Named for Christian Dior's own dog and introduced for Fall/Winter 2020, the Bobby is defined by its curved flap, elongated body and the CD clasp set on a leather tab.

This is the whipstitched variant, where the entire perimeter is finished in hand-braided leather cord rather than plain stitching — a considerably more labour-intensive construction that retailed above the standard Bobby.

Executed in warm tan calfskin with gold-tone hardware and a buckled flap strap.

Why this piece

Whipstitched construction, scarcer on resale than the smooth Bobby
Retailed above the standard Medium Bobby
Warm tan, the most versatile Bobby colourway
Excellent condition with the braiding fully intact

Positioning
Say "whipstitched" in the title. Most Bobby listings are the smooth version, and buyers searching for the braided construction will otherwise never find you. The braiding is also what justifies pricing above a standard Medium Bobby, so photograph it in close-up.

Closing
The Bobby is Dior's most quietly successful recent design, and the whipstitched edition is the one that shows the atelier's hand.
