Being a fashion blogger, I can literally not avoid trends. Especially at the moment, while fashion week is happening. I always love to follow the shows, to catch the new trends, to spot the best outfits and accessories. But even if the catwalk is where fashion is happening, it is simply impossible to avoid the crowds of admirers and supporters of the brand. The Dior show was - as usual - amazing, but the spectators were also part of the décor, and on every fashion blogger or buyers, we could spot one bag: the Saddle. This purse is quite something. It has not been invented by Chiuri actually, but is part of the Dior collection since the 90s, and has been seen on it girls such as Carrie Bradshaw, to name the most iconic one. Yet as of the start of the century was not ready for it, nobody really payed attention to the Saddle, until Chiuri reedited it. It is now a it-bag, one we can spot on every fashion blogger, from Song of Style to Paris in Four Months, or Negin Mirsalehi.
However, whenever Maria Grazia Chiuri brings out something, it is a hit. She knows what the public and the buyers want, and is here to bring it to them. The Saddle, in her hands, became hippie chic, ornamented with beautiful and colorful patchworks, covered in pearls, or more classical, with the Dior monogram or plain leather. This bag has one of the most original yet fashionable and practical shape. It does adapt itself really easily to the body shape, whether carried on the shoulder, or with the cross body strap. In this case, originality is not contradictory to utility. However, the most important aspect of it is for sure its designer facet, meaning by that, that this bag is one of the most recognizable one. Its name and design perfectly matched the topic of her last show, revolving around horse riding and this activity's feminine history. I cannot say if this bag will become a classic, because it is still a pretty peculiar shape, but at the moment, this bag is living glory days. And the more I see it on street style shots and Dior's outfit, the more I want one in every design, print, color, material, that exist.
