So my daughter went to Dior in Paris and they can indeed get the large Mutabilis tote. But she would have to order and pay. This is too risky to me. I would at least like to see a picture before but that seems ce n'est pas possible. ;-(

Beautiful. You don’t need much more than a tee and a pair of gray jeans (or shorts in the Summer) to carry this tote. I like it that you also get a muted side to wear.
Yes that's what I've been convincing myself! I was also really nervous about the bottom being the solid light color and that's not really a concern either.
Actually, that is expected and not uncommon as they call it a "reserve", I had to do that for both the ATW book tote that I purchased from Dior in Los Angeles as well as the laser book tote from Dior in Honolulu. Even though I prepaid for the totes, I still have the option to return it once it arrived. I am not sure if your daughter is living in Paris where she would receive the tote there or if it will be shipped to the U.S. Either way, she could ask / confirm their return policy. When you say, it's not possible for you to see the picture...they don't have a way to confirm what she is ordering? I would think they would be able to view it in their look book?
Oh I know we would have to make a payment for the order. That is not my issue. We were just hoping to see a the real tote in the store before we do that. Because at that point I am buying it, right? She did not ask for the return policy but we know that it is in general not as generous as in the US. And yes, she is living there now and it would be delivered there. In any case, she likes to go back there and we will ask again.
I totally agree! Unfortunately people are so keen to buy some pieces that if they aren't reserved this way, then we may have no chance of getting them. It sometimes makes for a frustrating shopping experience. We see pictures of things we may like but we aren't sure of yet, but have to commit to. They do refund if we don't like it, but I rather not go through that hassle. It's worse for clothes because we don't even know how they fit necessarily, although they offer free alterations. And then sometimes we see the arrivals in store and wish we reserved them because they are no longer in our size (I guess for bags that won't matter).
Ah...ok, I understand. I hope she is able to work with someone that us empathetic and hope Dior's policy is the same worldwide as a company. Best of luck...
Yes, I would also not just like to pay several thousand of dollars for a bag I can not look at in person. To me the right answer would have been "If you are interested we will get this model and then you can decide." They obviously can get it. I know it does not work that way though.
Also, in Paris they are not exactly friendly in Dior my daughter said. I can not imagine that the return process is so pleasant. She wanted to take a picture from another bag but they almost did not let her. As if that diminishes the value. But she insisted in her American way.
She sent me this. I know not a tote and probably not the right place here but I'd love to share it. It is absolutely beautiful. What is this design called?

Yes, the brand can get the item in without a client having to pay first. I understand that some clients may waste their time with it, and also cause the brand to spend money on shipping an item to the boutique that ends up not getting sold, but wouldn't that speak also about the desirability of the item? If it were an amazing product, then it should sell even if the client chooses not to buy it.Yes, I would also not just like to pay several thousand of dollars for a bag I can not look at in person.

I find it strange when a store has a no photos policy, especially for luxury goods. Once, I was at an optical store trying on eyeglasses frames and I asked my brother to help me take a photo of me wearing the frames because I cannot actually see what I look like with the frames without my prescription lenses. The salesperson said no photos. So we left. Did he even understand why people need glasses?
The Lady Dior in your picture is absolutely beautiful!
Here are some new Dior Collection....Yes, I would also not just like to pay several thousand of dollars for a bag I can not look at in person.

This design is Multicolor Mille Fleurs Embroidery. It also comes in a small book tote.
Have you seen the Dior Hibiscus? On the U.S. website there is a small (& mini) book tote...not sure if they made in the large size. The design is created for the celebration of the 2021 Lunar New Year.
Thank you for the information. These are all so super pretty. And seeing my daughter's photo of the Mille Fleurs Lady D they look even better in real life. I have to think about this now...
Hi Everyone! Wondering What you do to preserve your book tote handles, or if you don't feel they need it. Do you use the Dior Mitzah scarf, or does an Hermes twilly also cover them (or is it too short?). Any other scarf brands you would recommend with a lower price tag? Thanks!
Hi guys. So I’m all over the place, I was decided on the grey cannage but then I had a thought that the large tote looks so much better with a little statement. The grey cannage might be for like the small tote size. So looking into these as color is more year-round and probably easier to maintain. Thoughts? I have like till the weekend before the increase! It’s like a deadline haha
