Jaq's Take: Dior Saddle Bag Review 2023
→ What is the hype around the Dior Saddle Bag?
When we dive into the world of iconic logo bags, it’s impossible to ignore the one that took the fashion scene by storm – originally crafted by John Galliano for the spring/summer show of 2000 (1999). This timeless masterpiece has graced the arms of celebrities, adorned the glossy pages of magazines, and strutted down countless runways since its peak in popularity back in 2003. However, what’s truly fascinating is how the enduring allure of the saddle bag has experienced a remarkable resurgence in 2023, with Forbes reporting an astounding 89% increase in its consignment value. So, if you happen to have one tucked away in the depths of your mom’s closet, it might just be the perfect moment to dust it off!
As a 21-year-old college student deeply passionate about fashion and clothing, I’m excited to offer you my candid perspective on this coveted accessory!

If you have a personal style, pick the Dior bag that matches that. Here are some criteria to consider when choosing your Dior Saddle Bag.
- Which color(s) you wear the most of
- Staple colors like white and black
- If you wear lots of jewelry/patterns you may want to consider an embellished bag like the Dior Tears Saddle Bag or the Black Crinkle-Effect Lambskin with White Resin Pearls
- Which color best matches the undertones in your skin tone
- If you adore Dior, get the embroidered or oblique logo monogram saddle bag.

→ What Dior Saddle Bag do I have?
The Ultramatte Black Calfskin
I chose ultramatte black because I thought it was the most practical option. I wear lots of black and white with small pops of color in pieces here and there. However, I like my basics and neutrals. Therefore, I decided the black would match everything.

- Gorgeous ultramatte black color goes with everything
- Seamless magnetic clasp makes it easy to close

4.8/5
The luxury of owning one of these bags comes with quite a hefty cost without actually fitting my keys inside. However, its timeless design makes it's resale value fantastic, and the quality and construction is made to last forever. I adore Dior.
