Q: What makes the Christian Dior Ornamental Embroidered Saddle Bag distinctive?
A: This bag combines Dior’s curved Saddle silhouette with decorative ornamental embroidery on black canvas and aged gold-tone hardware. The embroidered surface gives it a textured finish distinct from a plain leather Saddle bag.

Q: What can I fit inside this Saddle bag?
A: It is best suited to a compact selection of essentials, such as a phone, card holder, keys and lipstick.

Please confirm the fit of your particular phone and case if this is important to you.

If you would like to add one for crossbody wear, please confirm the attachment points and compatibility of this particular bag before purchasing a strap.

Q: How should I care for the embroidered canvas?
