Take home this Dior Book Tote canvas bag with Christian Dior embroidering on one side and personalized name or monogram on the other.

The Dior Book Tote Bag combines style and tradition, taking us back to summers of the 60s, 1967 to be precise - the year in which Marc Bohan created the texture that today features on the canvas tote bag requested by Maria Grazia Chiuri.

Simplicity is a sign of luxury with 37 hours of painstaking work going into every Book Tote, in order to achieve that classic Dior non-color with thousands of stitches running across the surface. In actual fact it takes one million five hundred and fifty stitches to make this must-have tote.

Stunning simplicity and tradition with a Saint Tropez vacation feel that will add a ray of sunshine to even the grayest of desks. Maria Grazie Chiuri's most recent Haute Couture offering aims for the luxury to be found in simplicit and the Dior Book Tote Bag Oblique is a fine example of this philosophy.

Hand or shoulder bag.

Dimensions: 41,5 x 32 x 5 cm

The Cause

Since 2003, the Veronesi foundation has been pursuing a single objective: promoting the progress of science, health resources and ethical growth—civilly and in society.

"Science must always work for and with the human being,” declared the founder, Umberto Veronesi, “this means respect of the person, research for solutions and strategies that can improve the quality of life, offering new hopes for the present and for the generations in the future”.

At the core of the foundation there is barrier-free and scientific research that invests in young talent from each country, working toward answers to new questions using innovative and high-profile research programs dedicated to the prevention and diagnosis of tumors, cardiovascular disease and neuroscience, and the discovery of cure strategies that are efficient and beneficial to the entire community.

Unique in its genesis, the foundation has pushed its own interests outside the walls of a laboratory, encouraging social involvement and education in science. The Veronesi Foundation is also active with its devotion to science so that the results from science become available to everybody. Particularly, the foundation spreads the principles of prevention and correct lifestyle to keep disease away, even the most serious diseases that we can avoid just by changing our behavior.
