I knew I wanted this book tote the moment I saw it. The fall 2020 collection came out a few days ago in Canada, and I’d like to think I lucked out by walking into a store for it. It’s so beautiful, I can’t stop fawning over it.
is it heavy? easy to use? Would you buy again? I love the fabric, but the fabric handles are a huge NO for me with a toddler lol
My name is 8 letters and they put it on the small
This was my first choice too! But ended up getting the Rosa Mutabilis print because it came in the small size at the branch I frequent. I hope you purchased this already. Beautiful
This book tote is stunning, just received mine. I am concerned with the general maintenance and color transfer since it is a lighter color. But love it 
Just received my small gray oblique book tote. I had it personalised on the other side. While I like the bag, I do think its overpriced for what it is. Also my biggest bug bear is that already it has snagged stitches, one of which was very noticeable near my name. I had to get a needle to try and push the snagged stitch inside. Not something I expected to have to do on a brand new very expensive bag.
Been waiting for this! Finally got mine too 
I hope the snag isn't bad. Do you have a photo of it?
I find all luxury items way overpriced for what they are. Coated canvas bags are essentially made of plastic but they charge thousands for them.
The snag is on the personalised side and I already managed to push it inside, so no picture.
I ordered the bag over the phone with an SA so didn't really get a chance to feel/hold the bag beforehand. If I had then I would have been much more aware how overpriced the bag was. Plus its extra for personalisation, which having got the bag think should be done for free/complimentary.
The personalization it involves sending the large bag to one of the places that can do personalizations, and then sending it back to the store. The personalization is also very elaborate, and is one of the best I've seen from all the brands. These all add to the cost of the personalization.
I actually love this tote. I think it would be way better than the book tote for every day / travel. I'm very intrigued by the compartments, thought I would be concerned about how to keep the bottom from sagging too much. I am an academic, so I actually need to carry heavy things daily, like books, and a lap top, and an ipad.
