Though the idea of fashion repeating itself is nothing new, the past year has felt like a true time machine of trends. Think about it: With styles ranging from the prairie girl aesthetic of the ‘60s and ‘70s to the bold silhouettes and colors of the ‘80s, the fashion world has become a melting pot of decades. And among the accessories, there’s been an undeniable resurgence of the early aughts, which was due in part to the reintroduction of Dior’s iconic Saddle Bag. If you happened to be one of those who fell in love with the bag’s initial return, chances are you’re going to obsess over Dior’s new Saddle Bag in embroidered denim.

It’s been a little over a year since Dior brought its Saddle Bag, which originally made an appearance in the brand's Spring/Summer 2000 show, back into the limelight. Like it did in the past, the now-revamped handbag has taken the fashion world by storm with a variety of options to choose from — the latest featuring embroidered denim. Launching just in time for the beginning of fall, this new style is a denim version of the French fashion house’s iconic Dior Oblique print, giving the logo trend a new look for the season.

Dior’s embroidered denim Saddle Bag — which debuted at the label's Fall/Winter 2019 fashion show — is set to launch Sept. 5 on the brand’s website. And if you want to make this bag truly yours, you’ll have the opportunity to get it personalized with your initials in select Dior boutiques.

Dior’s creative director, Maria Grazia Chiuri, aimed to give the newest version of the luxury label’s bag a washed and worn-in appeal. With that in mind, the outfit ideas are virtually endless — especially considering the versatility of denim. Carry it with you when you’re wearing simple basics, such as light-wash jeans and a T-shirt. Or, let it be the hero piece of your ensemble and wear it with a cream blouse and beige trousers for a look of casual polish.

If you’re ready to make Dior’s denim embroidered Saddle Bag the newest part of your accessories collection, be sure to mark your calendars for Sept. 5 and then head over to Dior's site to add it into your wardrobe. Without a doubt, it’ll instantly become your go-to for everyday occasions.
