Original Retail Price – ~USD 3,145–3,200 / ~RM14,340–14,590
Part of Dior's Spring/Summer 2023 Petites Fleurs capsule, this Book Tote works dense multicolour floral embroidery across a natural raffia-effect ground — a lighter, more summery register than the house's usual canvas motifs.
Poppies, daisies and scattered blooms are worked in raised thread over the woven base, with tonal brown canvas handles and the CHRISTIAN DIOR PARIS band running across the centre.
Please note: this example carries a set of third-party promotional stickers applied to the front panel, which are not part of the original bag.

Positioning
Be upfront about the stickers in the first line of the listing and in the first photograph. A buyer who discovers them after delivery opens a dispute; a buyer who accepts them has already priced them in. If they lift cleanly, re-photograph and re-list at the clean range — that is worth roughly USD 700–1,000 to you.
Closing
Dior's raffia capsules are produced for one season and not repeated in the same colour story, which gives Petites Fleurs a scarcity the standard Oblique Book Tote will never have.
