Description
Model History:
Imagined by John Galliano in 1999, the Saddle bag became a classic of the 2000s thanks to its shape inspired by equestrian saddles and its signature details. Relaunched in 2018 by Maria Grazia Chiuri, it has seen numerous re-editions, from monogrammed to leather versions, as well as contemporary materials and finishes. This turquoise grained leather version reflects the evolution of this iconic model in a modern spirit, while retaining its strong visual identity.
Exterior Details:
Turquoise-blue grained leather gives the bag a bright yet balanced color, accented by black-painted edges. The iconic Saddle flap is held in place by a magnetic tab, extended by the rigid “D”-shaped pendant. Iridescent-finish metal jewelry with blue-green highlights is marked “CD” on either side of the handle. The bag has no removable shoulder strap, but can be combined with the option of an additional strap (not included). Its rounded structure retains the asymmetrical cut characteristic of the Saddle line.
Interior Details:
The interior is lined with turquoise-blue suede to match the exterior, providing harmonious visual continuity. It includes a zipped patch pocket on the back of the bag, ideal for securing small items. The main space is functional for an everyday bag, with no additional dividers, and accommodates essentials such as a phone, wallet, keys and make-up.
Product Condition:
The bag is in excellent condition. There are no scratches or stains on the leather exterior. The jewelry in perfect condition retains its iridescent shine. The inner suede lining is clean, with no significant marks. Seams and edges are clean, with no noticeable rubbing.
Care instructions:
To preserve the appearance of grained leather, avoid prolonged contact with water or abrasive surfaces. Clean gently with a soft, dry cloth. Store the bag in a dustbag away from direct light, and avoid hanging it from a hook to avoid altering the shape of the handle. In the event of stains on the interior suede, professional dry-cleaning is recommended.
