Rare Vintage Dior Saddle Bag with Yellow Croc-Embossed and Gold Hardware

Rare Vintage Christian Dior Saddle Bag from the 2001 John Galliano era. An incredibly unique collector's piece featuring green crocodile-embossed leather with a beautiful metallic sheen that shifts between olive green, gold and bronze depending on the lighting. I love her, but would like to make more space for other bags in my closet and hoping she can go to a new home!😊 The bag itself has yellow leather detailing, gold-tone "CD" connecting hardware, the iconic oversized gold "D" charm, a rear pocket with magnetic closure, gusseted base and flap-top closure. The interior is finished in coordinating yellow fabric with a zip pocket and gold-tone CD zipper pull. Interior leather tag is stamped "MADE IN ITALY - RU 0011." Pinterest will also authenticate for extra measures! The bag remains beautiful and structurally intact vintage condition, with signs of wear consistent with its age. There is visible wear/chipping to areas of the yellow leather trim and closure tabs, along with scratches and signs of use on the gold-tone hardware. Please carefully review all photos, as I have included close-ups of the condition and wear. Approximate dimensions: 11" W ×8"H× 2" D 6" shoulder drop A gorgeous and hard-to-find statement Saddle from the Galliano era, especially striking because of the metallic green crocodile-effect finish and contrasting yellow details. I absolutely love this piece, but being more selective about what works with my personal wardrobe.
