Given our collective interest in the great outdoors over the past year, it’s no wonder designers are embracing the classic silhouette of the saddlebag. Although originally inspired by the equestrian staple, they’re being reinvented with unique design details and bright colors in buttery leathers. Italian brand Fendi introduced one of the bolder takes on the shape in spring with the $2,100 Moonlight bag in bright yellow.
