What’s the drop like? For crossbody bags I like them to sit more at hip level. I feel like a lot of the modeling shots have them awkwardly high up on the back. If you have breasts, it’ll sit awkwardly under your armpit, and that can’t be comfortable to wear...

Seriously considering this in medium, but I think I’ll have to wait until I can try it on in person.

You can actually adjust the strap! Photos when it’s worn on the back seems to have it at a very short setting. Actually, there are three lengths settings, but aside from that, what you can do is sort of make your strap to do an almost double loop making it much shorter. Sorry a bit difficult to explain - I’ve attached two photos for you from the website. The brown one has long version and black one has the strap “looped” making it v short. Haha hopefully it makes some sense!

I love it so much! It's the first Dior bag I've ever liked or imagined myself wanting to wear. I appreciate the quality of the Saddle, Lady Dior etc on other people, but I'm glad that they've finally done a more minimalist option for a customer with a different style. It's beautiful to me - so Parisian.
I'm concerned about scratches on that smooth leather though.

I have this bag and I’m large on top and it’s totally long enough cross body. Comes down to hip level comfortably.

Hi,

I also wear my Bobby on a regular basis (it’s not my everyday workhorse bag, but my absolute go to bag for anything not work related) and it’s holding up just fine. It remains structured and hasn’t lost its shape at all. I know people are worried about the leather but even though I’m not rough with my bags I still don’t hesitate to take it out even if it’s raining. The rain just pearls off the surface and when I dry it off with a dry cloth it’s back to normal. I have two small marks in the leather from my house keys which honestly are super hard to see - I can only see them in certain lights and at certain angles. They’re definitely not scratches or actual punctures of the leather, they look more like I’ve dragged a small rubber over it leaving a slight different shine and structure in the leather if that makes sense? I love this bag and plan on getting another two! :)

Thanks for that. I have the medium Bobby in blue oblique but am thinking of the large in beige or black leather. The medium is just a fraction small for what I need to take as an everyday bag. I am scared of scratching but also think once it’s really worn in it will still look lovely. I love how light they are. Not sure if the wide strap will fall off my shoulder or not though!

The oblique is gorgeous, but I live in Scandinavia where it rains a lot so it wouldn’t be practical for me. If I’d lived any other place than here I’d definitely get an oblique one!

Mine is medium in black because I wanted it to be both casual, but also a little dressy at the same time. I’m planning on another one in black in the large size for more daily use, but I’m curious about the strap too. I really like the normal leather strap on the medium.

I purchased the medium Bobby in black and have been using it non-stop for the past 2 weeks. I am in LOVE! I am very petite (5'0") and I find it to be a great size for me, it holds a small wallet (would hold larger but that takes up a lot of space), slim Gucci sunglasses, keys, iPhone 12 pro, and some makeup with room to spare. I carry this mainly cross body and there is plenty of the room on the drop to be carried much longer (for taller ladies). The shape is holding up nicely and I do not see any visible scratches. I am so impressed with the quality of this bag so far! Here is a picture from the day the bag came for size reference.
