Why Is The Christian Dior Tote Bag So Popular?
You know the drill; here at Bagover.com, we like to talk about the luxury side of handbags, and tote bags are no different. Sure, can any other no-name brand do the same job, if not better than the designers we talk about? Absolutely! Do we care? No chance! We love luxury handbags; not everyone understands it, but we do.
Let’s chat about a Christian Dior tote bag. The Dior book tote nearly BROKE the internet at its launch time and might have single-handedly instigated the big bag trend. While there are many features of the large handbag that might not make sense, i.e. no zipper, no magnetic closure, no pockets, too structured, etc. But let’s be real, she is STUNNING.
Christian Dior Tote Bag History
First introduced by current Christian Dior creative director Maria Grazia Chiuri, the book tote has remained white hot since it was launched. It is now available in many variations, which include both embroidered and embellished, as well as full leather! It’s a beautiful marriage between casual and luxe and can be styled up or down.
How much is Christian Dior Tote Bag?
The styles mentioned above can range in price. The Dior Book Tote at this moment can range for the following pricing:
Dior Book Tote Pricing
- Small: $3,150.00
- Medium: $3,300.00
- Large: $3,500.00
As you can see, the pricing differences among the sizes are not large. It really boils down to what size is going to work best for your lifestyle and body frame. As someone who is 5’1”, I might not opt for one of the larger totes but instead shop for the medium or even small. I love canvas or even velvet materials; frankly, anything by this fashion house I am inspired by.
Carrie Bradshaw carried the famous Christian Dior tote bag that folds. We would wear this today TBH.
