Welcome to The History of the Dior Saddle Bag!
The History of the Dior Saddle Bag:
The Dior Saddle bag, one of the most iconic bags of the brand, has a history that is worth getting to know! The Dior Saddle bag was designed in 1999 by John Galliano. The first reaction for the bag was chock: it was said to be ugly or high fashion, or in some cases both. But with time the bag has become the icon that it is today!
In the early 2000`s the bag was sported by everyone, from Beyoncé to Carrie Bradshaw. The bag is intended to be worn short trapped and tight against the arm like a saddle, hence the name. After the enormous success of the bag in the Y2K, the bag was discontinued in the 2010’s.
In 2018 Maria Grazia Chiurri relaunched this bag and it has since become a part of the classic styles of the brand. The Dior Saddle bag takes its cues from the equestrian world. The inspiration can be seen in the graphic design with the now iconic asymmetrical flap.
At this point the Saddle can already be considered a classic! More than 20 years after its launch it remains one of the most popular bags of the brand!
If you are looking for a shoulder bag that is classic but also stylish, this is the one! The shape is unique and will elevate any outfit.
The Dior Saddle comes in multiple colors, prints and sizes. It also comes with a detachable crossbody strap, so you can wear it in many ways! You can also buy one of the iconic embroidered straps of Dior, to add your own touch to this iconic bag. This is one of The Best Dior Bags Ever!
