Question 1

How can I authenticate a Dior Saddle bag?

Accepted Answer

Begin with the D charm hanging from the flap: on Galliano-era bags it is engraved "CD" with pointed serifs, while on Chiuri-era reissues it is not engraved and shows rounded serifs. Genuine hardware is heavy and deeply engraved, never printed or flimsy. Also check the alignment of the Oblique canvas at the curved seam and the even stitching along the arc. At Old Fashioned Club, every bag is authenticated by our experts and supplied with a certificate of authenticity.

Question 2

What determines the price of a pre-owned Saddle?

Accepted Answer

Value depends on the era (Galliano-era vintage or recent reissue), the material (Oblique canvas, leather, embroidered or rare versions), the colour, the overall condition and the presence of original accessories such as the strap and dust bag. Rather than a fixed figure, our experts assess each bag individually against these criteria.

Question 3

What is the difference between the original Saddle and the 2018 reissue?

Accepted Answer

The original, designed by John Galliano and shown for Spring/Summer 2000, has a short shoulder strap and a D charm engraved "CD". The 2018 reissue, under Maria Grazia Chiuri, adds a removable strap for crossbody wear, revised proportions and an unengraved D charm with rounded serifs, alongside a refreshed Oblique canvas.

Question 4

How should I care for a Dior Saddle bag?

Accepted Answer

Store it in its dust bag away from light and humidity, and avoid prolonged contact with surfaces that may transfer colour. For Oblique canvas, a soft dry cloth is usually enough; for leather, use suitable products applied sparingly. Handle the hardware with care to preserve its shine. When in doubt, ask our team for advice.
