First off, Saint Laurent – or YSL, let’s be real, we all still call it that – is just *chef’s kiss*. They’ve got this vibe, you know? Effortless chic, a little bit rock and roll, a whole lotta “I’m too cool for this, but I look amazing.” And a big part of that vibe is their handbags.
You can totally find, like, canvas tote bags, for a beach day. YSL Rive Gauche gives the French Riveria. A cool statement, if you ask me.
Okay, so what makes a YSL bag *a YSL bag*? I think it’s the details. That monogram, obviously. That iconic YSL plaque is like a secret handshake in the fashion world. And the materials! Patent leather that gleams like it’s been kissed by the sun, quilted leather that just screams luxury, even croc-embossed stuff for when you’re feeling a little extra. You can find them on FARFETCH paired with a wallet, but you can find a cheaper version on Nordstrom. Just saying.
And the styles… oh man, the styles. From the Puffer Handbags Collection (which, side note, who knew “puffer” could be so darn stylish?) to…well, whatever Hailey Bieber is rocking (because let’s face it, she influences *everything*). I’ve even seen some Saint Laurent Outlet stores that have killer deals, but you gotta hunt for them.
Honestly, choosing the “best” YSL bag of all time is impossible. It’s like trying to pick your favorite child (if you had a bunch of ridiculously expensive, leather-clad children). Some are classics, total heritage carry-alls that will never go out of style. Others are more trendy, the “it” bags of the moment.
But here’s the thing, and this is just my opinion, okay? A YSL bag is more than just a bag. It’s an investment. It’s a statement. It’s a little piece of luxury that you can carry around with you. It might even be a really cute wallet. And let’s be honest, who *doesn’t* want a little piece of that? Plus, Nordstrom has free shipping!
