I recently ordered the regular size toile de jouy in reverse navy after sitting on it for years (super excited for it to arrive!) because I thought it looked better on me than the small size. But then I fell into a rabbit hole of watching videos and reading others’ opinions after purchasing. I’m now debating getting the small after all. What are all your thoughts on the size difference? Does the large size fit underneath a plane seat or will I be asked to put it in the overhead compartment often? So conflicted!

I have been advised at all Dior boutiques in Toronto and Montreal (Holts, Saks, Flagship, Olgivys) that they do personalization on the Book totes however that it takes 3 months minimum. I decided not to and just bought the Small Oblique Burgundy Dior Book Tote without personalization since I already have 2 Goyard totes that are personalized and did not want to wait over 3 months especially during lock downs.Maybe someone here can confirm, because I'm wondering if (and hoping!) Dior Customer Service is wrong.
I was hoping to get a Small Oblique Burgundy Dior Book Tote, with my name personalized (I never could find stuff with my name spelled correctly as a kid, lol). I reached out to Dior to ask if they do the ABCDior same-day, but the General Customer Service line wrote back and said ABCDior personalization on Book Totes is not available in Canada at this time? But all the stores/concessions in my city say services available are ABCDior Personalization. Is anyone able to confirm? I'm hoping the stores will by open to go into by the week after next
Thank you for the heads up! I ended up buying the Mini version several weeks ago and took it out for it's maiden voyage this past weekend!
Hope you're enjoying your Small in good health!
Today I finally got around to spraying scotchguard fabric protector on my book tote. Happy to report back that it looks okay, it didn't change colour or anything. And I got to try the my new samorga bag organizer that fit perfectly. So now my bag is ready to use.
I have not been able to
to nervous to buy pre-loved and it seems to have sold outMy large is my favorite travel bag - fits a laptop, 2 smaller purses, cosmetic bag, and sandals when I go to florida. I do put mine under the seat.
Thank you - I just bought mine this past weekend - I opted for the burgundy oblique instead of the navy so I most likely will not use it until the fall. Hope you are enjoying the mini version - it is so fashionably adorable!Thank you for the heads up!

I've fallen in love with the book tote from the Chiuri gold capsule collection but when I asked my SA about it she said that its not available in the UK. Sad but its saved me a lot of money.
They have more gold ones coming out for Resort 2022 in November(ish). They're absolutely beautiful! Will share a photo if I find one.
I just purchased my first book tote and I am in love! It is so beautiful. I did find a few minor flaw but I am not sure if they are typical for a book tote or if I should exchange it. Is it typical to have a few minor flaws in a book tote? I would appreciate any insight.

The way I see it, the embroidery "flaws" are halmarks of personalized craftsmanship. No two bags are alike. A thing you might keep in mind are what you think are "acceptable uniqueness". Some might be more to your liking than others (e.g. loose thread on certain parts of the bag vs others).
I love your tote! It’s beautiful and i wouldn’t worry about minor flaws (The one you exchange for will no doubt have other issues lol) it’s the nature of the threads and the fabric (I’m still searching for thr book tote I want, but I do have a Dior around the world embroidery fabric bag)
Has anyone ever had a problem with colour fading on a book tote? My navy blue kaleidiorscope tote has started to go light pink at the top on both end panels. My bag has been at home and out of use for over a year due to COVID so it isn't wear and tear. It's also not about sun exposure. Thanks
