Finding merchandise that includes your favorite things on it is sometimes hard. Finding a designer version of that is even harder. But luckily companies like Dior bring in everyone’s favorite books as part of their Book Cover Totes and provide high quality bags, card holders, clothing, and more with some classic books. The latest addition to their line is none other than Bret Easton Ellis’ American Psycho!
The novel, which has since been adapted into a successful film by Mary Harron and Guinevere Turner as well as a musical by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa with music by Duncan Sheik, was released in 1991. Following the decline of Patrick Bateman, a Wall Street man who has a darkness in him, the novel explored author Bret Easton Ellis’ hatred for New York and more. And it made Patrick Bateman into one of our most iconic of horror figures.
There are certain bits of iconography with the novel and film that are now synonymous with the character. Including Bateman’s axe that he uses to kill Paul Owens (in the novel) and Paul Allen (played by Jared Leto in the film). From his business card to his suit and sunglasses, elements of Patrick Bateman work to set the scene for American Psycho but Dior took a classic route to bringing the novel to life.
A classic black, white, and red look, the Dior line is simple yet perfect. The kind of font that Patrick Bateman would approve of for his business card. But much like Bateman’s own wardrobe, the price tag on the Dior line is for those committed to Patrick Bateman’s wallet. Starting with a $500 magnetic card holder and ranging up to $3,700 for the Large Dior Book Tote, the line is definitely an investment for every American Psycho fan.
But wait, there’s more! It isn’t just about bags and wallets for this special edition entry into Dior’s catalog. The line also includes a shirt and a sweatshirt version of the design that range from $1,000 for the shirt to $1,800 for the sweatshirt. You can also purchase a passport cover for $600 or the medium size Dior Book Tote bag for $3,600.
Would Patrick Bateman wear a Dior sweatshirt? Maybe if it was all about him but this is perfect for everyone who loves Huey Lewis and the News and Christian Bale’s performance as Patrick Bateman.
