Dior Saddle

I’ve always wanted a special handbag and I’ve finally got the money to be able to buy one. For ages I wanted a Chanel bag but I’ve lost my love for them. I love the Dior saddle bag - black with black hardware. But is it too young for me? I’m 54. I’m not sure if I should get it. I’ve seen it and I think it’s stunning.
I just don’t know.

Of course it’s not too young for you. It’s a plain black handbag. Besides, how can a bag be too young for anyone?
If you like it and can afford it, buy it! Don’t worry what anyone else thinks. It’s your bag.

Yes you’re right. Menopause has made me lack the most basic confidence.

Even if it was Barbie pink with glitters, you could still wear it. Fashion has no age limit and if you like it, buy it, enjoy it.

Besides I doubt many young people, myself included, can afford this bag unless they have a very high flying career at a young age or can save up a sufficient amount of money to spend on a bag. Once I no longer have to spend a big chunk of the family income on school fees, I will get a Lady Dior.

The Lady Dior is stunning.

Lovely bag n agree with pp , nothing to do with your age. It will look classy.

I loved mine and am 51. It was a vintage however so they are harder to hold as the strap is quite thick and I missed being able to wear crossbody which you might be able to with a newer one depending on the model.

I sold it on on Friday but I have some
Lovely bags anyway - buy it, if you love it age doesn't matter.

That sounds stunning. I think they come with a cross body strap now. I’m going to investigate.
