Chanced upon this mini saddle tote from fw2019 collection at a good price. Anyone else with this bag? Care to share your thoughts? I already have the saddle mini backpack in navy and I’m looking to add more Dior to my collection.

Hehehe, I got myself another Dior RTW piece!
I got the terrycloth Oblique tee in bleu marine. I think it’s a gorgeous piece, and versatile enough for me to wear from spring to autumn. I was deciding between the bleu marine and the white, but felt that 1) I already have the oblique Devore tee in white and b) it would be so much harder to maintain the tee in white.
can’t wait to wear this out!
Everyone's recent finds have been so awesome to see! I was trying to resist shopping for a while, but went to the boutique today just expecting to have a browse. Didn't realise the sales were still on (apparently today is the last day) and ended up with my first Dior RTW pieces. Thrilled with these, particularly the coat at such a fantastic discount. Am getting the coat altered slightly so can't wait to see the final results!

Congratulations! This is a versatile piece indeed, and is made of a unique fabric for T-shirts.Hehehe, I got myself another Dior RTW piece!

Wow! Congratulations on your first Dior RTW pieces! I didn't even see the coat on sale here in Toronto. Looks amazing!
Is this on sale at Dior, or is it through resale?
If it is through resale and authentic, then I definitely suggest getting this. It's adorable and great for those times when you don't want to carry much except your phone, keys, and something extra.
That‘s what I noticed as well. My first boy bag was 4980€ (for comparison the book tote was 2200€) and it felt crazy to me spending that much on a bag. But now I kinda got used to it, even bought a Constance in the Hermès boutique on a whim which is even crazier.
I try to rationalize it by saying that Chanel and Hermès keep their value pretty well so it doesn’t feel like a waste of money.
That being sad, I‘m a weak human being. I have an oblique belt bag from the women‘s collection coming to me.
Ooo! I love that belt bag! Modelling shots, when you receive it, please!
Chanel prices are not what I want to get used to. Hermes is even higher. I saw your Constance on the Hermes forum. Congratulations! It's a beautiful and hard to find bag!
All these high prices make Gucci look like a contemporary brand in comparison.

In my opinion, no one should get used to these prices since its crazy to spend that much on a purse. That‘s why I tried to tick off the classics I‘m into from the list and then move on. And I agree that Gucci appears to be a steal compared to Chanel and Hermes. Surprisingly Gucci RTW is quite expensive. It‘s just that their bags are relatively fairly priced.
I‘ll post some model shots for sure! I suspect that the strap will be too short but let‘s see...
The crazy rtw prices at Gucci are a fairly recent thing. You used to be able to get a sport jacket for 2-3k usd and now they are far more expensive and the fabrics are awful.
Maybe they priced them high so that they look like they are a great deal when they eventually go to the outlet and get discounted.
I did notice their RTW is pricier. They just have a lot more entry-level priced bags for men.
Wore my new acquisition out to brunch today! I’m so happy with this piece, it’s so comfortable!
Resale. I tried comparing the details on my backpack to the bag and it looks good to me. I also asked help from the authenticate thread and waiting for their feedback. I’m adding the photos here if anyone can chime in.
