Logo It bags ruled the early 2000s as the ultimate must-have accessory. And now, one of the decade's most coveted, the Dior saddle bag, is officially making a comeback.
Carried by everyone from Paris Hilton to Carrie Bradshaw and beyond, Dior's ubiquitous saddle bag ruled the early aughts—cementing its status as one of the key looks of the era. Though most often done in Dior's signature logo print, the It bag was offered in a wide array of styles, patterns and colors in its prime.

Now, thanks to the power of influencers and A-listers who've been sporting vintage styles of the bag on Instagram, the fashion house brought the iconic accessory back to the runway for its Fall 2018 show yesterday.
Though the show was mostly marked by its statement-making 1968 protest theme, nestled in the '60s-inspired collection were a few new iterations of the brand's saddle bag. Offered in black leather, the classic Dior logo and a new beaded version, the early 2000s must-have got a fresh makeover for its 2018 comeback.
Vintage styles of the Dior saddle bag have been quickly selling out on luxury resale sites like Vestiaire Collective and The RealReal for the past few months. The bag has been spotted on models like Bella Hadid and Elsa Hosk, along with a rising number of fashion bloggers on Instagram.

Its comeback to the Dior runway proves the power of influencers in the digital age (just in case you weren't already aware of their effect). But while we've already seen some our favorite Instagram It girls wear the bag, it won't fully count until Paris Hilton or Nicole Richie sports the revival trend.
