In case you were wondering what the hottest accessory on the street style block was this fall, it was none other than the Christian Dior Saddle Bag! Originally, spotted and loved on Sex and the city, the Dior saddle bag, now a decade later, has made a huge comeback.
It started earlier this Spring, when the craze saturated the feeds of every global fashion blogger all at once. There was one moment where I scrolled through my timeline and it was a back-to-back frenzy from different fashion influencers showing off their new equestrian-inspired companion. The Instagram takeover was so huge that it raised concerns among several fashion publications including Fashionista.com who spoke on the longevity of this kind of marketing approach warning that a PR Blast of this nature was only going to result in a very short shelf-life for the bags. Well now 7 months down the beaten path, it is fair to say these saddle bags are here to stay!
At fashion week this fall it was practically everywhere! Proving that the love for these beautiful saddle handbags were bigger than a strategic PR campaign.
Comment and let me know what you really think about seeing this bag everywhere? Are you guys totally over it or do you think it deserves all the attention it’s been getting ?
