This Habit of Carrying Your Mini Lady Dior is Leaving Its Sign of Wear

The Mystery Scuff on the Handle
On most preloved Lady Dior, especially those made of leather, you will notice the scuff on the handles. It's usually spotted on the front side of the handle, but sometimes on both handles. I've been puzzled by how the wear and tear could have gotten there, until one day it suddenly dawned on me. It is the very shoulder strap that causes the signs of wear at this particular spot.
Style or Scuffs
Attach the strap to the outside of the ring. This method keeps your handles upright, preserving that iconic look. However the strap can rub against the handles, leading to eventual wear on the leather. Here's a simple adjustment that can help:
Balance the Look with Functionality
While the aesthetics are essential, you can prevent scuffs on one side by attaching the back side of the ring on the inside. When you carry the bag over your shoulder, your body naturally holds the handle up, which alleviates some pressure and reduces significant wear. By incorporating these small changes, you can prolong the life of your Lady Dior and keep it looking as good as the day you got it. Remember, a little care goes a long way in maintaining your handbag's beauty and functionality.
