Book Tote

Well after years of resisting the book tote.... this happened... of course post price increase but that’s life! I was debating between the TDJ and oblique (both small). Did I get it right?

They’re both beautiful styles, I have both but got the TDJ first since I’m scared it might one day go away. The oblique will always be there

True! Which was what I was thinking when I bought it. But then I think I am only going to get one tote.... shrug.

You got it right! TDJ is more beautiful and interesting to look at. Congrats!

Will do! I mainly got it because I have the never full gm size and then the birkin 30 but nothing in between. And I was hoping to use it when I travel (when that finally happens).

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.

I justify having one of each size for the same reasons, and these are great choices!

After a year of thinking about the Book Tote, I finally got one!!

Hi book tote lovers! I’m so curious if you find these bags sag a lot over time on the bottom? I’ve heard the leather ones are prone to doing so but does this happen with canvas ones too? I’m curious but i also feel a shaper/organizer could be a good option in that case. Thanks in advance!

Hey all, I just got my first book tote and wanted to know if this was normal: there is some lose stitching on the c, t and o. I mean if I back up I don’t notice it as much but if I’m holding it in front of I see it.

This happened with a Catherine tote I had too. I don't know if it's normal since that's the first non-leather bag I've bought from Dior in over a decade, but you're definitely not the only one.

Yeah mine looks like that too. I’d say it’s normal and part of the vintage-y design.

Thanks @Prettyinpnknwht and @Kuschelnudde for the feedback! Good to know it’s been seen before. I will leave it then.
I was taking a closer look at the border and noticed it’s not fully embroidered in blue, does this look about same for all the book totes as well?
