Dior Bobby

[EveyB]

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.

Thank you for posting this. I see what you mean, it really looks different from the website pics.

Thank you so much for sharing this! I've been wanting the cognac bobby and regretting my dark tan a bit, but now with your feedback I feel better about having the dark tan instead

Does someone know, or could be so kind and ask their SA, if the Bobby will be released in camel or cognac grained leather? Thanks!

This is the version I'm holding out for. A medium grained cognac. Fingers crossed it's released! I'll buy it day one. I want this bag so badly, but the stiff box leather is making me hesitate simply because I want this to be an everyday bag that can stand up to hard wear.

I called customer services and they told me that the bag exists, it even has an item number, but it is not being produced right now and It could have been produced only for the runway show. They told me to call again in two to four weeks. We’ll see!

That's super helpful. Thanks. It's funny because if you look at the page for the smooth cognac in the medium size, the photos are actually of a grained bag. Hopefully they make it available soon - it seems to be a popular color.

I spotted a new color of the grained Bobby this morning on the US Dior site. Warm Taupe. Not the Cognac I was hoping for, but it's still a beautiful medium neutral. Here. Reminds me of Etoupe. For some reason it doesn't show up in search results yet, but it is 'Add to Cart'.

I think this is the Dark Tan Box Calfskin...

Hi,

No, the one I posted a picture of was the cognac colour which was a new colour for spring/summer 2021. The guide you refer to was made before the cognac colour was released and therefore it isn’t included. The dark tan is more red and a deeper/darker shade than the cognac. I waited for the cognac to be released and never purchased the dark tan because it’s too red for me. The cognac is a perfect brown-camel shade, but just a little dull and boring in real life compared with stock photos in my opinion.

Thank you for the clarification! Sad that it looks quite dull irl because I really love this color and have been eyeing it. I really would imagine it to be shinier.

Dropped by our local Dior and happy to say that the cognac wasn’t as dull as I expected.☺️ I actually fell in love with it and ended up taking one home. Funny though because the SA also showed me a cognac Montaigne 30 and that one seemed more dull (?). I dunno.. Anyway cognac really is a perfect shade of brown as Twiggy has mentioned. As for the shine, I didn’t find it flat irl so I think best to see in person!
Here are some pics from the store. Can you guess what I took home?

Looks very good on you! Did you get the medium and a guitar strap?

I'm assuming the Bobby and the strap.

The Box leather is quite polished in real life, so it appears shiny to me. The new grained leather has a more matte finish.

I ended up buying the cognac too in a small. I absolutely love it but I don't have any other handbags in box leather.. Besides the basics, is there any leather care tips you girls can share?

I actually already have the strap at home but I snagged the one and only piece in small. Just really found the small more stylish and fresh but the medium (right photo) is nice too. Small fits my phone, my bi-fold wallet, small hand sanitizer, keys, & lipbalm.☺️
