THE SADDLE BAG – A Noughties Icon

The Saddle Bag is probably one of the most famous designs by designer John Galliano for the House of Dior. The Brit was creative director of the traditional French house from 1996 to 2011 and had a decisive influence on the style of the noughties with his designs.

He presented the Saddle Bag for the first time with the Spring/Summer 2000 Collection. Celebrities like Paris Hilton were immediately big fans of the small saddle-shaped bag. She finally became a sought-after cult object when she was stuck under Carrie Bradshaw's shoulder in the third season of "Sex and the City".

In 2018 it was relaunched by current Dior head designer Maria Grazia Chiuri and has since been more in demand than ever.
