I did return the micro and switched it with the small. Glad i did. I got gray color now after seeing your video i would like a white one too. ❤For those wondering how the lambskin feels, they are actually scratch resistant so far…
Great video Heidi, I actually tried these bags on the weekend and came to the same conclusion. Sorry your purple baby didn’t work out but maybe that opens another door elsewhere!
hello dear, i'm wondering getting a lady d joy in black ( medium ) but i'm scared about the scratches on the leather ( would use it on a daily basis ) I already have a Lady Dior so I'm aware the charms getting scratches easily. Could give me your honest review about the leather please :D
They use the same leather on the Lady D Joy as a Lady Dior; however, IMO, it doesn’t feel as delicate (maybe bc of the size and the stitching being somewhat closer together, not quite sure). It’s still lambskin leather, so it’s not going to be indestructible but it’s not as delicate as some of my other lambskin pieces from other fashion houses. I think you could use it as an everyday bag, but you’ll likely need to be more mindful when using it if you’re worried about it scratching. I haven’t had any issues with mine, but I rotate my bags/am not using it everyday. Good luck making your decision 🍀✨
Both of these are so cute. If I were to buy a D-Joy I’d have to go with the Medium. I think it’s more flattering on my curvy figure and it fits a bit more.
Unfortunately, I don't know for sure (since I only have the Medium Lady Dior and not the Medium Lady D Joy); however, I do have both Small versions of the LD and LDJ and the hardware is different (the hardware on the Small LD is slightly larger than the Small LDJ). I'd assume the Medium is the same way...hope that helps ♥️✨
Hi! Do you find this bag to be particularly noisy as in literally the dior charms and hardware making so much noise everytime you pick it up or move your body?
Does it make noise - yes. Does the noise bother me - no. When I’m out and about, I hear the charms ever so slightly; however, I’m normally in louder environments (ie stores, restaurants, gatherings), so it’s not super noticeable. In my mind, it’s no louder than if I jingle a set of keys. Hopefully that’s helpful 😀✨
Your review is so impressive. I love the way you explain things, I understand perfectly. I am planning to buy the small version in black soon!! Thank you for the video.
i am eyeing on Small Lady Djoy and thank you very much for your review. i think your Small Djoy is lambskin? pls advise if it is easy scratched or damaged? understand it is sensitive and we need to take good care. i just want to hear how easily it gets damaged please? thank you and keep up your good work.
Yes - it is lambskin. Honestly, the leather has worn really well, with no issues to report thus far. Compared to other fashion houses (mainly Chanel), Dior’s lambskin is pretty good. The only scratches I’ve gotten on it are on the hardware (to be expected though).
@@simply_her_perspective Tks for your reply my dear. i am thinking of getting the small in black color. Some people told me black color is not very nice and the lambskin is not durable.
Compared to other leathers (like calfskin), it can be more delicate; however, it just comes down to how you use it and being mindful. I’ve been really happy with the quality of Dior lambskin, as I have 3 Lady Dior styles (2 regular and 1 D Joy) and I don’t have any scratches or scuffs on any vs. my Chanel mini, which I feel like gets scratched each time I use it (and I’m not hard on my bags). As for the black color, you can’t go wrong with a black handbag - totally chic, effortless, and classic 😎 (black is my preferred color 🖤✨).
I just went to the store in Milan and inquired about the two sizes. They confirmed that D joy comes in two sizes only and your purple one is called 'small' and your white one is called 'medium'. I find the name misleading because the medium is more like a small to me, it is quite small and narrow and is not deserved to be called Medium. But that is what Dior officially call it.
I think the SA may have been confused - at least here in the states, there are 3 sizes (micro, small, and medium). The micro (the purple one) has 3 complete circle/diamond patterns going across the front (with 2 partials on either side), the small has 5, and the medium has 5 (with 2 partials on either side) - here’s a link to Dior’s website to check them out: www.dior.com/en_us/fashion/bags/lady-d-joy
@@simply_her_perspective I like your teachnique of counting the number of full blocks+half blocks that helps to clearify the sizing confusion at lot : )

Ohhh, gray would be a pretty color for this bag. Hope you continue enjoying your Small 🩶✨

Thanks, Dayle - here’s to hoping 🤞🏼
All of your reviews are so wonderfully detailed. Ty Ty Ty!

You explained and demonstrated both bags and their pros and cons so well. Love it! 🙌🏼
Thanks - glad it was helpful 😀✨

I could see that, but then my mind goes to spending a few hundred more for a regular MyABC Lady Dior or even a D-Lite (so many options 😵💫)
So glad I found (& subscribed to) your channel, this review was so incredibly helpful! Thanks for sharing! 😊
Aww, thank you 🥰 I’m glad you found it helpful ✨
Enjoyed your video I really like Dior D bag it will be my first. 😊
Hey Katie,
Do you know if the charms of the d joy medium are the same size as the lady dior medium?
Thanks in advance ❤

Great comparison thanks. Can you do the same with the D joy sample and your lady dior please? Thanks in advance

Great video! I was unaware of all these details, and for me the white one's size seems to be more practical. Thank you 😊
You’re so welcome (and I totally agree) 😀✨
Great video! Thank you! I will go for the small size
Hopefully you love the small size! Which color are you thinking about going for?
Great video, now i am.gping towards the small size❤❤

A little trick I picked up with Chanel Classic Flaps and one that works pretty well with other select styles 😉✨
