You got quite the collection there! Obviously loving the Ombre Saddle (no bias therePile of bags and nowhere to go... sigh
). That Saddle minion backpack is something I really love. I didn't get it because it was black (trying hard to steer clear of black) but it looks incredibly cute and easy to use. How do you find it? Do you wear it as a belt bag or backpack?We will soon have lots of places to go with our bags!

yes, we are twinsies for ombré saddle bag.
I love the saddle minion backpack. I wear it as a belt bag draping across my chest. For the longest time that’s all I wore because it was so easy to use. I only carry phone, card case, and key pouch so it was perfect size for what I carry. When I go into stores with the bag, sa would tell me I’m the first person they seen wearing the bag in person! Lol. I don’t think they sold well because of the price and it’s made of nylon not leather. But I honestly love it. I’ll be wearing a lot of it when they find vaccine or cure for COVID-19.
With COVID-19 though, I’ve been carrying Diorcamp bag when I get supplies from Target so I can fit hand sanitizer gel, masks, hand sanitizer wipes plus my usual stuff in a bag. The minion backpack won’t fit all those comfortably.
I’m a bit worry about using my ombré saddle bag as I’m afraid to touch it after using hand sanitizer gel/ wipe on my hands. I don’t know if color may come off due to bleach or bleach like property in hand sanitizer gels/ wipes. So to me, I feel I want to stay away from leather for now.
I totally get what you mean! When I went to the boutique to get my bag, I was using my handheld Bottega Veneta leather bag with no shoulder strap and as soon as I walked in, I was asked to use hand sanitizer. I looked super awkward trying to put the small top handles up my arm so I could avoid dripping the sanitizer on it, and then my hands were covered in the sanitizer so I had to wait until they dried until I could touch the bag again. With all the sanitizer eventually that day, the leather handles of my BV felt a bit grimey. I cleaned them at home with a damp cloth and dried them immediately, and they feel fine now. Will avoid leather bags for a while, too.yes, we are twinsies for ombré saddle bag.

That being said, the ombre leather is done nicely so I don't think it would ruin that easily, unlike a Ferragamo ombre shoe I had. It went from white to black. The black was actually sprayed dye. It could come off with alcohol, like spray paint comes off.
Now I'm wanting to reconsider the minion bag. I think it is super adorable, and so care-free. I thought it was a bit high for such a small bag at $2100 CAD (if I remember correctly) initially, but now I think it's actually a reasonable price for a Dior bag. My SA said that the price was a bit higher probably because they put that buckle on it. It's sold out at the flagship in Toronto right now, but can be transferred in from a different location.
I noticed you have two Saddles! Did you hesitate to get this gradient one initially because you would have two of the same bag? It was one of my reasons against this originally, but I couldn't resist the dreamy ombre effect.
not at all. To me, blue gradient makes the bag looks very spring and summer whereas my black one is more fall and winter. So I don’t see overlapping. I also have many LV keepalls which are essentially same bag with different designs. I don’t see a problem with buying same shape bag with different exterior design/ color. I also know people who has multiple Birkins with different colors and leathers. This is no different from that.
I understand having more than one Birkin or Keepall. With the Saddle, I hope it will stay as a classic like those two bags.not at all.

I think if it's a size you like and know you will keep wearing, it's useful to have multilpes as it'll be less wear on all the bags. The bags I use the most all fit one of two size schemes, even if they're not all technically the same model.
Great collection! I really like the bee tote!!
Are you getting anything from the Judy Blame collection?

Are you getting anything from the Judy Blame collection?Oh I’m sure he will keep producing various saddle bags every collection. I would be very surprised if he stops doing it for the foreseeable future. If he moves on to another house though, I can see the next creative director wants to put his/her stamp on Dior. But I think for now, we will see many iterations whether we like it or not!

I agree. It’s good to have multiple bags of same shape to put less stress on one singular bag... although in my case, I do tend to change out bags daily... with exception of the minion bag. I used to wear it four, five times a week.

I will when it eventually comes out. I like the beret and those dangling accessories. I also like some of the bombers with zipper details although I’m sure those will be in the 4-5k range. I will have to decide if I should get a bag or two at that price point over a bomber which I have plenty of (but then again, I have many bags as well).
Quarantine definitely just made me think about all the nice things I wanted to buy when it was done....!
Th new Bobby bag modeled by a guy on Instagram. Scroll to the end to see his mod shots.
All your big shopping bags lately!
I blame you! Though maybe not in this case hah.
I couldn’t stop thinking about the Oblique Jean Jacket! Especially considering how much it cost compared to some of the pieces slated to release soon.
love the oblique details, and I honestly will wear with the sleeves rolled down just as much as I will have them up.
The price is good, considering the new prices as you said. At least $600 CAD more for something similar?
Congratulations! It looks great on you!
Is New York open yet? I'm excited to get my tee, but I'm afraid it might be too big if it's oversized.
