Timeless Saint Laurent Bags
Saint Laurent Solferino Satchel Bag
The Saint Laurent Solferino Satchel Bag is my first YSl bag and I am already obsessed. I do have this bag in black patent leather with the idea of having a party bag. The size of the bag is perfect to put a full wallet will minimal items. Or put a compact wallet and a lot of other personal belongings like phone, makeup and car keys which is perfect if you are going to a party.
But this bag also comes in a calfskin, raffia and canvas for summer time. And in other shades including white.
The simple minimalist logo which is also the lock for this bag makes it unique and fun. And the box size is a classic style that you can use for years to come. Because there is no funkiness to this bag.
The adjustable strap can be worn as a crossbody as well as a shoulder bag.

Saint Laurent Manhattan in Box
For all the business women out there who are looking for a bag that does not scream designer but still looks like designer? You met your match with the Saint Laurent Manhattan in Box bag. This bag has the Old Money vibe with no logos and a very small engraved name.
You won’t even notice it! The bag has this briefcase like style and opens up like one with a top handle. No matter how old this bag gets, it going look classy and elegant.
So you can pass it along or even better sell it when ready to upgrade to something else. I love the powerful design with minimal placement of the hardware that just makes it perfect for work.

Saint Laurent LE 57 Hobo Bag
Of all the quilted Saint Laurent bags, the LE 57 Hobo bag looks the best because the quilted leather looks perfect in this design.
The rounded shape of the bag makes it look feminine and effortless and I think this bag in just plain calf leather would not have looked good at all. But in the quilted fabric, it look chic and stands out.
But I like that the hardware is still minimal. Most of the time these styles of bag over compensate the simple design with tons of hardware which makes the bag tacky. But not with this bag.
It looks classy and perfect size for everyday use as well.

Saint Laurent Cassandra Mini Bag
The Saint Laurent Cassandra Mini Bag also comes in the bigger size, but this bag looks best in this size. Top handle bags give you the lady like style and are perfect for formal occasions or events where you want to look polished.
The Cassandra top handle bag will give you exactly that. I love that you cannot see any other hardware except for the logo which is the classic YSL logo and really sort after.
Along with the top handle this bag also comes with a long adjustable crossbody strap. You can wear it however you like.
That is why I love this versatile bag. But the design is simple yet timeless so you can use this bag year after year.

Saint Laurent Tote Bag
The Saint Laurent Tote Bag is my go to work and travel bag that looks great with my Monos carry on suitcase. But this tote bag looks great in all shades actually. So, you can pick your favorite style.
There are two key reasons I love this bag for work. You can barely see the logo unless someone is paying really close attention. This way I am not conscious that I am using luxury product.
And the long strap that allows me to carry this bag on my shoulder even after stuffing it. Check out my complete review of the tote bag and best places you can shop it.
