THE Dior Saddle bag is a hugely popular designer staple that so many fashion influencers have been seen sporting over the years. 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. Black RI Monogram Shoulder Bag, £38 River Island's RI Monogram Shoulder Bag looks almost identical to Dior's Saddle Bag with a strap , but it is a fraction of the price.
River Island's sleek design costs £38, while the designer alternative fetches £3,450 . This means the high street alternative I am (quite frankly) obsessed with, would save shoppers over £3,400 - it's simply a no-brainer. Read more in fashion 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.
River Island's RI Monogram Shoulder Bag is available in black and cream colourways, while Dior's design is available in different colours, fabric textures, sizes and prints too. The RI Monogram Saddle Bag features the similar D-shape body, as well as two straps to wear as a handbag, over the shoulder, or across the body, which is also similar to the Dior version. 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.
