Saddle Bag Dior’s original single saddle bag has re-emerged in the fashion industry
Dior’s iconic Saddle Bag has been resurrected, from a trendy ‘old’ to another favorite accessory. The shape had to have iconic Dior allure and the shortest straps in the world – from large Dior saddle bags to sizes that vary from size to size. Nonetheless, it still occupies history as one of the most coveted handbags of all time. In fact, in 2001, Dior’s accessory sales increased by over 60% thanks to the Saddle Bag!
Almost 20 years later, we are once again witnessing the power of the Dior saddle bag. In 2018, Maria Grazia Chiuri re-launched the Dior Saddle Bag at the Dior Fall ready-to-wear show in Paris to set the trend.
Now it’s back on the shoulders of top influencers and celebrities, in supple calfskin and Dior twill canvas with leather trim. Just like the Baguette, the latest Saddle bag comes with a super-sophisticated detachable shoulder strap, so you can decide which one best suits your mood (and style) for the day.
While the updated Saddle is charming, the original design is just as cute and easy on the Dior bag. Fortunately, you can still get them here.
When I lived in Times Square, the Saddle was the signature accessory for European tourists. In 2019, it has re-emerged in the fashion industry. I have only seen canvas fabrics before, but now there are many styles.
