I got two goodies on my trip to Europe! Any guesses?
The white box could be a bracelet? The blue one... a bag??
@dondontown you are correct about the blue box. It's the grey men's Saddle. The colour is perfect as I needed a neutral colour that wasn't dark, and I wanted the leather version. It was love at first sight. 
I got it from the new boutique in Monte Carlo.

The white box is the new flat Saddle cardholder. I got it in Rome. I wanted this cardholder in leather in Toronto but they didn't receive this yet according to my SA (it was available on the Dior website). When I told her I was going to Europe, she told me to get it there because they have a much bigger selection than in Canadian stores. She said her customers tell her that sometimes they get so many choices that they end up getting confused about what they should get. And she was right. I asked for the cardholder and was immediately presented with several options. They had the black, burgundy, dark green, and blue leather versions, and also an Oblique one. I couldn't decide! I originally wanted a black or blue leather version, but the green looked so nice, and the burgundy would match anything brown. The Oblique one which I didn't even know existed because I didn't see it online was so darn cute.
I took two days to decide, and returned to get the Oblique one because it felt the most special, and was very different from the thicker Saddle cardholder wallet that I already own in black grained calfskin.

Congrats @averagejoe on both the Saddle bag and the cardholder!!! These are truly special pieces indeed@dondontown you are correct about the blue box. It's the grey men's Saddle.

Is the Saddle your first one?
Thanks! It's actually my second one. I got the clutch version in April along with a belt so that I could convert the clutch into a belt bag. The clutch version is adorable but it only fits my wallet and keys. It's for when I don't need to bring much.Congrats @averagejoe on both the Saddle bag and the cardholder!!! These are truly special pieces indeed
Here is the picture I shared earlier in this thread. I hope I still use this version now that I have the bigger one. At least they are different in colour.
Here is a picture of me wearing the bag when I was in Cannes:
Carrying my Diorama out for a day in Knightsbridge...Looks good on you! Congratulations with your purchases!
Looks great on you! That’s a nice elegant color. I can’t wait for the Arsham x Dior blue saddle bag. I love the gradation on it.
Me too. I believe the Arsham x Dior crystal saddle bag is like 14k usd if I remember correctly. Def collector’s item for sure. I don’t know why I assume rimowa x Dior crossbody would be less than saddle bag. Sadly I was wrong.I'm prepared for the worst, my wallet isn't though...
