Poster artist Cassandre developed SAINT LAURENT's 'YSL' logo in 1961, and the lettering is still so modern and Saint Laurent Handbags elegant today. Crafted in Italy from croc-effect patent-leather, this 'Kate' bag is embellished with the iconic monogram plaque and a swishy gold tassel. It's fitted with six card slots, slip and zipped pockets and enough room for your phone.

After completing his military service in 1962, Yves Saint-Laurent, now supported by Pierre Berge - a business man who would become his lifelong partner - decided to manage his own couture house. His style which can be defined as an homage to tradition linked to a passion for the future, was marked by a very individual use of line and colour which often made reference to contemporary art and the Saint Laurent Handbag Sale mood of the time. Yves Saint-Laurent was a designer who preferred to please women with clothes adapted to their movements and their new responsibilities rather than dazzle with the extravagance of an egocentric style.

The shoulder strap on this bag is detachable, so you can even carry it as a clutch. This bag comes in medium, small, and the uber-tiny-mini, although a lot of the styles are currently sold out, proving that it's a real It-bag. See if you can still find one at YSL or Farfetch.
