The history of this Dior bag
The Dior Saddle is one of the most emblematic bags of the Maison Christian Dior. Designed in the late 1990s under the direction of John Galliano, it draws direct inspiration from the shape of an equestrian saddle and quickly became a cult piece of the 2000s. This model is presented here in the iconic Dior Oblique canvas, the monogram motif created by Marc Bohan and first unveiled in 1969. Still produced in the historic weaving workshops of Flanders in France, this canvas embodies the House’s craftsmanship and enduring heritage.
