Transcript
So I had the exact same experience as this creator when I got my Dior saddle bag. But I've discovered there's a little bit of a secret trick to it. So let me explain it. So basically, when you first get this bag, it is really awkward and it feels like you can't fit anything into it. Like I was struggling to fit my phone and my Invisalign case side-by-side. That felt ridiculous and you have this immediate regret. You're like, what have I done? But the reason for that is the leather on this bag is quite different to the leather I have on like other bags. Like for example, if you were to compare say the leather on this bag to this one, this feels almost like twice as thick. And as a result of that, it's very stiff and feels like it's not malleable in any way. And you kind of look at it and you're like, well, there's all this space, but you can't really access it. But the secret or the trick to it is is that it just needs to soften up. And the way that it'll do that is the more you use it. So the more you use it, the more it will soften and it will expand. And it went from I could hardly fit these two to now it feels like a Mary Poppins bag where I can, you know, store and pull things out of anytime. And I just really wish they had explained this when you buy it because I feel like it's a universal experience we all have where we're like, what have I done? Now, the other thing this creator mentioned was the fact that it comes with this long strap, right? And I could totally imagine wearing this for long periods of time. It would be incredibly uncomfortable. It would totally dig in because as I mentioned, it is a sturdier, heavier bag. But I just so happen to have fallen in love with this strap. So I had purchased this and it has made a world of difference. It's so much more comfortable to wear. Now, I know what you're going to say. You're going to be like, well, that's an additional expense. So, but hear me out because you can totally go on my fix. First of all, it's reversible, so it's kind of like two straps in one. And the thing is, because it's so comfortable, you're more inclined to wear the bag and use the bag. And the more you use the bag, the more it softens up and the more it fits and the more versatile it becomes. So it is now my number one or number two go-to bag in my collection. So for that, I think it's worth it. I don't even know if I'd call that girl math. I think that's just being a genius.
