I always felt like this bag looked like a very bougie beach bag. I can definitely see myself putting my towel and sunscreen in and carrying it to the beach should I ever get invited to a beach day with the Queen.
Haha so true - it’s a FABULOUS beach bag 🤩
Beach day with the queen🤣🤣🤣🤣
I thought it was a beach bag 🥴😂🙈
Omg yes! Beach bag 110% 🤣🤣🤣
But its design is so beautiful.
Living in a city center, a zip is a must have on my bags. In Ye Old Pre-Plague Times, with a crowd of people on the street, there's no way I'd go out with an open top bag.
🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Pre plague time . Deceased 🤣😂
I own the LV On The Go Tote in Reverse monogram and absolutely LOVE IT!!!! Loving your new CHANEL chain necklace. Gorgeous!!!
Yes! Such a fabulous bag 🤩 thanks so much 🙌🏽💖
You make amazing points! Something I have struggled with (primarily with the blue oblique print like that one) is that it gets easily dirty/over time begins to turn into a darker color from dirt and time :/ it’s what made me stop going for the classic oblique unless it was all black
I would totally use it as an overnight bag, it’s beautiful. I saw the video on how it’s made.
I love it, as it’s the best one for a small road trip. Or travel. Not a day to day bag! You are absolutely right!
Yay! Glad you agree 🙌🏽💖
I absolutely love this video! I love that you also gave alternatives! Thank you Cassie!
Yay I’m so happy it was helpful 🙌🏽💖
Really appreciated this video! I've always wanted one - i love the limited edition prints, but I know it's hella impractical. Thanks for confirming! x
So happy it was helpful! They’re so pretty but damn it, the downsides 😫
The necklace looks gorgeous! So glad you made this video... I was tempted to buy that bag lol will definitely look at other options x
🙌🏽💖💖
Definitely knew this style of bag would be way too impractical for me. So large and no zip or strap is a no go
💖💖
Super helpful video Cassie. Thank you for doing the comparison to other bags. Keep these videos coming ! 🥰🙏🏻
Yay I’m glad it was helpful!
That f#%king necklace though. I can see you still rocking that in 10 years. It's made for you.
Aahh thank you so much! I love it 🤩🤩
Oh we KNEW sis was going to serve us the turtleneck/new Chanel piece look she talked about very soon and I personally was awaiting the day💅🏾😩❤️
It’s the PERFECT COMBO 😍
That bag is massive, great insight!
I just had my Gucci SA order in the Medium Ophidia tote bag with the leather trim, and I cannot wait!.. I am obsessed already! 🥰
Yes! That tote is so great and so underrated! 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Thanks for this info, I definitely have some things to consider before making this purchase
Happy new year! Great video! I love the YSL bag you showed us:) thx for being you 😘
Happy New Year to you 🥳💖💖
I got the samorga organizer with compartments and a zip, and i love it! I take this on planes as it fits underneath the seat in front of me, and i dont have to carry the weight of it as it sits on my carry on throughout the airport. i also use this for long car trips/weekend trips, as i keep it on my passenger seat so i know i have all my important things (laptop, water, wallet, important docs, meds, etc) with me and dont have to get out of my car to go digging round the back seats/trunk to get stuff!
🙌🏽💖💖
Beginning 2021 looking like a snack 😍 love the necklace.
Aahh thank you queen 🙈💖💖
No she’s looking like the entire meal with all this chic she has going on! 🙌🏾😍
@@king_threadz1874 You are correct. I stand corrected lol
@@CassieThorpe You're welcome!
That Dior is simply gorgeous. Stunning. I have the ONTHEGO and Rive Gauche. Both are great, but that Dior is gorge!
there is another down to this tote: it is so so pretty that I makes your heart skip a beat ;) I dont have one because Its very expensive and I dont need a tote. but I get tempted EVERY single time I see it
Oh yes it’s so pretty and some of the designs are 😍😍😍
I know it's such a dream! I want something in the oblique i love it so much!!
I have been wanting this bag for over a year! But can’t seem to pull the trigger! 🙈..Your video made so much sense! Thank you..it was just what I needed to see! ❤️❤️❤️
I’m glad it was helpful! 🙌🏽💖
Not sure how you could talk me out of a bag that I didn’t want to begin with, but you did it 😂 never touching the bigger size ! Loved your recommendations for alternatives though. Beautiful video as always !
Hahaha 🙈😂 so glad you enjoyed it!
Hi Cassie. I am LOVING the statement necklace with the black turtleneck! Always a stylish winner! Very informative video. 😊
It’s arguably my favourite combo! 🙈💖💖🙌🏽
Totally agree with all your points! I have the LV OTG in the MM size and I adore it!!! I had the GM version but It felt EXTREMELY bulky. Hopefully Dior will make changes to the book tote!! ❤️❤️
Yes! What a fabulous bag! 🤩💖💖
Thanks for honest review. It’s hard for people to post actual honest reviews. You just hear great things about bags and I know there are some bags that aren’t worth it but hardly anyone talks about it
I’m so glad you appreciate it! 🙌🏽💖
That necklace tho! 🔥 I agree with everyone else - you’re GLOWING! 😎
Aahhh you’re too kind 🙈💖
My heart skipped a beat when I saw the title of this video! I just repurchased the Dior book tote ... but in the small size .. lol .. I bought mine brand new exactly a year ago, but sold her a few months down the road (felt she wasn’t for me) but have been seriously eyeing her again since august .. so I went ahead and got myself another one but preloved today .. lol was filled with sellers regret! And OMG, that new Chanel necklace looks so amazing on you!! So perfect and statement like your Versace one!! 🤩
The smaller size is totally the way to go! And so glad you like the necklace - I love it 🤩🤩
Love that necklace! 😍 Happy New Year! Love your content...keep up the great work!
Happy New Year to you 🥳💖
I have the already have the Dior book tote in the blue toile de jouy in a small and My boyfriend gifted my the mini in the blue toile de jouy and I got use the crossbody strap I got for my saddle bag and it works so well with the mini. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thx for the advice 👍🏼👍🏼 Happy New Year
Happy New Year to you 🥳💖
Loved this video thanks for the tips definitely will consider before spending money on this 👍🏼
Yay I’m glad it was helpful! 🙌🏽💖
Thanks for this video. Been thinking if I'd get the book tote or the LV OTG. This was very insightful ❤❤
Glad it helped 💖💖
omg I can't stop looking at your necklace!!! GORGEOUS!! 😍😍😍
Aahh thank you! It’s so pretty 🤩
Thanks for the good points on this bag. I did end up getting the smaller size and I’m very fine with it, but the alternatives are great choices!
Glad you got the one that worked for you! 💖
The Chanel Deauville is also a great alternative to the book tote, it has lots of internal pockets and longer straps for over the shoulder! They've also added leather to the shoulder straps now so the chain doesn't dig in!
Love your videos 😍😍
ah perfect alternative! Thanks for sharing! 💖
Great video Cassie!! And love that necklace 😍
Thanks so much 🙈💖💖
I’m just enjoying Cassie’s use of the word accoutrements. Definitely a vocabulary flex moment👏
I use it anytime I can 😂
I recently bought the Fendi Sunshine Medium shopper tote. It’s a similar size to the smaller Dior book tote and similar price but all leather and comes with a shoulder strap as well. Loving it
So glad you shared this - another fabulous option and a little more under the radar too 🤩💖
Just got myself LV otg last saturday. It's a great bag! I did end up ordering an insert for that as well just to protect the canvas inside. I love your necklace by the way ❤️
Thanks so much 🙌🏽💖
Is it the new chanel necklace that you got for Christmas ?
Omg i love it
It is! Thank you 🙌🏽💖
Okay...I’m going to need to borrow that Chanel necklace! Love it!🤍🤍 I waited too long and missed out!
I’m obsessed 🤩🤩
You always keep it 💯! Great video as always
Yay so glad you liked it! 🙌🏽💖
I have 2 kiddos and this bag is large enough for all our stuff. My friend from church loved it and brought one that same week. Very spacious and so many compartments.
It doesn’t have any compartments
I have that exact Booktote that your Mumma has and it is absolutely perfect .... for my needs.
However I completely agree with all of your points and therefore it’s something you really need to weigh up if it is going to suit what you want to use it for or if there is a better option 🤷🏼♀️ Mine doesn’t have any wear and tear and still looks brand new because I don’t use it on an “daily basis” it’s there for a “when I need it” type of bag and I love it 💙
🙌🏽💖💖 so glad you shared your experience!
Thank you for the detailed look! I have been waiting for Miss Maria to grace us with a longer strap and a bag closure for the Book Tote for ages now, but no such luck. Until recently, I had planned to buy this in spring (when I can hopefully use it), but now I'm seriously looking at the On the Go instead. If I can find a color combination that I like, I'll most likely order it. I saw an upcoming beige/ purple (?) print a few days ago and it looked beautiful.
Yes I don’t blame you - LV keep silently dropping different colour ways on the website so keep your eyes open 👀💖
Hi Cassie.☺️ Hope your New Year was good! Your Chanel chain is fantastic! And the Chanel pillows are all that! Thank you for the great info on the book bag! I don't think it's for me either!💕🇨🇦😊
I’m obsessed with this necklace so I’m glad you like it! 🤩🙌🏽💖
Great video, thanks for the recommendation! Very helpful one ☝️
Yay I’m glad it was helpful 💖
Cassie!!! so proud of you for becoming a full time youtuber. you’ve been my favorite youtuber since the beginning because of your humor and genuineness and you deserve this opportunity more than anyone else!
This means so much to me! Thank you so much for belong so kind and supportive 🙌🏽💖💖 I think I might do a dedicated Q&A all about it 💕
Not related but would love to know how you feel about senreve bags! Maybe a best work bags video for when we can return to the office 🤔
I couldn’t keep my eyes of your chanel necklace sis my god what an insane piece!!!!!
Aahh thank you! I’m obsessed 🤩🤩
You look amazing! The necklace 😍😍😍😍
Aahhh thank you 🙈💖
Good points. I appreciate it from afar as it looks lovely but rather put my coin towards other bags. If it were gifted, I certainly wouldn’t deny it.
Ooh if it’s gifted I’d happily accept 🙌🏽💖
It’s a beautiful bag but your absolutely right on your advice. Love your necklace ❤️💕
Thank you! 🤗
For the longest time I’ve fought myself not to buy this bag because its just not practical for me. It was realllyyyy hard to ignore instagram feeds at that time. But I’m glad I stay strong. It still looks absolutely amazing on you Cassie.
I don’t blame you for being interested! It’s such a pretty bag 🤩
Thanks for the video and review!! I love the Dior tote and wanting to buy for more than a year but many thoughts. So i buy one of yours suggestions Lv
I’m so glad it was helpful! 🙌🏽💖
I couldn’t concentrate on anything that you said because I couldn’t stop drooling over your stunning necklace I LOVE LOVE LOVE 🥰 it
Ahh thank you!
I really like the bag I'm definitely getting it in the small size
Love your videos Cassie! Even though I can’t afford most of what you showcase still love to watch.
I bought the Coach version of that bag and haven’t used it yet. It is huge, but it has a large clutch and also a thick strap for shoulder or crossbody. Couldn’t carry it handheld.
🙌🏽💖💖
Hey Gurl hey!!!!! From the title, I knew I’d like you video and plus it’s you that brings us back!!! It’s a beautiful bag, but I don’t want ripped arms like that but the handles being ruined would tick me off. Ohhh and there’s no closure to it, so yup it’s not secure. Happy new year 🎊🎆🥰
I’m glad you enjoyed it! Happy New Year 🥳💖💖
Coach does really nice ones are they are so cheap but do not look cheap. In fact Coach is an underrated brand
SSSHHHH! Don't tell anyone about Coach, it's mine, all mine!
I will forever love your sass and energy. Literally love you l
Aahhh love you! 🙌🏽💖
I was never into this bag. Great video, Cass!😍
Glad you liked it! 🙌🏽💖
I totally agree with you. I didn’t get this bag instead I got Onthego go tote. I feel canvas is more durable than fabric. Thank you so much for sharing darling ❤️
Yes! The onthego is fabulous - I totally agree with you 🙌🏽💖
THANK YOU FOR DOING BOTH!!
😉💖
“Maybe you want to get ripped arms, then this bag is perfect for you” 😂 😂
🙈🙈😂
Cassie love all your videos, big fan! I have 3 book totes in my collection and while some of your points are valid, Dior book totes look delicate but are deceptively hard wearing. My reverse toile de jouy tote - I’ve used to buy groceries and even used as a moving bag when we moved apartments - the handle is still clean, intact and the bag is in excellent condition, but I do understand with the original size, it’s not for everyone!
🙌🏽💖💖
i love my dior book tote and i bought a zoomoni organiser with zipper to carry the bag. although it’s fabric but i feel sometimes fabrics are easier than leather because leather can get mould😅easily in humid environments. that’s just my thought😊and the bag is very easy to grab and go and put stuff in.
Definitely one of my favorite youtubers 🥰♥️
Omg! Thank you so much 🙈💖
this was so helpful Thank You because i love dis but I'm not sure about the handles now
I’m so glad it was useful! 💖
Wished you had told me this in May...I used it once and it back in the box collecting dust. You look stunning!!!!!
Oh no 🙈 and thanks so much! 💖
These are my same thoughts on the bag. The chanel neckless you got for X'mas looks stunning on you !
Aahh thank you! 🙌🏽💖
I have the black and beige bayadere in the small size but I haven't worn it due to covid. I've been thinking of letting it go but it is just too gorgeous!!! Loving your necklace, Cassie 😍
I don’t blame you - there’s something about them 🤩 thanks so much! 💕
Thank you. It was in time for guests.
It looks like a cute shopping bag
So glad you did this video!!! Love the look of the tote but not worth the money!!! As always great video 😍👌🏾👏🏾😂
So glad it was helpful! 💖
I totally agree with you! I got the next size down and it is a much better size for everyday.
Yes! Much more manageable!
I was just looking at that bag (that I can't currently afford 😅) so thanks for the critique!
I’m glad it was helpful! 🙌🏽💖
I really enjoy your content!! Could you do a few styling videos? For example!! "First night out once the clubs open again" "Finally meeting my ex-husband's new wife" "Funeral of my last husband who died in mysterious circumstances"......uhm.....and other Cassie-related events one might attend once vaccinated against Covid 19 😂😂😂😂?
FUNERAL FOR MY LAST HUSBAND WHO DIED IN MYSTERIOUS CIRCUMSTANCES 😂😂😂 I LOVE THAT!
Whoa that’s interesting.
I'm loving that necklace sis!😍
Thanks so much 🙈💖
Necklace en pointe😍All excellent reasons as to why I don’t have any “tote” style bags.Some are quite tempting though......😎
Aahh thank you 🙌🏽💖
Hello,I have the tote,only used it twice,I bought it for road trips we have to go on for husbands work.I put it behind his seat,put an organizer in,from Amazon. I just can't bring myself to pay 40-50.00 for one.I pack cold drinks in a insulated lunch tote stays cold enough,insulated cups,medication, fruit,snacks,and some chocolate. I just reach and get it.Have to remember I am almost 5'8" and long arms lol.I'll let you know how it wears,I think it will hold up pretty well,when we get to the hotel I just take everything out pull organizer and leave on vanity.Thank you for this video,I have worried abt same issues, happy new year. 💓
Happy New Year to you 🥳💖
The Versace Gianni Versace Signature Tote are stunning too!
Can’t believe I forgot! Yes that’s a great one too 😍
I’m looking at my book totes with this video playing and I am TRIGGERED 😤😭😂
😂🙌🏽🙌🏽💖
The Chanel Accesoire around your neck looks really really awesome 🤩 flex flex flex girl .... informative video thank you
Ahhh thanks so much! 🙈💖
There are felt inserts with zipped lid that help with retaining shape, protecting against spills and messes and prevents anyone from reaching into the bag for your valuables
So good I had to watch it twice!! I agree the smaller size or I might explore the Dior Mens versions. 🥁🥁🥁. Happy New Year's CT! 👸🎊🎉 🍾🍾🍾
Ah so happy you enjoyed it! Happy New Year to you 🥳💖
Absolutely handy!❤
That necklace is everything!!!!!! I’m sure it would look incredible as a hair jewelry or if long enough a belt or wrap bracelet? Happy new year!!! 🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 as usual love
Sadly not long enough for a belt but I’ll obsessed 😍 happy new year to you 🥳💖
@@CassieThorpe May I please ask one more quick question is it a heavy necklace? I’m truly considering getting one the same or similar but have to be careful only to wear lighter necklaces thank you so much for the answer
Am here for the video but you are glowing 💕💕
Oh stooppp 🙈💖
Love the alternatives provided!
🙌🏽💖💖
I see you rocking your Christmas Chanel necklace! Love it!
All valid reasons for the large Book Tote. I especially don't like they there isn't any closure. Hopefully Dior will make changes.
Anywho, see you Wednesday!!
YASSS I couldn’t help myself 🙈😂💖
I just got this right now. I bought a silk posh looking dustbag with ribbon drawstring so I can put my belongings inside securely cuz yep this thing doesn't have a zipper
Love! Would rather have the saddle for sure.
🙌🏽💖💖
The channel chain with the turtle neck and also the matching earrings is *chefs kiss*
What A MOMENT
That chain is Stunning...It's so you!
Aahh thanks so much 🙈💖
Hi Cassie love your necklace. Love my LV on the go tote. 🤗
Thanks so much 🙌🏽💖
Love your accessories😍
Thanks so much 🙈💖
Cassie,the Chanel necklace is so gorgeous😃😃
Aahh thanks Kimmy 🙈💖
You’re the best Cassie❤️
Thank you so much 🙈
The Fendi tote is probably the most gorg IMO thanks for the video
Yes! Fendi does some great ones! 🙌🏽💖
