I ended up pre-ordering the pink one instead, though I have only seen pictures of the bag. Can’t wait for the next shipment to arrive and take my pink book tote home!

Not sure where a proper place to post this article is...but has anyone read this NYTimes article yet? https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/11/...gshYStJ639wXT-7eJW5nqdKnnHBqsEPqG_ITFsJtWXRUM

Call me naive, but I would have thought with the astronomical prices we pay for luxury goods we could at least rest easy knowing it wasn't as a result of exploitative labor situations...I was eyeing a Dior book tote but now I'm not sure my conscious can allow me to go through with it

There are variations of the Book Tote that have no embroideries and are done by machine, except for the construction of the machine panels together (by hand). Those are not related to the embroidery companies mentioned in this article.

I also wouldn't trust just one source of media to make a conclusion about something. Every article is prone to bias, even the most scientific ones. NY Times is definitely not among the scientific ones. There may be a lot of information that has been left out to sell a narrative.

The brands will respond to articles like this, though, because it is bad press even if it may be biased. Their response will put pressure on reducing poor labour practices.

I’m looking for exact same colors. May I ask where you were able to score it? Boutique or resale?

I finally bought the small one. Do you all tied twilly on both handles?
