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

Of these two, I prefer the houndstooth, although I would prefer the small grey Cannage version over that. I do agree the Book Tote looks the best in the large size, but I think the grey Cannage is more classic. I thought it came in the large size as well although I could be wrong.

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!

I don't own a Book Tote but from this forum, I think some people don't wrap the handles because they find the handles quite durable and some do, to prevent darkening and also pilling. It may depend on how dry your hands are and/or if you wear rings.

Lots of brands make scarves with lower price points, although there are so many that it is hard to recommend one.

thank you! Yes the grey cannage does come in large. It’s very classic. Iwent to see the houndstooth today and it was so pretty because of the little shimmer on the threading. Thanks for the input again

Oh I didn't know the houndstooth shimmered. Tough choice then. I know the other tote you posted does shimmer. I do love the details in the Cannage embroidery where the embroidery inside each "diamond" is different from the other parts of the Cannage.

I know I gave myself today as my deadline to make decision. It’s between the grey cannage and the houndstooth the grey is so classic and since I want to personalized my first one (yup I’m one of those hehe I don’t plan to resell anyway) I think the more subtle color of the cannage won’t be too loud with it. The shimmer on the houndstooth is so pretty and gives it an extra wow.. I do already have a ysl black tote, it’s not the same, but maybe if I get a print it shouldn’t be with black as I already I one that is. So yup! Deadline today!

Good luck on your decision! Either choice is great, now that I know the houndstooth shimmers.

I have Hermes Twilly's on my large Book Tote. They are a bit shorter than the Mitzah's, but will work. You just don't get any extra length to tie a pretty bow like you do with scarves that are a bit longer.

How often do you use your book totes? Small vs large? I'm thinking if I need both a small book tote and a large book took. I have 3 young boys, so these may be good options. How are they holding up?

Was always in love with the blue TDJ and originally wanted a small but after trying it on in the boutique, I decided to get the large since it does the embroidery more justice.

However, I couldn’t get the classic blue oblique out of my head and just picked up a small one. I’m trying to justify the large one for weekend trips and travel and the small one for more day to day. Not sure how much use I’ll get out of them but they sure are gorgeous to look at.
