The Curation Note

The Dior Saddle Bag is one of the great second acts in fashion history. Originally designed by John Galliano in 1999 — inspired by horseback riding and equestrian culture — it was discontinued and then triumphantly revived by Maria Grazia Chiuri in 2018, becoming an instant sell-out. In Oblique jacquard, the bag’s distinctive D-shaped silhouette takes on near-tapestry quality: the interlocking CD monogram woven with the precision of couture embroidery. It is simultaneously a nostalgia object and a living fashion document, worn equally by vintage collectors and contemporary fashion enthusiasts.
