how is this leather working out with scratches, etc? I love this one tooBought the bobby in the whipstitch version and love it! I really like how the leather isn’t as delicate on this one, compared to the box leather version. It feels like it will be pretty hard wearing and that I’ll be able to use this as an everyday bag. I got the houndstooth strap as well (and love the high crossbody look); Dior has really captured my heart these past few months with their bags and accessories!
@averagejoe do you know if the Bobby large will come in pebbled leather as well? Or more colors?
Thank you so much!
Thank you so much!
Not sure yet, but I can't imagine the pebbled leather only coming out in one size. Dior usually releases a finish in all the sizes available.
Happy new year!
So, my love affair with the Bobby isn’t anything new and of course I had to get the small size too. The large one went back to the store because I couldn’t deal with the strap. I absolutely love the large size - it’s by far the most practical size and can be used as an everyday bag - but the really big and heavy oblique guitar strap wasn’t my cup of tea. Had the large Bobby been delivered with a “normal” leather strap I would have kept it no doubt. Anyhow, I got the smallest size for Christmas and this is certainly my new favourite (even though the medium is rather perfect too). It’s super cute and fits more than you might think. I can easily fit my car keys (quite bulky ones with my garage keys attached), jar of Vaseline, my medicine, charger for iPhone, iPhone mini (probably easily could have fitted in a slightly larger one) and card holder. I want this in every colour! Thank you for letting me share once again!

This is a beautiful bag and looks quite versatile too! Just lovely
Beautiful, and awesome to see how much it fits !! Also good to know about your experience with the large! I thought I’d post a couple photos of my medium camel Bobby after around a ~monthish or so of use (granted, much less use than normal given the circumstances). As others have said before, the leather is actually much hardier than expected - I noticed there’s a few small scratches at the top of the 30 Montaigne flap but that’s definitely user error. I had a bulky case on my last phone, and I would have to wrestle it in and out of the flap which wasn’t smart, but they also don’t really bother me that much. There’s also some creasing at the buckle which might be from the opening and closing movement, but again, doesn’t really bother me. Anywhoo, anyone who’s on the fence about the Bobby for the leather, I say go for it!

Ah, your camel Bobby is gorgeous! I really wish I’d gotten one in this colour, but then I’ve been quite Bobby crazy already and I know from experience that I never really wear anything other than black when it comes to bags. How lovely to hear that you two are happy together! I find that I have the same experience with it as you. I have very minor scuffs, but they aren’t really punctures of the leather, more like changes in the surface sheen and not very noticeable. I find the leather to be surprisingly hardy too. I have the same small creases just above the buckle and I definitely agree that it can be from slightly bending the buckle to open the bag. Other than that very little wear or other places that stick out as potential problem areas in the future

Thank you both!! @TwiggyM I love the elegance of the black too! I'm still lusting over the cloud blue and really went back and forth on the two for a while, but I think the camel will be a timeless, classic color I'll get the most use out of. It's a great bag
The cloud blue is gorgeous so I understand your dilemma. But the camel is timeless and in the long run perhaps a tad more classic. I hope you enjoy it for years to come, I’m certain I will with mine
Hey! I am in love with the camel colour, but I didn't want to spend the money until recently and now its sold out everywhere lol. I was speaking to a personal shopper in paris, who told me it is sold out, but she said there is a new colour Cognac and it is similar? Has anyone heard anything about this colour from their SA? Is it a new colour for the upcoming season? My SA only mentioned that the bobby was going to a darker brown for spring-summer, so I'm not sure where this colour came from? Thank you!

What I want is the grained leather in a large size. But with the pending price increase, I’m not sure if I should wait or just go for it now... I feel like I’ll be more inclined to use a grained leather because you won’t have to baby it...
