At a time when fashion keeps borrowing from culture, Dior takes a more literal approach. The new Book Covers edition of the Dior Book Tote introduces a series of designs built around classic literature, turning the surface of the bag into a readable object.
The idea is straightforward. Instead of decorative references, the tote carries embroidered reproductions of well-known book covers. One version features Dracula by Bram Stoker in a saturated yellow. Others reference Ulysses by James Joyce, In Cold Blood by Truman Capote, and Les Fleurs du Mal by Charles Baudelaire. The selection moves between Ireland, France, and the United States, mapping out a concise literary landscape that aligns with the House’s long-standing cultural references and the creative direction of Jonathan Anderson.
The Book Tote itself remains familiar, adapting easily to everyday use. It is offered in large, medium, and mini formats, with subtle functional differences across sizes, and finished with an embroidered Dior logo on the front. The focus stays on the surface, where literature becomes the defining element.
The Dior Book Tote Book Covers collection is now available in boutiques.
