Q: What size is this Christian Dior Large Oblique Book Tote?
A: This bag measures approximately 42 cm wide × 35 cm high × 18 cm deep, with a handle measurement of 18 cm. These are the measurements recorded for this specific pre-owned item.

Q: What can fit inside the Large Book Tote?
A: The generous size offers room for everyday essentials such as a wallet, phone, sunglasses, notebook and a pouch. Dior describes the Large Book Tote as accommodating a 15-inch laptop, but please compare your device and its protective sleeve with this item’s measurements before purchasing, as fit depends on their dimensions.

Q: Can the bag be worn over the shoulder?
A: The Large Book Tote can be carried by hand or over the shoulder using its top handles. Shoulder comfort and clearance depend on your build and clothing, particularly when wearing a thicker coat. No separate shoulder strap is listed for this item.

Q: What condition is this bag in?
A: This pre-owned bag is graded Very Good Condition. The exterior has wear and rubbing on the corners, edges and handles, while the interior shows light traces of use. The hardware is described as shiny with light scratches. Please review the product photographs alongside these condition notes.

Q: Does this bag come with a dust bag, box or authenticity card?
A: No accessories are included with this item. Please refer to the product information for confirmation of what accompanies this specific bag rather than assuming it includes the packaging supplied with a new Dior purchase.

Q: What is the Dior Oblique design?
A: Dior Oblique is the repeating Dior motif featured on this Book Tote. The classic Oblique Book Tote uses embroidery rather than a simple printed pattern, giving the design a textured appearance. This item’s recorded colour is blue.

Q: Does the Book Tote need an organiser?
A: An organiser is optional, but it can help separate smaller belongings within the classic Book Tote’s spacious main compartment. If purchasing one separately, compare its dimensions with the bag’s usable interior and choose a fit that does not stretch or distort the sides. No organiser is included with this item.

Q: How should I clean and store this Book Tote?
A: Handle the embroidered surface gently and avoid vigorous rubbing or applying cleaning products without specialist advice. For stains or a deeper clean, consult Dior or a specialist experienced in embroidered luxury bags. Store the bag dry, away from direct sunlight and heavy pressure, with gentle interior support to help preserve its shape.

Q: Where was this bag made?
A: The country of origin recorded for this specific Christian Dior Book Tote is Italy.
