The story behind this Dior Saddle Boxy bag
Dior made its mark on the history of accessories with the creation of the Saddle silhouette in the early 2000s. Upon taking over as creative director of the menswear collections, Kim Jones reinterpreted this shape to offer a utilitarian take. This Saddle Boxy model responds to a demand for a structured design capable of holding everyday items without distorting the leather. Reference 1ADPO094YKK embodies this transition between heritage and functionality. The distinctive feature of this version lies in its ‘Oblique Gravity’ finish, an embossing technique that applies the signature pattern beneath a protective lacquered layer.
The structure, leather and shoulder straps of this Saddle Boxy
This bag features a rigid structure with a flat base and straight gussets, measuring 21 centimetres in length, 14 centimetres in height and 5 centimetres in depth. It is crafted from yellow patent calfskin, embossed with the Dior Oblique motif. The lacquered finish provides a smooth and durable surface. The main compartment is secured by a palladium-finished metal zip, whilst the front pocket features the signature asymmetrical cut-out, held in place by a concealed magnetic clasp. The bag features two separate, detachable straps. The first can be worn over the shoulder or across the body thanks to its adjustable buckle, whilst the second serves as a short wrist strap for carrying by hand. The metal fittings, including the snap hooks and loops, are engraved with the brand name.
Why this Dior bag
This piece offers a practical alternative to traditional designs. The boxy shape protects the contents whilst retaining the visual identity of the asymmetrical flap. The lacquered yellow colour provides a striking contrast to classic shades. On the second-hand market, the Oblique Gravity variations are attracting particular interest.
