Saint Laurent uses black to embody elegance, sensuality, and rebellion, which adapts to all seasons.
Swatched in the inky black, the Downtown Tote Bag, Large Duffle Bag, and the iconic Niki Messenger Bagare canvases that harmonise with any ensemble. It is undeniably chic and lends a gothic undertone that infuses a mysterious attitude. Hue may be uniform in the trio of bags, but the synthesis of aesthetics, functionality, and consciousness are distinct from each bag in the house’s new collection.
The Downtown Tote Bag’s substantial size is a proclamation of preparedness for any occasion — its Downtown namesake evokes the hustle and bustle of an urban life, where the city’s pulse beats the strongest. The bag — designed with expandable zip sides and adjustable buckles — makes it the quintessential companion to hold all of one’s logistics while commuting through the rhythm of the metropolis.
The Large Duffle Bag does the same. Though its design may not stand out, the embroidered Saint Laurent signature stretching horizontally across the bag’s expanse makes its presence known. The opulence of these bags is never understated, and neither do their functions — the bag’s adjustable and removable shoulder straps make it suitable for travel, sports, and recreation. With a maturation towards a more conscientious and responsible fashion narrative, the iconic Niki Messenger bag is a nod to sustainability and innovation.
