I walked away with one of these today. Anyone other than @hightea_xx care to guess? He already knows!
The boxy Saddle is cute but it is very hard to get in and out with as it is deep with no stretch to the leather (it is very structured). The leather is more resilient than I thought for a smooth leather (it doesn't scratch as easily as I thought), but there was already a scratch on it from shop wear. It was smaller than I imaged it to be.

Interesting. Thanks for the pictures. The oblique saddle pouch is much bigger than I expected! I had expected it to be 40% smaller. My guess is you bought the gradient Saddle pouch. I'm not sure why North America didn't get the oblique boxy messenger bag. But given your assessment, seems like a bag that's waiting to be scratched. How's your Rimowa holding up? One of the reason I'm still on the sideline due to aluminum shows scratch easily.
I will reveal soon! Good guess
The boxy Saddle isn't that hard to scratch at all. I think someone who tried it on (or the SA putting it on the mannequin) may have been less than careful. The scratch looks like it can be buffed out, actually. With an Oblique 3D pattern, scratches would look even less apparent.
The lock on the bag is quite nice. It is a heritage lock that appeared on two Maria Grazia Chiuri designs already. The D pulls out completely in this case, by pressing the button below it. I wish I liked it more given how it is quite rare, and that the lock was very interesting.
My Rimowa is holding up very well. Wore it this past Saturday and it was perfect for the warm weather with it's thinner strap and metal body (thick straps tend to make me sweat under them when it is very hot). I love the blue colour (very summery). Not a single scratch on the aluminum. Even if it did scratch, it wouldn't show as easily on the blue version as on the black version.
More pics. Anymore guesses? Was hoping there was more activity here.
Hi averagejoe, I would guess that you bought the blue ombre saddle bag....?
I was too late, but I KNEW you were gonna pick that one going through the post! Congrats on your latest acquisition!
Thanks! I was thinking about it during the store closures before, and still wasn't 100% sure until I tried it on. That degrade colour!
Yay! Blue ombre twins! Sadly I haven't even used mine yet for obvious reasons.
First trip out to Dior since social distancing measures have been eased in Toronto.
Looked at a couple of accessories and RTW, tried this top on:
Did end up with something, and it was placed in the LARGEST bag I’ve ever received haha. Thanks @averagejoe for your help!
reveal coming soon (as I realized I didn’t take a change room selfie!)

Twinsies! I actually had to go back to your picture here when I was trying to see if I should buy it when the boutiques weren't opened yet. The stock photos of the bag look horrible and inaccurate (it looks very dark online for some reason).
It was fun! You're the only person I have now met in real life who loves Dior as much as I do!
Haha you see my legs in the mirror!
I snapped a quick pic while you were distracted lol.
Here is the reveal, the blue overshirt with oblique pocket detail!
Styled with my Lady WOC and some costume jewelry including one of my first ever pieces from many moons ago: a D.I.O.R. necklace with strass.
