Driving the cost-per-wear of my Saddle down as quickly as I can...
Thank you! I'm really enjoying how versatile the tote is, especially with the shoulder strap.
My new CD Icon carbon-finished necklace and Dior VIII
Hi all - longtime reader, haven't posted since 2015.
I have long obsessed over John Galliano for Christian Dior, and quickly fell in love with Kim Jones at Dior Homme. After scoring a Sorayama ring back in May, I made my first bag purchase this past July - the Large Saddle Tote!
I recall seeing three versions of this on the French Dior Homme site back in July (small, medium, large), but only had the chance to see the medium and large in-person in New York. I settled on the Large for work / commuting purposes and have no complaints so far. I tend to use the shoulder strap more often than carrying the tote by the leather handles. I also should note that the Dior.com listing for this bag displays a leather shoulder strap, but I purchased mine with a logo woven nylon strap (preferred, tbh).
I recently returned to the boutique for my first RTW piece.

This is gorgeous. And the nylon strap gives the tote a much more contemporary feel. I’m so obsessed with what Kim Jones is doing!
Congratulations, that's a great bag
Can't wait to see the RTW piece.I think I'm actually more into the RTW with Kim Jones than the accessories, even if this is the purse forum! I'm glad this season's stuff is less fragile than SS19. The dévoré t-shirt got very obvious pulls in it after the third wear just from walking around and sitting, and I can't really wear it any more, but I don't think it's worth taking it back as it really comes down to a design flaw in the fabric... I got the velours t-shirt from this collection and have some other things on my list, but we'll see how it goes... I'm trying to avoid super trendy pieces, but I guess they are by default as they are runway pieces.
Althought at least Kim is keeping the buckles around for a while it seems.
Wow, I’m surprised that happened to your T-shirt. I would take it back, I’ve worn mine pretty much all over summer, and it’s held up well.Congratulations, that's a great bag

It's not the same fabric (sadly), this is a wool/ polyamide mix with very large loops in the knit to make the dévoré Dior pattern. It's a beautiful effect, but extremely fragile. Edit: Uploaded pictures. I imagine this must have been a nightmare to make.

That's awful! What a shame. If it happens from sitting and moving around then it's waaaay too delicate.It's not the same fabric (sadly), this is a wool/ polyamide mix with very large loops in the knit to make the dévoré Dior pattern.

Thank you! I bought the embroidered velour t-shirt in green; I was unable to find "black" (more purple) in my size.
I was told green is unavailable/ exclusive online or to other regions, so I got the black . But I really wanted the green!

Obsessing over the necklace. I'm into chunky chain jewelry at the moment. It looks heavy?
