Model History:
The Saddle bag, designed by John Galliano in 1999 for Dior, has become an iconic Dior accessory. Its equestrian-inspired design was quickly recognized for its bold shape and avant-garde allure. The Maxi version of this model meets contemporary needs in terms of capacity, while retaining the strong visual signature that made its mark from the outset. The Saddle has been taken up again in recent collections, and has evolved to suit more urban uses, notably with this masculine model with its assertive lines.
Exterior Details:
Black grained leather gives the bag a sober, elegant look, with a slightly grainy texture that enhances its scratch resistance. The half-moon shape evokes a horse’s saddle, a nod to Dior’s equestrian heritage. The adjustable shoulder strap in black woven canvas is punctuated with the house name and features a metal clip clasp, guaranteeing comfort and security when worn. A removable zippered pocket on the shoulder strap adds a practical element to the ensemble.
Interior Details:
The interior of the bag is lined in solid black canvas, with a large main compartment for personal belongings. An internal zipped leather pocket stamped “Dior” secures small items. The high-quality zipper opening ensures smooth, easy access to contents while preserving security.
Product Condition:
This bag is in very good overall condition. The grained leather is well preserved, with no deep scratches or major signs of wear. The metal parts are in perfect condition and the canvas shoulder strap is intact. The removable pocket and fasteners work perfectly.
Care instructions:
To preserve the quality of grained leather, clean regularly with a soft, slightly damp cloth. The occasional use of a special leather lotion will nourish the material and maintain its suppleness. Avoid prolonged exposure to humidity and heat sources. When not in use, store in its original fabric cover.
