Within our collection of archival vintage dating back decades, we occasionally seek out current pieces to include in our product assortment—like the beloved Dior Book Tote. Introduced in the brand's S/S 2018 Collection, Maria Grazia Chiuri immersed herself in Dior House archives to find inspiration from a drawing produced by Marc Bohan in 1967 to create this coveted bag. Though it may appear simple, it is anything but.

The embroidered Dior Book Tote requires more than thirty-seven hours of work and 1,500,000 stitches to be completed in a family-run atelier in Italy. After this lengthy process, the Book Tote is taken to the House’s leather-making atelier in Florence to be completed.

The Dior Book Tote captures the essence of understated elegance; it is notoriously chic, incredibly versatile, and already a classic Dior style. Shop it below:
