Return of the Saddle Bag

Its been awhile, I know. Still recovering from Halloween but don’t you fret you little fringe necklaces, Darren is back in black to teach you little trendy hoes something.

Kim Jones splash at Dior (now Dior Men) this summer left a lot to be thought about. The Saddle Bag is back bitch. In a huge way. And since its 2018, its for dudes and chicks and anyone who identifies as anything other than a seasick kangaroo. Maria Grazia Chiuri originally brought it back to grace in her Fall Runway 2018 collection and people lost their shit. Was the 90’s/early 2000’s really back? Incidentally this was the same season she really brought out her market tote which still BODIES most other designer bags. More on that later.

Anyways. So people are losing their shit, but are obviously still freaking out over Gucci and Balenciaga and whatever other bullshit Demna Gvasalia has half assed. Fast forward to this summer, you have Virgils historic debut at Louis Vuitton, then Kim Jones’ first show. Unheard of before, he brings in two other designers to collaborate with him, ON HIS OWN LINE. He even takes his bow with one of them (Yoon, who has just teased her new collection with NIKE). He decided to bring out his own version of the Saddle Bag, drippin in the syrup that only the man who introduced Supreme to the runway could do. He styled them as belts and tiny gunslinger cases, but everyone knows these are really meant to be one thing, clout packs. Packs full of clout. You cant even put anything in them, they are too full of clout. Clout Clout Clout

The Coup De Grace was Matthew Williams (who designed the special C-D buckles) teasing this possibly one of one bag on his car seat a week after the show, showing just how masculine an overly expensive leather fanny pack can really look/

You bet your sweet ass that everyone who is anyone is going to be wearing at least five of these.
