Baby Niki Shoulder Bag

The Niki bag is a relatively new addition to Saint Laurent's accessory repertoire, but it's wasted no time in earning its status as a modern classic. Although unsurprisingly punctuated with the iconic ysl monogram - sitting in its usual position to the front flap - this accessory diverts from expectations in terms of the chosen materiality. Note how its subtle crinkled leather construction bridges the gap between vintage and contemporary.

Yves Saint Laurent was the first couture house to introduce the concept of luxury ready-to-wear. Today, the iconic label is fronted by Anthony Vaccarello, who aims to explore Saint Laurent’s early years through his creations.
