Story

Galliano's 2000 Saddle was the It-bag blueprint — an equestrian curve with a dangling D — and its 2018 revival under Maria Grazia Chiuri proved the shape was permanent. The plain grained calfskin in biscuit is the grown-up version: no Oblique print, all silhouette.

Authentication checklist

1. The asymmetric flap curve is hard to copy — it should sit flush with no gap at the point
2. CD side links are substantial and engraved; the D charm hangs from the flap strap

Care notes

Grained leather is the workhorse finish: wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth, let it dry away from heat, and condition sparingly — over-conditioning darkens grained calfskin. Store the bag stuffed with acid-free paper, upright in its dust bag (not its box — leather needs airflow), away from direct sun and heat. Rest chains and hardware against a soft cloth so metal never presses into light leather for a season. Carry it in rotation rather than entombing it: leather that is aired, carried occasionally, and re-stuffed ages far better than leather stored untouched for years.
