I finally got the CD1 shoes. Been wanting them to match my gradient Saddle and Rimowa, as well as the nylon Saddle belt bag in light blue that I recently acquired from my brother. Was tempted to buy them full priced twice, at least, and am glad I waited.

I also got the classic CD Icon T-shirt (my first one), and also the reversible Harrington blouson jacket in navy and Oblique. I love the jacket. It is so easy to wear! Excuse how sloppy my staging is. I was too excited to open the bag.

oh thats good to know! im based in europe so that wouldnt save me a lot, what would you suggest would be the best way to hunt one down? i only have a dior womens store in my country unfortunately
You could check the Dior site for availability if the country you're in has a national site. This piece seems to be gone from the France site. It's currently available on 24s in size 48 though https://www.24s.com/fr-fr/bomber-dior-and-judy-blame-dior_DIOFEC9YBLUME04800 .

Based on what the Canadians are saying here, it seems much easier to get Dior men on sale in Canada than the stores I go to in Europe :nuts: There was quite a lot of stuff on sale this summer, and it might be a similar situation this winter because of covid, but if you really want this jacket, I would go for it. I've never seen Dior on sale online.

Has anyone saw or got any info on the soft saddle bag in small or mini size (don’t know if it even exists). I saw someone has posted it in IG modeling it but I can’t locate the photo again.

Do you mean the soft Saddle hobo bag? If so, then it does come in a size smaller than the main model (which is quite large). In Canada, the bag was ~$3150 for the Oblique, if I'm not mistaken.

They also have this new version of the Saddle coming out, which looks larger and softer than the original.

Thank you Aj, I wish I can find more info on the Soft Saddle as the main model is too big. The one I saw on IG seems small size like a mini Lindy which is tempting.

I do like this soft Saddle hobo, but I still prefer the original Kim Jones/Matthew Williams Saddle. I like it so much that I now have two of them, and at one point was contemplating a third in the smooth brown leather for Winter 2020 but couldn't justify a third one.

Is this the mini sac saddle you are referring to? It’s definitely smaller than the original size.

I finally managed to find the photo. I think this is a soft saddle bag?! But the size seems small though.

Hi,

I've been a long time lurker here and was hoping to get an opinion for which bag should I get. I currently have the Dior and Rimowa clutch in silver (probably my favourite bag ever at the moment!) and the pouch with strap in the newspaper print (such a cute piece).

I've been eyeing the Elite Messenger Pouch but I haven't seen any reviews about it online. Just wondering if anyone has seen it in person or owns it. I like that it can be worn over the shoulder or crossbody like a belt bag.

I've also thought about getting the saddle bag because, well it's iconic at this point. I want to get it in the black grained calfskin so it can go well with most of my outfits, but just wondering if it just seems too simple in design. With the saddle bag too, I've been hearing mixed opinions, some people liking the style and silhouette while others don't.

Any thoughts would be appreciated ! :)

Wow superb pieces! Thanks for sharing. A couple of questions, if you don’t mind my asking, do Dior pieces go on sale? Also how do you get free gift from Dior? Longtime buyer? Would you mind sharing your SA contact? Also from Vancouver.
Dior pieces go on sale twice a year, but doesn't usually include any women's bags. It's mostly shoes, RTW, and costume jewelry with some SLGs potentially.

To get a free gift from any brand, I think you have to show that you want to continue purchasing from a brand, rather than a one-time purchase.

For the Vancouver location, I recommend Kenny. You can find him on Instagram as @kenny.diorhotelvan.

Somehow I missed your post. I think you should go with the Saddle. It is their iconic style, as you said, and I love it so much I have 2 now.

The other bag has a flaw in the design where the strap pulls up on the flap, so over time, the edges of the flap where the strap pulls on will curl up. Unless you only use it as a belt bag (and I think it may be too structured for a belt bag), go with the Saddle.
