Designed with exquisite attention to detail by designer Maria Grazia Chiuri, the Dior Book Tote has become synonymous with casual elegance. Available in a variety of motifs, colors, and four sizes: mini, small, medium, and large, this bag exemplifies Dior’s unparalleled savoir-faire. The design of the Book Tote, particularly the iconic Dior Oblique motif, comes to life through an exclusive three-dimensional embroidery technique, executed by the petites mains in Dior’s workshops.
The assembly of the Book Tote is an art in itself, starting with the attachment of the two handles that allow it to be carried both by hand and over the shoulder, followed by the careful stitching of the side and central parts. The final touch, a delicate golden seal, is affixed to the bag, which is also adorned with a large “Christian Dior” signature. This meticulous craftsmanship, carried out in Dior’s Italian workshops, ensures that each Book Tote is a coveted object that adds a bold accent to any silhouette.
