Description
Model History:
First launched at the dawn of the 2000s, the Saddle Bag marked a major stylistic breakthrough in luxury dressing. With its bold shape and resolutely fashionable spirit, it became an icon from its first appearance on the Dior catwalks. In 2018, Maria Grazia Chiuri faithfully resurrects it, retaining its characteristic cut while updating it with noble materials and meticulous finishes. This monogrammed canvas version pays homage to the house’s historic codes, while embracing a strong trend for a return to vintage logos.
Exterior Details:
The bag is crafted in thick jacquard canvas, enhanced by the precisely woven burgundy and beige Dior Oblique motif. Its curved shape hugs the side of the body perfectly when worn on the shoulder. The asymmetrical stirrup-shaped flap, typical of the model, closes with a concealed magnetic system. Two side straps hold the golden “C” and “D”, adding a discreet yet emblematic signature. The short shoulder strap is in smooth burgundy leather with sturdy metal fasteners, for a structured shoulder carry.
Interior Details:
The interior is lined with sturdy ecru canvas and features a leather patch zippered pocket on one side. The “Christian Dior – Made in Italy” embossed leather interior label is sewn under the closure, close to the serial code, corresponding to a 2018-dated production. The entire compartment is spacious enough to accommodate daily essentials, while maintaining an elegant, compact line.
Product Condition:
This model is in excellent condition, both in terms of the outer fabric and the metal finish. There are no stains or tears on the fabric, and the structure of the bag is perfectly preserved. The interior is clean, with no noticeable wear, and the zipper works perfectly.
Care instructions:
To preserve the brilliance of the monogrammed fabric, we recommend avoiding prolonged exposure to sunlight or moisture. Occasional cleaning can be carried out with a soft, slightly damp cloth. When not in use, store the bag in its dustbag, padding it slightly to preserve its shape. Avoid repeated contact with rough materials to avoid altering the weave.
Why Choose This Product :
The Dior Saddle Bag in monogrammed canvas is much more than an accessory: it’s a cult piece of fashion history, combining innovative design and vintage references. This 2018 version, faithful to the original but made with the house’s current standards, will delight fashion enthusiasts and lovers of iconic pieces. Its practical format, strong visual signature and remarkable condition make it an enduring choice, both stylish and timeless.
