While the handbag may be on plenty of wishlists, the £3,000 price tag left me searching for an alternative - and River Island has the perfect dupe.This means the high street alternative I am obsessed with, would save shoppers over £3,400 - it's simply a no-brainer.Even if you compared the high street design to the luxury label's Small Saddle Bag, which costs £3,050, it is still a saving of thousands of pounds.
The main difference here is River Island's adjustable long length cross body strap is a fabric texture, instead of continuing the same leather fabric of the top handle, which Dior's designs does and creates a nice unity.Another noticeable difference is River Island's Dior Saddle bag-inspired creation is made from a jacquard fabric with the brand's signature logo woven in.
Having said that, some Dior Saddle bag designs are made from canvas fabric, and emblazoned with Dior's signature logo. I love a pocket when I am shopping for bags, as I like everything to have it's own compartment, so I am pleased to see River Island has maintained this.
