Dior · Tier 2
Book Tote
By Arielle · Catalogued July 2026
The Dior Book Tote is a large, flat, open-top tote introduced by Maria Grazia Chiuri in 2018 as a runway accessory that became a permanent bestseller. It has an unlined single-compartment body and two flat top handles, built to carry like an oversized book bag. Its signature is the allover embroidery, from the house's Oblique monogram and Toile de Jouy to floral and destination motifs, with the Christian Dior name worked into the design. It is defined more by its embroidered canvas surface than by any hardware or closure.
