Bought 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! 
I guess the only con is that it retails significantly more than the box version ($4600 vs $3550 usd).

I had no idea boxcalf could blister in the rain. This is really making me re-think the bobby. I don‘t mind patina or scratches. Maybe they‘ll come out with different leathers in the future!
Gorgeous! I’ve been drooling over this one, but I sort of like the rigid structure of the box calf. This one seems a little more supple and pliable or what is your impression? Is the leather stiff or soft? Looks amazing on you, congratulations!Bought the bobby in the whipstitch version and love it!

Aww thanks!!
I’d say it feels pretty comparable to the box leather version (in terms of stiffness). It’s more pliable but not significantly so, and is still pretty structured. I have the Celine box bag too, and while I do love the bobby in box leather, I didn’t want a second one. Let us know if you get it!!

You should check out the whipstitch version in grained calfskin - it feels a lot more durable! I just got mine and love it
The Dior Bobby is coming out in a grained calfskin for Spring 2021 (including in black grained calfskin). For those of you who have not bought the bag in box leather because it can show scratches more easily, this grained calfskin version is perfect.
It looks like the only large Bobby on the Dior website that has an adjustable strap is the beige color...I have seen reviews for the other colors and the strap is not adjustable for a longer crossbody length. Can anyone verify this? I am tempted to wait for the grained leather version.
While I haven't seen them in person, I do believe you are correct about the only adjustable strap on the large Bobby bag is in the beige. The descriptions on Dior's website seemed to indicate this if I remember correctly. All bags are the same price; it is rather annoying at this price point that the way the bag falls against (and the location upon which the bag rests) one's frame is being dictated by Dior rather than by the individual wearing it..
Hi, I have the large black Bobby and it has the adjustable guitar strap. I think stock photos online might be old because when the Bobby first was released the strap wasn’t adjustable. The new beige colour was released not long ago and have always had adjustable straps on all sizes. But at least the black large ones are now too made with an adjustable strap so if you see one without it might be from an older batch of bags.
I was finally able to see the Bobby bags in person, and I really like them! However, I’m not a fan of the box leather. I mentioned my concern to the SA and his helpful reply was “don’t wear it in the rain.” Yes. Thank you. But this is London, even if you leave the house on a bright sunny day, there’s a chance of getting caught in the rain and I was hoping for this to be more of an everyday bag.
However, they also had the whip stitch version, which was a grained leather. Loved that, but it’s only in a medium. Hopefully the Spring 2021 collection will have it in a grained calfskin in large. If it does, I’m for sure getting it.

I feel you! I am only looking at the Oblique for the reasons you shared here, but I very much prefer the Burgundy, not the Navy or the Brown that was just released this Fall. I do think the whip stitch version is interesting!
Thank you for sharing! Do you happen to know if the grained version comes in different sizes as well and if the prize will be equal to the box version?

The price should be the same, as that is Dior's usual pricing strategy. As for sizes, based on other bag collections, the grained calfskin should be available for all sizes.
