This Christian Dior Cadillac Montaigne Saddle bag carries Galliano’s Spring 2001 obsession with his own vintage car down to the smallest detail. A metal plate on the front reads “Chris 1947 Montaigne,” the two numbers referencing the year Dior showed his first collection and the street the house still sits on. Quilted white leather meets strawberry red patent panels, with a red reflector detail standing in for a taillight. We think the license plate is the whole reason this bag still gets chased two decades later, a joke specific enough that it reads as couture rather than kitsch. Saddle silhouette, top zip closure, and a thin looping shoulder strap round it out. Trailer trash collection.
