When it comes to designer bags that encompass both exquisite style and practicality, Saint Laurent has the formula perfected. Standing as a perennial favourite among both customers and celebrities alike, the house unveils three handbags that have found a place in Saint Laurent’s New Year handbag selection: the mini Jamie 4.3 chain bag, the large LE 5 À 7 supple shoulder bag in light musk and the Niki medium in vintage leather.
Seen on the arm of It-girl Hailey Bieber, the large version of the Jamie 4.3 chain bag looks to be one of her favourites as the supple accessory is often seen as the finishing touch of her iconic model off-duty looks. This season, sling bag lovers would be happy to know that the renowned design has been adapted in a diminutive size.
Fans of Blackpink’s Rosé should also listen up as not only was she also seen carrying the Jamie 4.3 chain bag in the newly introduced mini size, the large LE 5 À 7 supple shoulder bag in the iconic photo of her at Incheon airport is also now being introduced in a new shade of light musk.
Completing the trifecta, the Niki medium bag in vintage leather is the most versatile style as it strikes a perfect balance, offering ample space for your essentials without compromising on the bag’s graceful proportions and the exuding of refined taste. With its slouchy silhouette and aged leather finish, the Niki medium bag is able to be worn in several ways ranging from a crossbody to a staple shoulder bag, or even as a clutch, depending on how you adjust its chain straps. Below, peruse these three statement pieces that embody the essence of Saint Laurent’s timeless allure.
