Description
History of the Model: Introduced by Maria Grazia Chiuri in 2018, the Dior Book Tote bag quickly found its place in the world of contemporary luxury. Designed to meet a nomadic lifestyle, it is inspired by archive travel bags while adopting a refined and functional silhouette. The Oblique pattern, designed by Marc Bohan in 1967, is brought up to date through this modern reissue, which has become an essential piece of the Dior collections since the end of the 2010s. Exterior Details: The thick cotton jacquard canvas features the Oblique pattern in midnight blue and ivory over the entire surface. The dense weave reveals a careful finish, highlighted by the central band embroidered with the name of the house. The visible stitching is regular and robust, consolidating the corners and the flat base of the bag. The handles, also covered in canvas, are firmly fixed and retain their initial shape. Its generous dimensions — approximately 41.5 cm wide, 35 cm high and 18 cm deep — make it a model suitable for everyday use as well as short stays. Interior Details: The bag is unlined, in accordance with the original design of the model, highlighting the reverse of the jacquard canvas which retains the tone-on-tone pattern. The absence of internal pockets or compartments contributes to the lightness of the whole and its large storage capacity. This minimalist design aligns with the practical spirit of the tote bag while remaining faithful to the codes of Dior elegance. Product Condition: This model is in very good condition, with a well-stretched canvas and solid handles. Very slight signs of use are visible on the corners. The interior is clean, without stains or deformations. The embroidered inscription remains clear, and the jacquard does not show any pulled threads. Maintenance Tips: To preserve the clarity of the pattern and the structure of the bag, it is recommended to store it away from direct light and in a fabric cover. Clean gently with a soft brush to remove dust and avoid prolonged contact with moisture or abrasive surfaces. Avoid excessively heavy loads in order to maintain the original shape of the tote. Why Choose this Product: This large format Dior Book Tote bag from 2019 embodies a rare balance between practicality and a strong visual signature. With its Oblique pattern and its emblematic format, it is aimed at lovers of iconic pieces who wish to integrate a recognizable accessory into their daily lives without ostentation. Perfect for fans of recent vintage, it represents a milestone in the stylistic renewal of Dior under the Chiuri era, while retaining great functionality.
