Dior Is Selling a Jaw-Dropping Advent Calendar, But You’ll Need to Win the Lottery to Afford It
Published on Oct. 25, 2024
Sticker shock is never more real than when it’s time for luxury brands to release their advent calendars. The 2024 Dior advent calendar, named the Trunk of Dreams, costs a whopping $4,400, which, to put it in perspective, is the exact same price as the beloved Dior Saddle Bag. But do you get to open the Saddle Bag every day and be wowed by something new? I think not.
So, what exactly does a mortgage payment get you in the luxury advent calendar world? Read on to find out.
What is the Dior advent calendar?
The Dior advent calendar features 24 drawers with 27 products. As the price suggests, this isn’t your average advent calendar. Instead of chocolates, you’ll be greeted with Dior perfume, lipsticks, nail polish, hair perfume, skincare products and more.

Take into consideration that there are 27 products and it starts adding up quickly.
