Christian Dior by John Galliano — “China” 10th Anniversary Limited Edition Saddle Bag (2006) (Price Upon Request)
Created to celebrate John Galliano’s ten-year anniversary at Dior, this limited-edition Saddle Bag was part of a global capsule that reimagined the house’s most iconic design through twelve cultural lenses. Only 100 “China” editions were ever produced, making each one a true collector’s piece of Dior history.
This design pays homage to the splendour and symbolism of Chinese art — crafted in gleaming metallic copper and gold satin, intricately embroidered with a golden dragon motif representing power, transformation, and good fortune. The piece is finished with bronzed and jade-toned hardware and Galliano’s signature oversized “D” dragon charm, echoing the theatrical opulence of his Dior runways.
An extraordinary example of craftsmanship and storytelling, the “China” Saddle embodies the fantasy, cultural fusion, and audacious spirit that defined Galliano’s most celebrated era at Dior.
