Homage / The Saddle / Est. 1999
Live obsession
SADDLE
Not a purse. A posture.
Shaped like an equestrian saddle. Tucked under the arm like a secret. Worn by every It-girl who ever lived. This is a fan letter, screamed at full volume.

Anatomy of an obsession
Poke the bag. It likes it.
Part of the legend
The D
It dangles. It swings. It decides. The single most self-confident letter in the entire alphabet.
Fantasy colourways
Imagined, not sold. Hover to make them lose their minds a little.
Want!!!Disco Kidney
Ten thousand sequins. Zero regrets.
Want!!!Liquid Metal
Reflects your face. Judges it slightly.
Want!!!Patent Panic
So shiny it has its own weather.
Manifesto
- It's not a bag.
- It's a posture.
- It's an armpit accessory.
- It's a kidney with a mortgage.
- It's 1999 forever.
Under the arm. Always.
A brief, hysterical history
1999
Galliano drops it.
A bag shaped like a horse saddle walks the Spring/Summer 2000 runway. The fashion world collectively forgets how to breathe.
2000s
Every It-girl. Every armpit.
Carrie Bradshaw carries one. Paris Hilton carries one. The paparazzi flash never stops. Neither does the waitlist.
2018
The comeback.
Maria Grazia Chiuri resurrects it and the internet loses its mind all over again. Some icons refuse to stay retired.
MAXIMUM SADDLE
Seriously. Do not.
