Dior has brought back its iconic saddle bag
From Carrie Bradshaw to Paris Hilton, Dior’s iconic Saddle bag was seen on the arms of every ‘It’ girl going – both real and fictional – in the late '90s and early ‘00s. The last few months has seen something of a revival in people carrying the vintage tote, so much so that Dior has actually decided to bring back the design.
As part of it’s autumn/winter 2018 collection, which was shown in February, Dior presented the bag in a number of different styles including in the signature Dior logo print, a few in simple black leather and a number of 70s-inspired patchwork and beaded styles. They all featured the iconic gold ‘D’ charm hanging off them.
The bag was initially introduced under John Galliano's direction back in 1999 and quickly rose to prominence after being seen on the arm of 'It' girls including Paris Hilton and Beyoncé. It was of course, perhaps most notably, also carried by Sex and the City's Carrie Bradshaw on a number of occasions (the ultimate honour for any '90s accessory).
