Default How to bypass MkDir when that Dir exists already

I have macro which creates Subdirectories. I need to bypass MkDir command if
that folder already exists. How do you do that?

Thanks for your help.

I found it:

Sub DirectoryExists()
FPath = Range("B2")
If Dir(FPath) = "" Then '.....If
Dir("C:\Users\Owner\Documents\ExcelF\") = "" Then
MsgBox "It does not exists"
Else
MsgBox "It is already there"
End If
End Sub

As others already sugested, check if the Dir exists.

Or try to create the Dir and simply ignore the error:

On Error Resume Next 'instruct VBA to ignore any error
MkDir "MyNewSubdir"
On Error GoTo 0 'no error handling
or
On Error GoTo MyErrorHandler 'reenable your previous
'error handling
