Dior Homme - posting requires reading thread rules!

[5-Hour man]

People are now paying hundreds of dollars for vintage Christian Dior trench coats listed under Dior Homme, even though the tag clearly says "Christian Dior Monsieur". A sign of increasingly stupid people wanting a piece of "Dior Homme"? These things are selling for as much as some real Dior Homme outerwear lately.

I like the shoes better

Visited the DH store today and saw some pretty interesting things from the new collection (mainly a hot short trench with no collar, the black nylon sport jacket and a bling bling shiny pearl jacket).

I got to feel the new tees, and i got to say imo the quality looked superior than the previous ones (not hard to beat) the fabric is thinner but shinier and it has a few made-to-be wrinkles that look cool as you can detect on the LVR pics. I must agree though that the slogan ones are kinda ******** & non sensical. I saw some guy sporting the "I Can't" hoodie and he looked really lame in it, if I wasn't familiar with the collection i'd think it was H&M. Personally i preffer the understated yet unique DH stuff (like the scarf hoodie) , these designs are just too dumb and obvious . a real shame. i'll wait and see if more clever ones appear.

I also checked out the suspenders, and they are much nicer in person, most of it is made of nice firm leather with discrete DH stamps on them. very nice detail. now i must figure if i'll be mistaken for a skinhead if worn with jeans lol, but they'd look sharp with dress pants or a suit with the new ultra skinny ties. voila my humble impressions... oh and the b&w MJ shoes are killer!!

What do the real DH sunglasses come with? What kind of box, extra paperwork, any of that? I'd like a pair of sunglasses but they don't sell Dior Homme anywhere here in Toronto (except for one small store with terribly inflated prices.) eLuxury doesn't ship to Canada, and neither do most of these online sunglasses stores, so I have to go on eBay. From the ones I saw, some come with a grey box saying "Dior eyewear", others with "Christian Dior", or just "Dior."

Please help!

I'm no fake expert but i'd be real carefull with ebay, sunglasses are like the most faked item. I'm also unsure anything is still tagged "Christian Dior" these days..

 

[Chinor1z]

it's kinda tricky with sunglasses. Not only because some are fakes... but if you buy the sunglasses at say a Neiman's outlet you don't get the leather with magnetic closure sunglasses holder. You get the clamshell one that either says Christian Dior or Dior like in the second photo. So even though it doesn't look legit, they may have bought it at an outlet type place....

It's tricky.

 

[dorien]

yeah, i'd be careful to.
plus they might not even look good on you.
that's what i've find out when it comes to sunglasses, to always try them on before purchase.

on a side note, first it was the argentinian guy irritating me, now this s. korean guys keeps posting sh*t online that's not even dh
wankers is what they are.

I reported all that idiot's stuff. Hopefully it'll get taken down for misrepresentation. I've emailed a few sellers like this, and their response is usually something like "Homme just means man". Yeah right, jack*ss. You know exactly what you're doing, and it's really obnoxious.

As mentioned on the MSN forum, Firstview has revamped their site (horribly), and now it is entirely devoid of men's and women's Dior. The site was always crappy in terms of design, but now it's just ridiculous. You have to click on so much sh*t to get what you want. Anyhow, it really sucks that now there is nowhere to get pre-S/S 05 DH pictures. And style.com's pics aren't nearly as good for the newer collections. A while back, I was thinking about saving all the collection pictures on firstview, but thought it'd be a waste of time and space. Oops...bad decision. Does anyone have them all saved?

Neither style nor elle has the dior homme runway pictures, I was wondering where I can see them.

Theres a jacket I love by DH, and a vest, but I think the vest would be too long for me.

Hello all, I am new to the site but have been following this forum for a while now because I am in love with Dior. Since I do not live in NY or LV I have to get Dior online. I noticed a lot of criticism for Dior Homme sellers on eBay and I ask why? If you know what you are looking for you can avoid marked up/vintage items. And if the people buying them are so stupid, why should you care, they are just spending money on what they like as seen from the pictures and not necessarily driving up prices on the items you are after? The fact is they should do more research into what they are buying? But what's this "I reported the auctions because the sellers are obnoxious"? Are you trying to save the "stupid" people (you SAINT), or are you just bitter that some people are earning money however they can which is not really anyone else's business (unless it is a fake item). And which is worse: selling vintage Dior items (which I am sure were expensive and overpriced when the items were new years ago) or buying a bunch of Dior Homme items on 50% sale and selling them for even higher on eBay? (I like to call this practice Dior scalping). Please enlighten me.

The bottom line is that we are all VoTC (pretty much in the desiring of overpriced luxury goods that are not practical and most of us can't really afford). And if we could afford the stuff that easily we would not be bitchin about insignificant sellers on eBay. You know that you can BLOCK certain sellers while doing a search if you use the advanced search option on eBay, I recommend you become familiar with that feature. And please no more self-righteous babble, it's tiring.

Way to be a condescending douchebag in your first post! Actually, I do try to save uninformed people from being tricked into buying misrepresented or fake items. And you know what? Most people are glad to not spend $200 on a fake t-shirt, especially when the real one only costs $175. Imagine that! What a saint I am.

i am not sure to know what is palette

I emailed someone selling a $9,000 retail Louis Vuitton suit. It was an old employees uniform (as it says "Uniformes" on the tag inside). He said it was a limited edition done for the Japan stores. I wish I had met him in person to sock him in his nuts.

 

[andrew]

I think the combo is pretty funny.

And if it makes you feel any better, Alexisanass, misrepresentation of items and spamming in this manner are against the eBay TOS. So yes, they should be reported.

You have a point. If someone is so eager to obtain a garment just because of the name stiched inside then why should I feel bad for them? As far as they are know they are getting what they want. They can see in the pics clearly what they are getting and if they can't tell it's contermpory Dior Homme then they probaly don't care either way.

I understand you not. Is this an insult? Please do not make fun of foreigners as everyone is entitled to fashion and the U.S. was founded by foreigners. Anyways I did not mean to be so harsh in my first post, I will refrain from posting with attitude and leave the bickering up to others. Sorry.
