Dior Saddle Bag Pouch in Diorissimo Canvas

This item is a vintage Christian Dior Saddle Bag Pouch, recognizable by its iconic asymmetrical saddle-shaped silhouette, though only a portion of the bag is visible. It features the classic Diorissimo canvas in a brown and beige colorway, characterized by the repeating 'CD' monogram pattern woven into the fabric. The material appears to be a jacquard canvas, known for its durability and intricate design. The trim and piping along the edges, particularly visible at the bottom and sides, are made of natural tan Vachetta leather, which shows some light patina consistent with age and use, but no significant wear or damage is immediately apparent. The hardware visible includes a silver-tone zipper pull shaped like the interlocking 'CD' initials, which is attached to a small tan leather tab. The main zipper also features a silver-tone pull. On the top left, a larger silver-tone metal D-ring or buckle is visible, indicating where a shoulder strap would attach, further affirming the presence of quality hardware. The stitching throughout the bag appears neat and even, suggesting good craftsmanship typically associated with luxury brands like Dior. The bag's construction seems sturdy, maintaining its shape. The overall condition appears to be good to very good, with no obvious signs of major rips, tears, or heavy staining on the canvas. The estimated age of this piece would likely be late 1990s to early 2000s, a period when the Diorissimo canvas and Saddle Bag design were extremely popular and iconic for the brand, under the creative direction of John Galliano. The style is distinctly Y2K fashion.
