Stop Everything: Dior Just Brought Back the Bag We All Desperately Wanted in the Noughties

When Maria Grazia Chiuri presented her Autumn 2018 collection for Dior [1], we immediately fell for her funky yet modern creations. What we loved even more, however, was the touch of nostalgia that she injected into the pieces. While the bold patchwork dresses and feminist jumpers were what first caught our eye, we then noticed that the designer has also decided to revive the bag we all desperately wanted in the early noughties: the saddle bag.

First launched in 1999 — back when John Galliano was at the helm of the French house — it was propelled into popularity when Sarah Jessica Parker wore it in the third season of Sex and the City [2]. Now almost 20 years later, Grazia Chiuri has given this It piece a well-deserved facelift thanks to boho straps, colourful patterns, and a gold Dior "D," proving that the logo mania isn't going anywhere. Read on to get a closer look at how it's been styled by fashion It girls (and boys!), and start saving!
