Bolsas Saint Laurent

The modern Saint Laurent bag begins in 2012, when Hedi Slimane rebranded the house and introduced the Sac de Jour in 2013 — a structured tote that became the Vaccarello-era icon. JoliCloset stocks 2,182 authenticated pre-owned Saint Laurent bags, from $100 for small leather goods to $6,000 for exotic editions. Average price sits at $1,200.

Must-know models

The Cassandra (95 pieces in stock) is the structured top-handle with frontal YSL monogram — Vaccarello, 2020. The Sac de Jour (75 pieces) remains the Slimane signature: box calf, central band, padlock. The Sunset (37 pieces) is the everyday crossbody with the front Cassandre flap. The Niki (29 pieces) plays the vintage card with worn-effect leather and chevron quilting. Loulou (Y-quilting) and Kate (tassel) round out the bestseller quartet.

Available sub-categories

The catalogue splits into handbags (1,457 pieces — shoulder, crossbody, top-handle), clutches (235 pieces — evening clutches and oversized pouches), wallets (229 pieces) and totes (119 pieces — canvas Shopping, Cabas Rive Gauche). Backpacks and travel bags complete the offer for frequent flyers.

Leathers and materials to know

The Y-grained calf (Loulou and Cassandra) handles daily wear better than smooth lambskin. Box calf (Sac de Jour) keeps its rigid silhouette even after years of use. The vintage-effect leather of the Niki is designed to patina; wear marks belong to the design. Suede, embossed croco, python and Monogram canvas rotate seasonally.

Buying secondhand: price and value

A new Loulou Medium retails above $2,800 in boutique; on the secondhand market it lands between $1,200 and $1,900. The Sac de Jour Medium drops from $3,500 new to around $1,500 in very good condition. Discontinued pieces and limited seasonal colours tend to appreciate, especially Slimane-era 2012-2016 editions.
