what you mean These are the spring bags, the next season will be f/w. The colors for next season haven't been released yet except for the one picture from wwd.

I'm going by what a SA at a Dior boutique (freestanding) told me and showed me in their look book. She actually was a particularly clueless SA, (and the manager didn't know much more than she did), but they were both under the impression that there was both the burgandy and the red. Since as a general rule I personally don't usually care for reds, I was surprised how much I loved the burgandy in person and purchased it on the spot. It's very deep and almost a reddish brown.

Since they haven't received their newest shipment, they could well be confused, but they were quite insistent about there being two colors. Nasty even! Really didn't enjoy my first experience in that boutique though and I've never had issues in others.

Guessgirl - just wanted to update the info above. I was indeed given misinformation about there being two reds. This does not surprise me, but it's annoying - why can't SA's (at the actual boutiques, no less!) have correct information?

Anyway, I think the confusion might stem from the fact that some SA's are considering the Burgandy a brown (which it isn't) and the Brown a green (which it does have an undertone of, but still isn't). Who knows? I'm just tired of having SA's not give reliable information and being so pompous about it that you're afraid to challenge them

Style: While it doesn't surprise me that we (as a collective TFS group!) know more than the S/A's (I find that I ALWAYS do), that's just pretty dumb! It's true though that the brown is officially called green but there's NO mistaking red for brown.
