So Dior called today and said my large double saddle gaucho arrived! So I went to South Coast Plaza to pick it up. At first I was somewhat disappointed... In all honesty, the ads in Elle/InStyle/Vogue are VERY misleading in regards to the color of the white bag. It is nowhere near as white as it is seen in magazines. It looks VERY *VERY* antiqued. Like dark chalk. Darker than the ivory paddy. I can't stress how worn it looks.
So I tried on the double saddle, and I was even more disappointed. It just looked ... wrong. The way the front saddle sagged was so unflattering for my body type.
But after my initial shock over the color wore off, I decided to try the medium. Perfect. Having the pocket in the front and the shorter strap makes a world of a difference. I don't know how shorter ppl will take to this bag since it's like a messenger, but I'm around 5'7" and it's fantastic with jeans! I'm very happy.
If you're interested, you should call the Dior boutique in South Coast. Just don't be as taken aback by the color as I was. Goodluck
BTW, I'll post pictures as soon as I can find my digi cam. I'm not sure if I even packed it with me during winter break. Gah! ush:
