Dior Men’s Oblique Saddle Bags Get A Ruthenium Upgrade This Spring
The Men’s Spring 2023 collection presents a metallic iteration of the iconic Saddle from the house of Dior
The Oblique Toile remains one of the most distinctive motifs from Dior. First envisioned by Marc Bohan in 1967, the tiling pattern remains chic and classic even 55 years on. Now in 2022, Dior has introduced the Oblique in another new style – with ruthenium-coloured lurex threads.
The silvery-white threads line the Oblique toile, weaving itself into a metallic constellation on items from Dior’s Spring 2023 collection. The cult-favourite Saddle bag takes on the innovation of the precious threads, underscored by the Maison’s heritage as a brand grounded by its house codes. The savoir-faire so quintessential to Dior makes itself known in the intricate details of the Saddle, adding a touch of youth and exuberance to classic luxury design sensibilities.
Iridescent on the Saddle, this luminous thread also finds itself on other Dior offerings: the Dior Lingot and Dior Gallop Bags, small leather goods and the Iconic B23 And B27 Sneakers are spun with ruthenium details. Below, see how the Saddle is carefully constructed with the ruthenium threads, a tribute to Dior’s detailed-oriented savoir-faire.
