Inspired by a 1967 Marc Bohan* drawing found in the Dior archives, Maria Grazia Chiuri,** designed the Dior Book Tote. The Dior Book Tote was launched in 2018.
The US design patent USD1028499S1, titled Handbag, was awarded on May 28, 2024, to Maria Grazia Chiuri for the Dior Book Tote Paris Map design in tapestry. The Applicant was Christian Dior Couture, in Paris, France.
Since the Dior Book Tote first appeared on the runway, the handbag has been re-invented many times, in ornate tapestries that require about 40 hours and 1500 stitches to produce. Below, the extracted patent Figure 1.1, showing the Paris Map design in tapestry, together with a series of marketed embodiments of the Dior Book Totes. The series illustrates the variety of Dior Book totes produced with different tapestry designs.
