This is my favourite size and colour of the book tote, but I’ll be totally stressed out worrying about stains and wear, esp on the bottom and corners as described by you
This bag is definitely beautiful, and I think I would like to add one to my collection someday, but unless they add crossbody options and a button to close it at least a little I don't think it's going to happen anytime soon.
Please take a look at The Furla Opportunity bag. It is similar to the Booktote. It doesn’t come in as many patterns but it is less expensive, has feet and rings to add a strap but no strap.
I agree, it is an absolute work of art! As far as sizes… the small was just too small to be practical for actual use. I got the medium, and I like the pattern surface area much better (there are more pink tones and beautiful flowers shown). Also, with the medium, my belongings sit a little further down inside the bag and I feel more secure that way. I also agree that it is delicate, I am currently researching the best stain protectant. 😊
Yes they’re beautiful aren’t they! The medium is lovely too in this print, in the U.K. we can only choose small or large so I knew I would go for the small. I think I’ll be spraying mine with Carbon pro
Hey! Steph your vlogs makes me so so so so happy and I really love your vlogs so so much you inspired me so so much and I wish you reach 50K Subscribers very very soon!☺️💕💫
😂😂 informative video, but also quite funny how all the things you mention at the start are no cross-body, no lining, no feet, no internal pockets, not leather, very light colour, could ruin the bag BUT!!! it’s super pretty 🤩
Nope it's a no thanks my marc jacobs tote is better because it's more functional. To me it's a waste of money a canvas bag, no strap or closure. Plus I can't even afford it 🙃 😅
This bag is pretty, always been on my wish list but for a couple of reasons, yet to bite the bullet.. the price, the lack of another strap.😅but it is such a pretty bag, beautifully embroidered.
This video put me over the edge and I have what appears to be the last latte Jardin small coming on Thursday! I got it and it says sold out online now. Hurrah, I can't wait!!! Thanks for such a detailed review-it's a special bag for sure!
I ordered one in the medium size and absolutely loved it to pieces. That said, I returned it, I really need a strap and would like feet on the bottom to protect the fabric when placed on a surface. The DLite has feet, why doesn't Dior make this more user friendly? Don't they want to sell bags? If they would give me a strap I would buy the small or medium in a heartbeat! I have the LV leather PM OnTheGo bag and it is a really nice size. But this bag is so special.
How do you find the wear on your LV? I just purchased the black PM OnTheGo and wish it had feet. It’s stunning but I’m nervous about corner wear, etc. Thank you!
that beg is beautiful. i noticed fabric bags are trending. you can pick up a fabric bag anywhere with the same craftsmanship for much less. it doesn't have to be dior to be useful and splashy.
Hi Steph! Thank you for all your helpful insights in your videos. This is my first comment and I’m sorry that it’s with a challenging tone. Well, as a bag lover I think Dior Book Tote embroidered in Jardin d’Hiver print is not a bag to fill with stuff and take outside. It’s even worse l to imagine it cross bodied. I’m trying to find this bag in brand new condition to keep it as an art piece. I’d never use it as a tote, lol. There are other embroiled prints from the fashion house that I’d totally use it with my daily life. Not just this one. Cheers.
Thank you for the wonderful review! I was wondering if a 13 inch MacBook air might be able to fit into this bag if I really push the sides out? Unfortunately the medium size is too big for me, and I've heard that I might be able to stretch the capacity of this one. Thanks so much! 💗
I have one in my collection and 2 things i do for this bag are spraying nano water resistant and putting the handles with twilly. Yeahhh..i dont think it’s worth of money coz after you decide to buy it, you have to buy something else to maintain your bag. By the way, i like the way it looks without strap.
It’s absolutely beautiful and I’d love to have one but I’m too worried about keeping it clean. However, if I had the money I’d buy it in a heartbeat, so am super pleased for you xx💗
I would love if Dior made a version of this bag that's in line with the style of LV's On The Go (ie. short top handles AND shoulder straps). That would be a game changer and would make the bag a no-brainer to buy.
Congrats! What a work of art! The small size is similar to the Lady Dior medium size which comes with a strap so I think, in my opinion, they won't add a strap as it will be too similar to the Lady Dior or D-lite which usually come in the same print and both cost considerably more making it a cheaper version of the Lady Dior or D-Lite. The D-lite in this print is about $2000 Canadian but you get a strap and a closure and the leather version is a bit more but very limited I understand. But, I completely agree that if they added even double shoulder straps making it similar to the Onthego or Deauville it would definitely make it more versatile. Thanks for sharing Xx.
Steph- 1. You can use apple guard spray to treat the tote and save it from stains. 2. If you want a crossbody, a good handbag restoration shop can add D rings, then you can add a strap. Just an idea. Gorgeous print!!
I think hand embroidery is inpossible in terms of costs and consistency. I bought my D-Constellation book tote last summer and althougt I still believe the price is crazy, i am very happy with it as it just beautiful to look at.
