We’ll buy every colour. It was one of our favourite pieces from 2018 because it was so versatile. And while every influencer decided to snap one up, we did too because it was handy for going into work and out for drinks at the same time. You know the one, it’s described as, “flowing V-neck […]

In. Actual. Love. We’ve basically seen every celebrity, influencer and blogger with the Dior saddle bag. It was one of the most popular styles of last year and the fashion community nabbed one the minute they went on sale.
