About this subject

The Dior Bobby East-West Medium is part of the Bobby line, launched in 2019 under creative director Maria Grazia Chiuri. The name Bobby pays homage to Christian Dior's dog, a faithful companion of the designer. Unlike the original version, the East-West has a horizontally elongated shape, which makes it ideal for crossbody wear and provides a modern, versatile look. The bag is crafted from grained calfskin leather, with aged gold-tone metal details, including the CD clasp inspired by vintage Dior perfume bottles. Inside, it features the '30 Montaigne' embossing, the historic address of the maison in Paris. Each piece is handcrafted in Italy, following strict quality standards. The medium size is one of the most sought after, as it balanced capacity and proportion, fitting essentials like wallet, phone and keys. The Bobby line quickly became an icon among luxury bags, worn by celebrities such as Jennifer Lawrence and Chiara Ferragni. Its clean, structured design contrasts with more ornate models, making it a timeless choice for daily use or special occasions.
