Dior Releases New Collection of Saddle Bags

In case you somehow missed the bevy of influencers toting their Dior saddle bags on Instagram this morning, the iconic bag is officially back and available to shop starting today.

Carried by everyone from Paris Hilton to Carrie Bradshaw, the distinctly-shaped bag largely defined the fashion of the early aughts. And if you weren't lucky enough to wear the bag back in 2000, now's your chance. After slowly popping up (and selling out) on resale sites like The Real Real and Vestiaire Collective, Maria Grazia Chiuri reintroduced the Dior saddle bag on the Fall 2018 runway in newly-imagined iterations like sleek all-black leather, '60s-inspired patchwork, and of course, the logo version that ruled the 2000s.

And now, starting today, the Fall 2018 bags are finally available to shop in stores. The new crop of bags come in a range of styles and are offered in two sizes: a mini and a large (so if the ultra-tiny original versions were too small to fit all your belongings, you're in luck). Prices range from $2,350 to $8,500.

"I consider this icon of the house's recent history the perfect accessory to deal with this battle that is daily life. Indeed, the saddle bag is a bag that is worn in exactly the same way as a shirt or jacket, and it’s so comfortable to wear with its long strap that you almost forget it’s there," Maria Grazia Chiuri said in a statement from the brand.
