Why? Seriously, that is all I keep thinking when I look at this bag. And, Im not even talking about the price yet. Im just going to start off by saying, the Dior Samourai 1947 Woven Bag is a definite no-go for me. I am sure that hours of work go into putting this bag together, but, its just not working for me. The textural grained leather woven together like a basket looks way too busy. Now, add the leather handles with tie detailing and serpent ring attachments and youve got yourself a bag worthy of a headache. The other thing that bothers me about this bag is that the leather doesnt even look soft. Beyond that the handles appear to be practically painful. I mean look at the handles, doesnt it seem like if you were to go and grab the bag as you run out the door that there is a good chance you would scratch yourself? In the end, this bag is far too ornate for me. There are plenty of other Dior handbags I would consider buying before this one. And I hope you are ready for this, you would need to put down quite a few of your precious pennies in order to take this bag home with you. If you can pull of this bag, go for it, but its not for me.
