It is heavy but I like the weight to it. I usually like pendant-style necklaces, but I have a soft spot for chunky chains. I just love them!

Congrats on your new purchases, I am still stalking the Dior quake bag. But I saw the another oblique saddle messenger bag but not the liver shaped one, its more half-circular. I attached an image. What do you think? Have you seen this bag in person?

I like this bag but I like the original Saddle more. I tried on the black leather version of this before and it looked amazing, but I still prefer the Saddle shape. Plus this one doesn't have the Matthew Williams (Alyx) buckle, and I love that buckle.
This bag looks very nice even on more formal looks, especially the leather versions. The price point is also quite attractive.
The Dior Quake is wonderful as well. It is being released soon in an all-leather Oblique version.
Went to the new boutique on Bloor St yesterday to pick up the Sorayama necklace that my new SA ordered in for me, and walked out with a second item! I had seen the Sorayama necklace at the Yorkdale Dior men pop-up back in May but didn't buy it then because I was hoping to buy it in Europe in July to save the VAT. None of the boutiques I went to in Europe had it in stock. Then this Dior boutique opens and they had one. I almost paid for it but then chose the black CD Icon necklace instead. But was still thinking of this necklace. When I went back, it was sold out.
So the SA transferred one from Vancouver for me. I saw the CD Icon bracelet with the resin inlays, and tried it on too. It fits a bit large but not as large as I thought, and it is exactly the type of bracelet I love (chunky chain with a bit of branding). It's even more expensive than my CD Icon necklace!!! Never paid so much for a costume jewelry bracelet before!

I really want that oblique leather version. And hopefully some computer appropriate bags ib the same materials! With alyx buckles.
Thank you very much! I ADORE my Saddle bag!Gorgeous bag Mr. Dior!That gray color is exquisite!
The Saddle is now available in a grey Oblique jacquard:
This is my favorite backpack and I don't wear backpacks in general. If I were to buy one, this would be it. I saw one in person at the Bond Street boutique few months ago. It was gorgeous.
Preppy teddy bear with my saddle on Saturday LOL...
Joe you look amazing!
I apologize for crashing your gents site but I have an 11 year old who loves all my haute bling (my very newest acquisition is my beloved viii Montaigne watch which he loves!)
So I’m just letting you know I’m lurking and loving your style!
Thank you very much!
Your watch actually looks great on guys too. It's very classy and sophisticated, and the diameter of it is quite appropriate for both guys and girls.
@averagejoe Joe have you ever seen or tried Fendi's baguette for men? How does the smaller one compare to the Dior saddle if you might know?
Yes I have tried it. It is very similar in size. The price point is almost identical (it was identical in Europe, but in Canada the Fendi is $50 more for the leather version).
I like the Saddle more. The Baguette in the leather version still looks very much like the women's version, whereas the Saddle has been almost completely redesigned. I like the Porter nylon Baguette bags a lot more than the leather ones because the nylon softens their look (the leather one looks very rigid and purse-like) and makes it look nicer as a belt bag.
