Remember when you were younger and all the celebs seemed to be carrying Dior's iconic logo saddle bag? Who'd have thought we'd be right back where we started in 2019?
The classic bag was on everyone's wishlist, and that was cemented further when Carrie Bradshaw (aka Sarah Jessica Parker in Sex and the City) wore one, too.
You probably thought that this noughties trend was dead and buried along with Sex and the City (RIP) but you were wrong!
2018 was The Year Of The Saddle Bag (unofficially) and every online influencer suddenly seemed to have their hands on one. But while some may have been lucky enough to invest in the classic designer bag, many of us just couldn't stretch to the £1,700 price tag (and that's for the mini - full-size is £2,100).
Luckily, ASOS have our back. They've created a version of the design in a cool pink and red colourway - for just £20. So that's at least £1,680 cheaper than the original.
The move comes after a number of celebs and fashion influencers have been wearing vintage styles of the bags and posting the pics on Instagram. Dior saddle bags have since been snapped up from luxury second-hand websites.
If you can't afford a brand new design by Dior, you can still find some second-hand options on Rebelle and other resale sites. Just make sure you're buying the real deal!
With tracksuits already back, we're wondering what other noughties trends we can look forward to wearing again. Disc belts? Denim cargo trousers? We'll have to wait and see...
