Hi,

I own three Bobby bags by now with another one on the way. Neither the smooth calfskin nor the opening bothers me, the opening isn’t small enough that it has been problematic to get sunglasses or my phone in/out of the bag. It only makes it feel more secure. It’s my most used bag to the point where all my other bags aren’t being used except for my daily “go to work” bag. I purchased my first Bobby the same day it launched and it’s holding up really well.

Hi, I remember when you posted about getting your first Bobby. :) Which one of your three is your favourite by now and which one are you getting next?

Hi,

I love them all equally, but they have different purposes in my wardrobe. The small is super cute, surprisingly dressy and with a gold chain strap I use it for going out and dinners etc.. If you’re getting only one Bobby the medium is perfect. It can be dressed up and down and easily double as a bag to bring on a night out and as well as a casual travel/errands handbag. It fits essentials plus some and I use it every time I run errands etc.. The large I returned because I didn’t like the adjustable guitar strap. If it was made with a regular leather strap I would’ve kept it. It’s an easy bag to use for everyday as long as you don’t need to carry documents or a laptop. It fits my iPad mini, a make up case, glasses etc etc and tons of stuff so it would be a great smaller workhorse/everyday bag.

I’ve got a grained leather one in medium for bad weather and I have a golden/cognac one on the way. I might get the ocean blue medium one in grained leather too and then I’m done for a while :)

Hello there thinking to get the grained Medium Dior Bobby in beige as my one and only Dior bag

https://www.dior.com/en_int/product...-medium-dior-bobby-bag-beige-grained-calfskin

Do you guys think the Dior Bobby will stood the test of time? Hope that they won't change their logo in the future as i think the CD on their bags now are the most classic looking :doh:

The CD logo is actually from the Parfums Christian Dior line, which has been used for several years before Maria Grazia Chiuri unified the bags with the same logo.

I think that the Bobby is one of those bags that is immediately appealing, and the shape is easy to wear and classic. Even if Dior discontinues it, I don't think it will look dated. It is similar to the Miss Dior bags before, which still look like classic Dior designs even though they were discontinued years ago.

I asked an SA this same question because Dior has historically had a habit of changing logos, and he said that there is such investment in this logo across so many lines now (caro, 30 montaigne regular and box bag, bobby, st honore) that it bodes well for longevity. I also think that it's the most classic looking logo Dior has had thus far, and to @averagejoe 's point, it can't hurt that the beauty brand is also unified under the same logo. MGC has been driving commercial success for the brand, so it'd surprise me if they hired a new creative director soon (a new creative director might be more likely to put their own mark on the brand, including swapping out logos).

That said, no one really knows what Dior will do. The bobby is a timeless style and the logo is relatively small. That beige color you picked out is gorgeous!

Does anyone have a comparison of the cognac vs dark tan? I have found dark tan too "red" and am wondering if cognac is still dark but less red...

Just from the pics on the website I would say the cognac is not lighter, but less red. It is such a gorgeous colour and I really hope Dior will release it in the grained leather.

Hi,

Some of you wanted to see the cognac colour so here it is. It’s a great shade - not too light, not too yellow or red. However, mine is going back to the boutique in exchange for the Bobby in ocean blue. I find that the cognac looks better in pictures than in real life. Both in this photo and in photos from my SA it’s so vibrant and... shiny? In real life it looks a little dull and kind of “shallow” - not at all the rich hue that’s visible through the camera lens. The bag itself of course is gorgeous as always.
