Thank you ... agree with ease of use but just not sure how much it will hold.

My store will only receive 8 pieces which is why local and loyal customers were approached first to be put on the waitlist. I declined as it doesn’t suit my personal style (it is gorgeous, though, especially on the models shown in the RTW thread) but I was still surprised. Is this going to be the next Saddle/Montaigne hype?
Apparently, the Bobby bag is named after Monsieur Dior's dog! 
THE SAVOIR-FAIRE OF THE BOBBY BAG
The latest Dior leather goods addition, the Bobby bag, designed by Maria Grazia Chiuri, is an emblem of timeless modernity. In order to discover how it is made, it is necessary to go to Italy, where the House’s ateliers are veritable laboratories of the transmission and perpetuation of excellence.
Making its debut with the launch of the Fall 2020 collection, this new design was named after Monsieur Dior’s much-loved and faithful dog, whose name was also given to numerous haute couture looks that have become iconic. “Each collection contained a suit earmarked for success called ‘Bobby’,” the founding couturier wrote in his memoirs.
Available in three sizes – small, medium, large – and in four colors - black, white, camel, and blue Dior Oblique canvas - the Bobby can be carried in the hand, worn on the shoulder, or cross-body thanks to its detachable shoulder straps. The latter come in matching leathers or an embroidered version – depending on the format – offering the possibility to mix and match for a resolutely couture result.
These exceptional designs are realized in Florence, the beating heart of leather goods production, according to a precise and demanding artisanal savoir-faire. Selected for its superior quality, box calfskin conveys both a sense of naturalness and uniqueness. Its highly refined grain and silky smooth feel mean that only the most flawless examples can be used.
Cut out with the aid of patterns, the pieces are then assembled and sewn one by one. The ‘30 Montaigne’ signature is relief embossed in tone-on-tone and finished by hand.
Evoking the bag’s rounded form, the magnetic clasp, hidden by a buckle, is topped with Monsieur Dior’s initials. An ode to the art of detail, the finalized creation is examined with the utmost attention to ensure its absolute perfection.
Possessing an easy and elegant allure, this object of desire is the embodiment of the contemporary essence of Dior, representing a visionary alliance between heritage and creative passion.

I really like it! Hopefully it will be released in grained leather at some point.
Got to play with one today. Black Box mini.
Had a look at the Bobby. It’s gorgeous but the medium is quite small in terms of what it can hold. Would love the large Bobby if it came in oblique. A bit terrified of the beautiful calfskin leather - one scratch and I’d be horrified! Thinking now about a Lady Dior instead.
Actually it’s a good size but because of the internal opening it’s not gonna fit a large phone. My SA’s phone does not fit. Now that I carry mini bags, this is a great size for me capacity wise. Being petite, it also is proportionate. It’s equivalent to my Hermes Constance 18s but too similar so I passed.
Thanks so much. I was hoping it would fit a larger iPhone. I guess I’ll have to look at the medium when it comes out
