Book Tote

[Bagatha Christie]

Buying an oblique book tote soon in regular size. Looking for insight on why the navy is so overwhelmingly more popular. I love both navy and burgundy but slightly leaning towards burgundy. I've seen black worn with the navy which encourages me as I do wear some black. Anyways I know it comes down to which color I like best, just divided. Helppppp

For me, the no navy with black thing is over but it does have to be quite a muted combination.

I think more people are into cool tones than warm tones so they find navy a good match for blue/Silver/platinum/pastels etc.

However, lots of people love warm tones: so if you love burgundy then get burgundy. It’ll also look better with beige/brown/green/red

I suppose the thing to do is have a look at your wardrobe & shoes & think about what colours you wear other than black

Me too, I have been thinking about it since first release but the size was too big..then the small size got me thinking again. The fabric material and light colored was another hesitation.

The TDJ is TDF..I finally jump the gun too! Congrats for you, this got my heart too❤

Beautiful! Congratulations!

Beautiful! Congratulations!

Thank you but I m still a bit worried about the light cream color of this bag although i did spray protective layer on it. Because i have a cream color Chanel in jersey material, it have brown spots appearing on the fabric ☹️☹️ just like some old white shirts.

How long does it usually take to have a book tote personalized? It’s been over 4 weeks, and I’m still waiting. Wondering if this is normal.

It depends on how busy they are with it, and also how long it took to ship the item to the site that they perform the personalization at. I'm guessing 4-6 weeks is standard although some people get it a lot faster. I suggest contacting your SA and asking them to follow up.

I just purchased my first book tote - in the navy oblique (my first Dior bag) from my trip in Hawaii!
I was so excited that I forgot to ask the SA how to store it. I was wondering how do you guys store your book totes? I am waiting for my organizer from zoomoni to come in but do you guys store your book tote standing up or laying flat (while in the dust bag of course).
Thank you!

i just got the toile de jouy original sized yesterday (pics below) and legit spent maybe an hour just admiring the embroidery! i don't know if i can ever buy anything factory-made again!!!

Does anyone own the personalized book tote here? Can you share your experiences? Any regret?

i've noticed that on TRR, the personalized dior book totes don't sell as quickly and often have to be sold at a discount. for me personally, i see these bags as assets I'm collecting so don't want to do anything to devalue it right out the gate. that's just one woman's opinion though! i don't love monogramming in general, but if it's something you enjoy, then could be worth it!

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.

hi there! trying to figure out if i should scotch guard mine as well. which pattern do you have?

 

[styleformiles]

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).

glad to hear this because it confirms my suspicion when I noticed a few loose threads on mine right after purchasing from the miami location!! kinda into the imperfections tb

Though I haven’t found the right book tote to purchase yet, I got my around the world Lady Dior embroidery personalized, and I love it! Highly recommend!

i sprayed mine with collonil carbon pro (same concept as scotch guard, apple guard, havre de luxe, etc.) and mine has been perfect / no issues ! i know some may not recommend doing so but i personally think its worth doing and have had a great experience with it - i have two book totes in toile de jouy
