This Christian Dior Medium Oblique Book Tote in blue Oblique canvas is in good condition, with visible wear on the corners and light traces of use to the interior.

Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.
Q: What size is this Christian Dior Book Tote? A: The exact measurements of this item are approximately 42 x 35 x 18 cm, with a handle drop of around 7 cm. Dior Book Tote naming can vary across seasons and resale listings, so the best way to judge size and capacity is by the measurements on this page.
Q: What typically fits inside this bag? A: Its structured tote shape is roomy enough for daily or work essentials such as a wallet, phone, pouch, water bottle, notebook and often a tablet or laptop. As always, we recommend comparing your own items to the measurements provided, especially if you plan to carry tech or larger folders.
Q: Can this bag be worn on the shoulder? A: This style has dual rolled top handles and an open-top tote construction. With a handle drop of approximately 7 cm, it is best suited to hand or arm carry, and shoulder carry may feel quite snug depending on your frame and clothing.
Q: Does this bag have a zip closure or interior pockets? A: This item is listed with an open top and a tonal canvas interior. No interior zip pocket, organiser or detachable strap is noted in the product information, so it is best treated as a simple open tote.
Q: Is this a good bag for work or travel? A: Yes, the Book Tote is popular because it is spacious, structured and easy to load with everyday essentials. It works especially well for shopping, commuting and travel days, but do keep in mind that the open top offers less security than a zipped bag.
Q: Is this bag suitable for carrying a laptop? A: It may be, depending on your device size and sleeve. Because this item measures approximately 42 cm across, many tablets and laptops can fit, but there is no padded laptop compartment, so we suggest checking your device measurements carefully before purchasing.
Q: How should I care for the Oblique canvas? A: To keep it looking its best, avoid overfilling, rough surfaces, heavy rain and prolonged contact with dark or abrasive fabrics. For regular care, gently remove dust with a soft dry cloth and store the bag upright, lightly stuffed, in a breathable dust bag away from direct sunlight. For marks or deeper cleaning, a specialist handbag cleaner is the safest option.
Q: Is corner wear common on Dior Book Tote bags? A: Yes, light rubbing at the base corners and edges is one of the more common signs of wear on structured fabric totes like this. On this particular piece, visible wear on the corners is already noted in the condition description.
Q: What condition is this bag in? A: It is listed in good condition overall. The exterior shows visible wear on the corners, while the interior has light traces of use. We recommend reviewing all photos carefully for the clearest view of its current condition.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This bag is listed with no accompanying items. If something is not mentioned in the product information, it should be assumed not to be included.
