I like the fact that you are not afraid to go against what everyone else is doing. I agree with you, people should wear bags because they love them not because they are trendy. Who cares if a bag is not trendy? The reason you bought the bag is because you loved it in the first place.
Preach!! If you love something, you shouldn't care if it's trendy at all. This is one of my dream bags but in the small size. I really love the navy color-way but def go with the color that fits your wardrobe best!
I think the book tote will be back in trend once it is normal to travel again. I still want this bag so bad, but keep holding myself to buy it because i don’t know where to wear it except traveling.
hmm i dont think its a good travel bag. Weekend bag, yes, travel.. no.. It doesnt close, its so big, it needs to be squished in the overhead. just not good
I love the Dior Book Tote. I never use big bags and honestly don’t love totes; however, I think this bag is like a work of art. It’s just gorgeous. It’s also refreshing to hear an influencer actually call out other influencers for being ridiculous. Most people don’t have the means to continuously buy new trending bags or the following to sell bags just because they think it’s “off tend”
It’s a great bag if the buyer has use for it. It doesn’t have a zipper and the handles are pretty short, and it’s a pretty stiff bag and handle. Overall functionality pretty limited. Looks super nice on pictures if you just fill it with flowers lol, great influencer bag 🌸
Great valid points! I love how aware and conscious you are about the role of influencers and thinking twice before they knock a bag down after praising it.
Apart from that I totally get your struggle because the exact three versions you showed are the ones I would choose in between 😅 but I love that you keep in mind that there is a difference in „handling“ new bags or reselling bags for Influencers and their followers! I so respect that you stand for your opinion and what you say and I think that’s why many people love you and your account 💕 I truly appreciate it 💐
Soooooo true..love your opinion.. some of the influencers they kind of irresponsible on what they have shown and commented in their video on how nice and their highly recommendation to get the bag then shortly they posted on their IG selling the so call nice and highly recommended bags...
I appreciate this honest review while you still own the bag. I often seeing glowing reviews while the bag is still owned and then only hear about all the faults in a "bags I sold and why video." This is a beautiful bag but in this size doesn't seem like the most user-friendly daily tote and only practical for travel for road trips or flying private.
I would go for the navy toile de jouy since it’s more reminiscent of the original oblique book tote. I have the small book tote in the Rosa mutabilis print which I adore so much!!
SO WELL SAID about influencers, trend, and luxury bags!! I still love the book tote looks just not fit my lifestyle so I never bought it. I also vote for selling the big one and getting a small size! You would be able to use it a lot more frequently I think!
It's beautiful, but it IS huge. I'd have gone for the smaller one too. 💙 I LOVE my Longchamp Le Pliage extendable tote, that thing is amazing! 🤩 Totally agree with you about influencers recommending a bag and then saying it's over get rid of it. 👏🏼 I've stopped following a couple of big influencers because they did that a LOT. 💕
I think you make a huge point. Many influencers that can afford it bought it because it looks "instagramable", whereas other people like you bough it because they find a use to it. I personally love it and I know I carry a lot normally so probably I would use it a lot too. But with the pandemic and not being able to find a use to it they are like "naaaaah, better sell it, and btw you should too" and afterwards they can buy another trendy bag (like the LV coussin). I'm about your height so I would go for the small book tote too, I think objectively speaking they both can carry the same amount of stuff for someone of our size xD there is no way you fill the big one top to bottom and still are able to carry it around.
Thank you for sharing ❤️I feel like I was late to the party in buying this tote, but I genuinely love it and do consider it to be a classic. But alas, if it turns out to be a trend who cares if you love it. Personally, this will remain in my collection as go-to travel tote. Appreciate your always giving your utmost honest opinion.
I like the large size actually but I would choose another print. I love the lights print from the cruise collection last year and some of the Aztec ones they do. I would need an organizer though if I use it outside of travel.
I never get rid of my bags but I don’t pay that much for my bags either. I keep them all😂😂😂 I wear them all too!!! Great video Lou!!!❤️❤️❤️ I love your collection.
If I love it, who cares if ppl say it is trendy! Same Lou, I feel like the saddle is so classic! I love the book tote in large, but I really love the small too. I say get it in the small and sell this size. I love my grey small- go for grey, something different from the go-to navy!
I have the lady d lite with pattern and would love some advice on how I would go about selling it brand new, never worn, because I am madly in love with the newest book tote released. Thank you for any help on this 😍
Hey Lou I have the grey in the large size it is SUCH a look. First of all it’s just practical thing in my life. I’m 5’9 so the big one actually looks really great. I don’t mind that it’s heavy because it fits so much of my stuff I can put my laptop and stuff in it and I can travel with it. But the gray I feel goes with literally everything it doesn’t matter what I’m wearing or where I’m going it’s always looks great and it’s just it’s still eye-catching, which is surprising because it’s so muted.
Lou your reccomendations and opinions are so truly honest - you seriously are the most HONEST and authentic person on this platform!!! Lots lots of love from germany & please never loose this awesome personality 😍💫 and i‘d definetly exchange it for a small book tote!
I have just bought the Butterfly print medium tote from the pre sale market. Luckily I bought it for a lot less than the new price. I will wear it and enjoy it as it’s such a beautiful design. Perhaps my next bag will be the large tote. But I feel that the large would be too big for everyday use. More for travelling. But it is a tough decision to decide.
This bag is too iconic! I got it and honestly very useful practical but i agree with you ..price..increasing for this book tote Dior kills us with their prices ! Apart from that this tote is stunning ! This one! Cos there are so many prints ! whatever!keep it You got my advice You are so young and so passionate Keep going Lou! You are really amazing Take care 😘
I love the one in the grey out of the two colors. I love the bag but I don’t think it will work for me but I love it on others and can appreciate it from afar 🤎
I still love the Dior Book Tote and I would wear it despite any trend. 😍 If you are serious about buying the book tote again, but in the small size; I think you should buy it in the blue Toile de Jouy; the embroidery stands out far more in the blue, verses the gray 😍❤️
I just bought the brand new toile de jouy reverse embroidery two days ago!! it’s in the large size and i haven’t used it yet because i’m waiting for my samorga organizer so i don’t mess up the shape lol I’m 5’4 and quite small so it’s definitely big for me but i liked how it felt better than the small for some reason☺️ Love your videos so so much you’ve inspired me to start my own bag collection🥰 My next purchase is DEF a Chanel classic flap for sure:))) ❤️
I just bought the large Dior oblique book tote... the only problem I have is, some small loose threads on the letters... but I looked at 5 different totes and they all had loose threads on different areas on the bag, mostly on the letters... my SA said it is normal and to leave it alone... he also said that if the thread should loosen up more that I have a warranty on the bag and they would send it to Paris to get it repaired... so 🤔
I’ve been really wanting to buy this bag for along time now, I currently have the original men’s oblique saddle bag and love it. Though something about this tote bag I just can’t get over. I wish it didn’t go up so much in price, I feel like the 2k range wouldn’t have been as crazy as compared to the current 3.1k price. Hopefully I’ll get once soon enough, definitely enjoyed the video and info about the straps being short.
Its looks nice but I never bought it because i would hardly use it. I bought however this years dior astrology blanket and i use it almost everyday on the couch🙂
I never got on board with this bag. I have 2 reasons: it’s fabric and for the size I have to have shoulder straps. I can’t hold it all day in my hand or crook of arm. I got the LV onthego GM and very happy since it has the long shoulder straps and it’s durable canvas.
Yo estuve en shock cuando vendiste la RIVE GAUCHE de ysl ya que a mi me encanta! Siento que es too much el pattern, pero me pasa igual con LV no me gusta monogram.
I was thinking about this bag! But i dont know because indont want to buy a trend bag only like classics so i doubt it know! I also have the mini saddle bag but i regret i bought it
Hello Lou! I hot my dreamed book tote from Dior… And I wanted to ask. how do u protect it? do u use scotchgard? for me that bag is a big deal, i wanna keep it nice forever:) and i am scared i will damage it somehow…
This is one bag I've never understood and will never understand. She's nice enough, even a classic, but it looks heavy, it's open (what a nightmare), you can't carry it on your shoulder... just no for me because I dislike carrying heavy bags (and the bigger the bag, the more tempted we're to stuff it) so that influences my opinion on totes in general. Side note: is the camel Chanel behind you crooked? I hope not! :(
Dior is cool but just too expensive right now., I'm trying to save for a home in 6 months. I like it but the dior tote is outside of my budget for a cloth logo tote, with no zipper, no feet, no strap no nothing 😆
So a cloth bag in an airplane and on a conveyor belt .... does not make sense to me that this is supposed to be a travel bag. But I don’t like Dior. Anyways, for travelling, Longchamp makes more sense to me. I would let this go, personally.
Hi dear 💗 I am a Flight Attendant, and yes, not having any item “next to your legs” can really save your life, and the life of who is sitting close to you. The reason is basically that in case of an emergency, you have to run out of the aircraft so fast that any item on the ground or even on your lap, can be an obstacle and cause your and other’s death. I feel you when you say that you don’t enjoy having the bag up on the overhead compartment, that’s the reason why when I travel I never bring with me an expensive bag in the cabin. I usually pack all my nice items in the luggage that will go into the hold ☺️
I stopped buying Chanel. Their quality just has been so disappointing and when you send it out for a repair, it takes months to get it back. Was planning to buy the book tote but the price for a canvas bag with a big hole, I passed and visited Hermes for the quality and value.
I like the fact that you are not afraid to go against what everyone else is doing. I agree with you, people should wear bags because they love them not because they are trendy. Who cares if a bag is not trendy? The reason you bought the bag is because you loved it in the first place.

hmm i dont think its a good travel bag. Weekend bag, yes, travel.. no.. It doesnt close, its so big, it needs to be squished in the overhead. just not good
Absolutely agree with you! I’ll buy one once life goes back to normal!
Traveling and when everyone need to go back to the office and not work from home anymore.
I love the Dior Book Tote. I never use big bags and honestly don’t love totes; however, I think this bag is like a work of art. It’s just gorgeous. It’s also refreshing to hear an influencer actually call out other influencers for being ridiculous. Most people don’t have the means to continuously buy new trending bags or the following to sell bags just because they think it’s “off tend”
Yeah for Longchamps that’s why I have three in my collection. Thx for mentioning Longchamp.
Great honest video. Influencers encourage people to always buy then months later say it’s outdated. That’s why I buy what I like; and follow my heart
I love that you mentioned that influencers have an easier time selling. Thank you!!
It’s a great bag if the buyer has use for it. It doesn’t have a zipper and the handles are pretty short, and it’s a pretty stiff bag and handle. Overall functionality pretty limited. Looks super nice on pictures if you just fill it with flowers lol, great influencer bag 🌸

Soooooo true..love your opinion.. some of the influencers they kind of irresponsible on what they have shown and commented in their video on how nice and their highly recommendation to get the bag then shortly they posted on their IG selling the so call nice and highly recommended bags...
I vote sell or trade the large for the smaller size, you will use it way more!😊❤️
I appreciate this honest review while you still own the bag. I often seeing glowing reviews while the bag is still owned and then only hear about all the faults in a "bags I sold and why video." This is a beautiful bag but in this size doesn't seem like the most user-friendly daily tote and only practical for travel for road trips or flying private.
So true. I like that tote. Still thinking getting it in small.
I just can't take my eyes off your Chanel Caramel flap bag. It's so classy and beautiful. I've fallen in love! xoxo
I would go for the navy toile de jouy since it’s more reminiscent of the original oblique book tote. I have the small book tote in the Rosa mutabilis print which I adore so much!!
SO WELL SAID about influencers, trend, and luxury bags!! I still love the book tote looks just not fit my lifestyle so I never bought it. I also vote for selling the big one and getting a small size! You would be able to use it a lot more frequently I think!
Bought it in medium size recently and I love it! It is quite practical for me.
It's beautiful, but it IS huge. I'd have gone for the smaller one too. 💙 I LOVE my Longchamp Le Pliage extendable tote, that thing is amazing! 🤩 Totally agree with you about influencers recommending a bag and then saying it's over get rid of it. 👏🏼 I've stopped following a couple of big influencers because they did that a LOT. 💕

Lou! I think Navy Toile de Jouy! The print is visible & beautiful! Awesome video Lou!!!
The book tote is worth it im getting one soon and im getting the grey version.
Keep it you will use it love u Louuu💕
I'm getting this in the small size
Thank you for sharing ❤️I feel like I was late to the party in buying this tote, but I genuinely love it and do consider it to be a classic.

I love everything you’ve said!!!! You’re 💯 real 🥰 authentic and honest ❤️ thank you
I like the large size actually but I would choose another print. I love the lights print from the cruise collection last year and some of the Aztec ones they do.
I would need an organizer though if I use it outside of travel.
So true!!!! Thank you for sharing your experience
Thank you for watching 🥰🥰🥰
I have my tote since 2018 and I will never ever stop loving it.
It looks super instagramable 🥺but I think that’s just about it 🤍🤍maybe great as a travel bag? Great video as always lou! 🤍🤍
I'm still loving my Dior book tote in small! ❤️
I never get rid of my bags but I don’t pay that much for my bags either. I keep them all😂😂😂 I wear them all too!!! Great video Lou!!!❤️❤️❤️ I love your collection.
If I love it, who cares if ppl say it is trendy! Same Lou, I feel like the saddle is so classic! I love the book tote in large, but I really love the small too. I say get it in the small and sell this size. I love my grey small- go for grey, something different from the go-to navy!

J’adore the book tote especially in the large size ! I think the proportions are good! My preference go to the toile the jouy in blue ! So stunning 😍
The Book Tote in Toile de Jouy now comes in a reverse color way!
Love this video! I was torn if I should get it but this video just confirmed it’s ok to get it if I simply just love it.
I have just bought the Butterfly print medium tote from the pre sale market.
Luckily I bought it for a lot less than the new price. I will wear it and enjoy it as it’s such a beautiful design.
Perhaps my next bag will be the large tote. But I feel that the large would be too big for everyday use. More for travelling. But it is a tough decision to decide.
Yr sweet. Thank you for being genuine and honest. I like your way of thinking on such topics. Subscribed.
I got the regular (large) one today and I love it. The small looked too small even though I am small. I'm going to use it for my grocery shopping.
Loved the video Lou! Amazing bag! You will love the small! ✨✨✨✨✨✨
This bag is too iconic! I got it and honestly very useful practical but i agree with you ..price..increasing for this book tote Dior kills us with their prices ! Apart from that this tote is stunning ! This one! Cos there are so many prints ! whatever!keep it
You got my advice
You are so young and so passionate
Keep going Lou! You are really amazing
Take care 😘

I am definitely going to get the gray for my birthday!
Where’s your lock necklace from?😊
I saw one time you wrapped your book tote for travel! Can you demonstrate how you wrap your bags to protect them in a video sometime!
I love totes. One day I’ll get the one I’ve been hunting for. In the mean time I got the LV on the go gm empreinte black leather
I just bought the brand new toile de jouy reverse embroidery two days ago!! it’s in the large size and i haven’t used it yet because i’m waiting for my samorga organizer so i don’t mess up the shape lol I’m 5’4 and quite small so it’s definitely big for me but i liked how it felt better than the small for some reason☺️ Love your videos so so much you’ve inspired me to start my own bag collection🥰 My next purchase is DEF a Chanel classic flap for sure:))) ❤️

Love the Book Tote! It’s on my wish list in the small size in the Toile de jouy in the Nude!
Oh Lou I chuckle each time you intro that you’re 24... just so we don’t ask you if you’re a luxury loving 16 year old! Love your videos
I would buy the gray in the toile.
Its looks nice but I never bought it because i would hardly use it. I bought however this years dior astrology blanket and i use it almost everyday on the couch🙂
I love the book tote!!! 😍
Me tooo🥰

I love the look but I need a top zip and longer handles.
I love your channel. I believe you should sell the big one, and get the small one in grey.
Spittin truth, Lou!!
I personally don’t like big bags like this Totes to be exact. But I enjoyed the video 🤍
I would go for the blue over the grey toile de jouy
You are wise beyond your years. ❤️ Tnank you!
I think with the price increase you’ll get a pretty good amount of money if you sell it; btw the Chanel 19 looks amazing in the background 🤩
I was thinking about this bag! But i dont know because indont want to buy a trend bag only like classics so i doubt it know! I also have the mini saddle bag but i regret i bought it
I love them so much, i have several!
Yesss gurl need your tips on this one! Been contemplating whether to get it. But soo glad I didn’t at the moment cus I will have no use of totes 💕😍
I hope you like the video!! Love you Serra ♥️
The navy one! The gray one is a bit too muted.
Yes first, love you videos 🤩❤️
Love you Cecilie 🥰
Hi Lou !!! How is the fitting of the Cartier Love bracelet?? I m dying yo get it but I’m not sure if I cam wear all the time
Hello Lou! I hot my dreamed book tote from Dior… And I wanted to ask. how do u protect it? do u use scotchgard? for me that bag is a big deal, i wanna keep it nice forever:) and i am scared i will damage it somehow…
What do you think of the jaquemus bags? Do u think it’s trendy or something that will last the test of time?
I can't to treat myself to some beautiful items I have wanted for ages.I'm not into the trends simply because they have a a expiry date.
I have the medium and want it sale it for $2700 bc I don’t carry it at all😩 Perfect condition🖤
Also if you spill stuff all the time is the book tote easy to clean? Thanks Lou!
Very helpful!
Yeah I want the Dior book tote but the small size and I want my name engraved on it…I want a bag that fits my phone, keys, and cards
I wish I could like this video more than once!
I like to use mine to stay one night at my bf or going to the library. It’s definitely not for heavy or frequent use IMO.
LOVE YOUR COLLECTION!
Dream bag ❤️
If you like a bag go for it, buy what you like not what’s trending.
if you decided to sale it i will buy it :)
I love it I think it’s beautiful but definitely downsize so u can use it more
This is one bag I've never understood and will never understand. She's nice enough, even a classic, but it looks heavy, it's open (what a nightmare), you can't carry it on your shoulder... just no for me because I dislike carrying heavy bags (and the bigger the bag, the more tempted we're to stuff it) so that influences my opinion on totes in general.
Side note: is the camel Chanel behind you crooked? I hope not! :(
Go with navy, the grey looks to washed out.
Not worth the money for a canvas or non- leather bag. Not into mini bags , I need a bag to fit my essentials.
Have a great day sweetie
Dior is cool but just too expensive right now., I'm trying to save for a home in 6 months.
I like it but the dior tote is outside of my budget for a cloth logo tote, with no zipper, no feet, no strap no nothing 😆
I would buy this bag from you

Firstttttt♥️
Keep. The price is increasing.
