Thank you! I might play devil's advocate and say yes, you need another book tote...

There it is!
I like it a lot and am happy that I went with a bigger size. It works better for my frame than the smaller tote.
However there’s one thing I’d like to have your opinion on.
my husband argued that the craftsmanship on the ‚Christian Dior‘ is a bit sloppy and that the threads should have been woven more tightly together. As you can probably see in the picture not all areas are perfect. I feel that it‘s due to the nature of how the bag was made but I just wanted to make sure: do you think that the name label looks normal?

Congratulations! I think this is normal, the area is (machine) embroidery, there's a video on how it's made on the Dior YouTube channel.
It looks great on you!
The way the embroidery is done is to keep it thin. Cheaper brands sometimes do it so thickly by overlapping threads that the profile of the logo would almost look rounded/bumpy, which can look cheap. I guess this thinness can leave small gaps but it almost adds to the character of the logo. After all, Maria Grazia's designs tend to look a bit distressed (i.e. aged gold, using the vintage tapestry as the logo canvas du jour), so the small "gaps" look like they fit right in.
Thanks for your feedback!
That sounds reassuring and it confirms my assumption that it‘s due to how the tote is created. It doesn’t bother me since it‘s a vintage look and I assume that this is just how it’s supposed to look. My husband is just jealous, case closed. (Probably not, he has a Birkin... but who needs Hermes when all you need is Dior and Chanel, lol)
So yeah after not being 100% sold on the roller bag I‘m happy to say that it‘s definitely a keeper. It‘s actually my first Dior bag although I like the brand a lot.
Congratulations on your first Dior! It's a great first Dior piece. Are you going to get it personalized? I think you should. It's one of the best bag personalizations among the luxury brands because it is your name embroidered in the same large font rather than a hot stamp or charms like at other brands.
Gorgeous!! I almost got this one but went with the leather version. Did you get this one ?
waiting for Vancouver to receive these new bags. How does it compare to the black and cream version? I was looking to getting it on small but was advised by my SA that it will only come in the grey/cream version
If I’m not wrong, there is a pink version too. I saw it in boutique yesterday. I’m from Singapore.waiting for Vancouver to receive these new bags. How does it compare to the black and cream version?

More SS20 Book tote. All so pretty!!
I paid a full deposit for my classic oblique Book tote which arrived last month but I haven’t taken it home yet as I’m still deciding whether to personalise. For the Book tote owners here, did you personalise yours and if not, could you please share why you decided against it?.

I don't have a Book Tote but if I got one, I would personalize it. I would love to see my name embroidered in the same font as the logo.
If you are the type to sell your bags eventually, though, then I do not recommend personalizing it. It will be very, very difficult to sell the bag at a good price if you personalize it.
I hadn‘t considered it before but you make a good point. Can I only get it personalized at a store? I‘d probably need to plan a trip to Berlin soon then
