Model History:
Created in 1999 by John Galliano, the Saddle Bag quickly established itself as a cult piece of the 2000s. Its saddle-inspired shape and distinctive codes made it instantly recognizable. The Dior Oblique motif, imagined by Marc Bohan in 1967, anchors this piece in the house’s textile heritage. Since 2018, the model has been regularly revisited under the direction of Maria Grazia Chiuri, notably in a mini version, faithful to the original aesthetic.
Exterior Details:
The bag features a blue Dior Oblique jacquard canvas on a beige background, framed by navy-blue leather trim. The flap with concealed magnetic closure is adorned with a rigid “D” pendant in distressed gold metal, matching the “CD” signature side hooks attached to the short handle. The whole retains the Saddle model’s emblematic asymmetrical silhouette.
