STYLE Edit: Saint Laurent’s new bags channel uptown elegance
The brand’s Cabas, Niki, Nolita and Kate handbags offer a seamless transition for all occasions from day to night
Whether you are the company’s corporate guru who needs to stay on point from day to night or a fashion-forward woman, a Saint Laurent handbag might be the perfect accessory this season.
The Uptown Cabas (large in black leather, HK$22,500) is the all-purpose tote and status symbol.
Following the success of Saint Laurent’s Eastside Cabas, this tote marries function with form. The latest Uptown Cabas is offered in creamy, soft calfskin leather, with sturdy leather handles and gold-toned hardware details.
The design is uncluttered yet polished and purposeful. The major compartment is able to hold all manner of things within its generous frame, and it is secured with a two-pull gold-toned zip closing.
The tote offers a seamless transition from day to night with its removable envelope clutch from a dedicated front pocket.
For rock-chic girls, the vintage line Niki offers supple, wrinkled leather and a relaxed frame.
Inspired by Saint Laurent’s Collège handbag range, the visible stitching on the Niki appears more reserved than the Collège’s plumper matelassé or quilt-like stitch.
The Niki’s flat-quilting complements the distressed look, achieved by drum-drying the wrinkled leather for three days until it reaches a semi-matt, deconstructed state.
