Saddle

Having debuted in 1999, 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 that is reminiscent of a saddle shape. Its magnetic 'D' is influenced by stirrup clasps, while the signature 'CD' on each side makes the design distinctively Dior.

In more ornate versions, it is covered with the hallmark Dior Oblique or Toile de Jouy motifs. It can also feature embellishments such as embroidery, resin pearls, sheepskin, multicolor pints, embroidered denim and exotic leathers. Each bag can be made even more unique with different 'Christian Dior' embroidered shoulder straps, which the House offers separately.

The line also boasts chains, belt pouches, card holders and phone cases to adopt to even the most modern lifestyles. The emblematic saddle shape even can be found in the Men's universe too, often the shape of pockets on bags, pants, or shirts.
