Dior Saddle Bags

Get Classy with Dior Women's Handbags

There are few brands as classic and timeless as Dior - and now, thanks to eBay, you can enjoy your very own Dior handbag. Check out the selection of Dior saddle bags, purses, and totes, and choose one that fits your lifestyle. From classic leather to the brand's very own oblique canvas, you're sure to find something that will make every day a special occasion.

The Dior saddle bag is one of the most sought-after designs from this brand. Before you spend your money, it pays to make sure that you know you're buying the real thing. Here are some tips to ensure that your Dior saddle bag is the real deal.

• Inspect the gold hardware. The classic CD charms that you'll find on every saddle bag are bright and gleaming. On a fake, they're often dull.
• Always check the stitching. This is key for all designer women's handbags. Stitching should be neat and even all the way around, with the same thickness throughout.
• Take a look at the zipper on the internal pocket. It should have a slender leather tab attached to the pull.
• Look at the inside label. It should say "Christian Dior Paris Made in Italy", and be neatly stitched all the way around.

The saddle bag is, perhaps, the most iconic Christian Dior handbag - and the good news is that you can choose from different styles and materials to suit you. The leather saddle bag is made from high-quality calfskin, with a smooth grain to it. However, you can also choose a non-leather version. There are various embroidered canvas options available. The most famous use the Dior oblique canvas, with the brand's famous all-over print, and is more eye-catching, making it a good choice for a statement bag.

A Dior tote bag is a more casual, relaxed alternative to a saddle bag. Use it for your daily shopping to make a stylish statement. Look for a tote with a comfortable shoulder strap that will be easy to carry, or alternatively choose one with small handles to carry in your hand. For a really classy look, why not go for a Dior handbag in quilted leather? It's a traditional style that looks great in corporate environments.

The oblique canvas design is top of the list if you want to make a statement. If not, look for a classic solid color. This is an investment piece, so you're better off choosing a color that goes with plenty of clothes in your wardrobe, so you can get the most use possible out of your Dior handbag.
