This is going to be a post all about my stunning Dior Book Tote. A number of years ago, when this handbag was first released, I knew that I had to get my hands on it. In typical Dior style, they did an Instagram roll out of this product. At the same time, influencers all over the world shared images using this Dior Book Tote.
From then, I was hooked. I went online to take a look and it was just shy of £2,000. I had the money in the bank to buy it, but I was sceptical. Almost £2,000 for a canvas bag seemed like hell of a lot of money and I was pretty nervous. If I ever second guess something, I give it some time. I think I managed to wait a whole month before I caved and purchased this. Here is why I love it…
Why I wanted this.
As I mentioned above, as soon as I saw the influencer roll out, I had to purchase this bag. Everything about it just spoke to me. I literally more or less made a business case to myself about why I had to add this to my collection. For a long time I had been using my Louis Vuitton Neverfull on a daily basis, but I fancied a change. Not only that, but I wanted something that looked a bit sharper and not as laid back. It was my first ever purchase from Dior and it has been a slippery slope from there!

Where I use this.
Back in the day, when I started buying designer handbags, I would only use them for special occasions. That is because they cost that much, my shoestring budget couldn’t afford to replace it. So the logical thing in my mind was to keep them protected from the elements and ensure that no harm would come to then. I could not be more different now. I love to use my designer handbags and bloody hell do I use this Dior Book Tote. The amazing item has travelled far and wide with me and I will never give up on it. Whether it is a casual or formal occasion, I opt for this bag.

How I feel about the monogramme.
Something that really seems to divide opinion is the monogramme of this Dior Book Tote. I have to be honest, when I first saw this, it was the monogramme that won me over. I feel like the Dior Monogramme was massive in the noughties when I was a child and there was an air of nostalgia around it for me. However, I know that some people are very opposed to monogramme. For me, this simply comes down to personal preference. I have always been a lover of a monogramme, regardless of the brand. That is no different when it comes to this Dior pattern.
Â
The size and shape.
The main selling point for me about this Dior Book Tote is the size and shape. I need a large handbag for an everyday basis. I carry everything with me on a daily basis because I like to be ready for every eventuality. For me, I really adore the boxy shape because it makes the inside of the bag a little like a Tardis. I have seen that some people think that the size and structured shape make it a little difficult, but for my everyday bag, it is ideal. For me, the size of this rivals the Louis Vuitton Neverfull, but I love that this has great structured sides.

If I would recommend.
I am sure that you guys will already be able to tell, I adore this Dior Book Tote. Never have I had such a versatile bag and I always love how it looks. It has never let me down and it always looks as chic as hell. Everything about this bag makes it a winner for me and because of that I would always recommend it. Whether you want an everyday bag, a travel bag or a work bag, this is the bag that you need to purchase. It will last a lifetime and always look truly stunning.
I hope that you guys liked this post on my stunning Dior Book Tote. As you may have seen if you have read my blog for a number of years, I love bags. I have so many in my collection and there are so many more that I want to purchase. However, I do have to say that the Dior Book Tote has been such a winner for me. I have used this more than I care to mention.
For an expensive designer handbag, I have really put this through the ringer and used it to death. It is very fair to say that I have got my moneys worth out of it and I wouldn’t think twice about purchasing it again. Leave me a comment below and let me know what you think about this item. Are you a fan, or could you find it cheaper elsewhere?
