You can never go wrong with a good ol’ black bag, especially when it’s larger than life – quite literally. Enter Saint Laurent’s freshest family member, the rebellious big sister: The Saint Laurent ICare Maxi Shopping Bag. Crafted from the finest lambskin leather with signature YSL carré-quilted overstitching and with a vintage, aristocratic silhouette, this superlative super-shopper is overflowing with attitude and oozing highly audacious upper-crust glamour. The bag also comes fitted with a brass sculpted YSL monogram ornamenting the upholstery and a delicate toggle clasp in the same radiant alloy. Large enough for any and every need, this luxury carryall can do just that: carry it all – but there’s also a removable zip-up pouch on the bag’s interior just in case you’re in need of some multidimensional organisational space or a little something to keep your cash, cards and keys in – and it’s oh so chic.
With a certain toughness and resilience to the nifty carrier, it causes its wearer to radiate confidence. It comes as no surprise, then, that a whole slew of fan-favourite VIP’s have been spotted sporting the supersized shopper. From the likes of Hailey Beiber, Miley Cyrus and Zoe Kravitz to supermodels like Rosie Huntington Whiteley and cinematic enigmas like Angelina Jolie, the tried-and-true ICare Maxi Shopping Bag is set to dominate the streets. Clearly, Saint Laurent creative director Anthony Vaccarello has an eye for sophisticated versatility.
Deliciously Français in every sense of the word, Saint Laurent’s brand new bag is absolutely A1. Never has any kind of arm candy ever looked so mmm, mmm good.
