Dior proposes a revival of the Saddle Bag icon

The artistic director of Dior, Maria Grazia Chiuri, has recently turned to the Dior archives for the Fall / Winter 2018 prêt-à-porter collection, proposing the iconic Saddle Bag that debuted for the first time in the Spring / Summer 2000 fashion show .

The Saddle Bag, born in fact from the design of John Galliano, former creative director of Dior, and was notoriously interpreted at the time by Sarah Jessica Parker in the movie “Sex and the City”.

Now the Saddle Bag has been revisited in two models: one with monochromatic leather and the words “Peace, Love Dior” inspired by the 70s, while the other model presents an oblique-shaped canvas embellished by hand embroidery with beads and designs bright colors in contrast. The change is also in the iconic bag strap that appears longer, fringed and metal, to be worn over the shoulder or shoulder.

“I thought this collection would be an opportunity to revive its timeless beauty,” said Maria Grazia Chiuri.
