Dior Saddle Mini Black Calfskin GHW

Description

With the introduction of this stunning Dior Saddle Mini Black Calfskin GHW bag, Maria Grazia Chiuri brings a fresh update to the iconic Saddle bag. Crafted in black grained calfskin, the legendary design features a Saddle flap with a D stirrup clasp on a magnetic strap with pulls, as well as an antique gold-finish metal CD signature on either side of the strap. Equipped with a wide adjustable and removable shoulder strap, the mini Saddle bag may be carried by hand, worn over the shoulder or crossbody.

This Saddle bag is of Calfskin leather. Smooth, sleek and soft, Calfskin is made from calf hide. Its small and delicate grains give it an elegant texture. Calfskin is very versatile, nicely balancing the soft, supple feel of Lambskin with the look of Caviar. Despite its smooth look and feel, Calfskin is quite durable- making it the everyday bag for fashionistas on-the-go. Calfskin is the perfect Dior leather for those looking for both luxurious and long-lasting leather.

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 and with time the bag has become the icon that it is today!

In the early 2000s the bag was carried by top fashionistas, from Beyoncé to Carrie Bradshaw. The bag is intended to be worn either short, trapped and tight against the arm like a saddle, hence the name, or crossbody thanks to the comfy strap.

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 Dior bags of the brand! If you are looking for a shoulder bag that is classic but also stylish, this Dior Saddle Mini Black Calfskin GHW is the one! The shape is unique and will elevate any outfit.
