Has the Dior Saddle Bag become a new classic?

Four and a half years ago, Dior surprised everyone in the fashion world by announcing the comeback of one of its most popular bags from the early 2000s. Many fashion enthusiasts were thrilled to see the iconic Dior Saddle bag return to the runway.

An icon, revived

The Dior Saddle Bag was a hugely popular and desired bag in the 2000s, often seen with top fashion figures and becoming a significant part of pop culture. When it made its comeback, fans were curious about any changes, but it turned out to look very much like the original. It seemed like the bag had simply been refreshed and brought back to life after being out of the spotlight for over a decade.

It's clear that fashion has recently been embracing vintage styles, and Dior was a leader in this trend with the return of the Saddle Bag. But what does this revival mean for bags that were once trendy? Can these bags from the past become new classics?

The new classics

The definition of a classic is evolving and becoming less clear-cut. Traditional classic bags that have been popular for decades are no longer the only ones considered timeless. In fashion, a classic is something that remains appealing and relevant over the years. While an iconic bag might represent a specific era, a true classic stays relevant for decades. Personally, I believe the Oblique and leather Saddle Bags (not the seasonal versions) have become staples for the brand and have earned their place as new classics.

What do you think? As popular bags from the past become relevant again, does this mean they have lasting power? Can they be considered new classics?
