Booked and Busy: Dior Turns the Book Tote into Your Next Reading List
A bag, like a book, is never one thing. It is carried, but it also carries—the evidence of a life in motion. The Dior Book Tote has always showcased ambition, specifically, the kind that fits between hardcovers. Now, the carryall finally admits what it’s been hinting at all along: it wants to be a library.

This season, Dior releases its Book Covers series, a lineup of Book Totes embroidered with the jackets of literary classics.
Bram Stoker’s Dracula
Gothic fiction in full daylight. The Dracula Book Tote arrives in a shock of bright yellow. It takes 19th-century melodrama and gives it modern nerve. Picture capes, fangs, and scandal—then imagine all of that catching the sun on your arm.
.This is the bag for those who like their romance tragic, their horror sexy, and their accessories styled boldly.
James Joyce’s Ulysses
This one carries intellectual tension. Ulysses is the novel people swear they love and fear. This one reads like a wink to the well-read and the well-intending. Carry it, and suddenly everyone assumes you’ve finished it, or at least tried.
It’s the tote for wandering minds, long walks, and thoughts that take scenic routes.
Truman Capote’s In Cold Blood
Cool, sharp, and eerily composed. This Book Tote channels the calm menace of Capote’s true-crime classic. It feels intense, like someone who watches the room before entering it.
It could feel intimidating, but the bag holds with a steady gaze and a perfectly timed pause.
Charles Baudelaire’s Les Fleurs du Mal
Baudelaire’s Les Fleurs du Mal arrives in a pure decadent mood. It carries the perfume of melancholy and the thrill of rebellion, stitched into a bag that knows how to converse with darkness and beauty at once.
This is for the romantics who prefer their roses with thorns. For anyone who treats sadness like an accessory and poetry like a second language.
The choices sketch a triangle of taste—Ireland, France, the United States—places where language learned how to misbehave beautifully. It’s a love letter to literature, but also to the idea that fashion reads widely.
Available in large, medium, and mini, each Book Tote has its own reading posture. The large closes with a magnetic snap, like bookmarking your day. The medium and mini come with adjustable straps, letting you carry culture crossbody, hands-free, and confidently curious.
Dior’s Book Covers suggest that style, like literature, works best when it dares to be specific, when it chooses its references wisely. Somewhere between page and pavement, between sentence and strap, a book tote is encouraging someone to read.
The Dior Book Tote is available now in Dior Greenbelt 3
