The modern vintage trend continues with the youthful sling bag.

The Bobby comes in three sizes (S, M and L) and with extendable straps, in four colourways (black, white and camel leather, and blue Dior Oblique canvas), from $4,600.

The modern vintage trend continues with the youthful sling bag. We love how it’s casual and cool yet classic all at once, making it truly the hit of the season – especially these ones from Dior and Louis Vuitton that come in a sturdier shape, decorated with the houses’ logos and tinged with shades of ’70s hippie vibe.

The former’s Bobby bag, named after the late Monsieur Dior’s beloved canine companion, features a rigid saddle shape with the brand’s signature “CD” logo and a distinctive buckle on the front, as well as an extendable strap with snap hooks that reminds us of a dog leash.

The LV Pont 9 comes in one size and five colours (black, white, orange, blue and pink), $5,350.

Meanwhile, Louis Vuitton’s LV Pont 9 bag recalls the name of the bridge that connects the brand’s Paris headquarters with the Left Bank area, famous for its youngster crowd. It comes in an oblong shape accented by a modern interpretation of an archival logo.
