Born in 1999 and reborn in 2018 under Maria Grazia Chiuri, it remains one of the most coveted It-bags ever made. But this is no ordinary Saddle. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThis piece comes from Dior's \u003cstrong\u003eFall 2018 runway\u003c\/strong\u003e, the collection that reintroduced the Saddle to the world. Chiuri built the whole collection around May 1968: the Paris student uprisings, the feminist movement, fashion as protest. The Saddle came back as a part of that: a cross-body marker for \"an army of women\" styled like a uniform of unified strength. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eEvery inch of this piece is covered in dense, hand-applied glass beadwork and embroidery. Raised beaded tassels catch the light across the flap, giving the surface a tactile, almost textile dimensionality that flat embroidery never achieves. This is the kind of artisanal labor that Dior reserves for its most exceptional productions and its runway pieces, and it reads as couture object as much as a handbag. Chiuri described the Saddle as a chameleon that adapts to anything.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eIt arrives with two ways to wear it: the signature black leather strap with antiqued gold buckle, and a wide bohemian woven strap embroidered in coordinating tones and studded with antiqued silver medallions. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand: Christian Dior\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStyle: Mini Saddle Bag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCollection: Fall 2018 (Runway)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Canvas with multicolor glass bead embroidery and beaded tassels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardware: Antiqued gold-tone (bag); antiqued silver medallions (embroidered strap)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 19 x 15 x 6 cm (W x H x D)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition: Excellent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes original box and dust bag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEntrupy Certificate of Authenticity \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"The Archival Collection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48623328526436,"sku":null,"price":6350.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/9308\/9892\/files\/6_ea697ae5-04be-478a-b964-2b99a0bacd27.png?v=1782174108","url":"https:\/\/thearchivalcollection.com\/products\/dior-beaded-mini-saddle-bag","provider":"The Archival Collection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
