"Yves Saint Laurent"

00's–10's Structured Leather Shoulder Bag

Since our founding in 1961, Yves Saint Laurent has continued to redefine elegance and an independent image of women in fashion. We are pleased to introduce this exceptional piece featuring a structured design.

With its square-leaning silhouette and flap, this bag’s distinctive look—crafted by combining a vertical belt-like detail on the front with circular hardware—beautifully balances the classic refinement unique to the YSL era with practical functionality.

The exterior appears to be made in brown leather with a pebbled grain texture, and its deep color tone—from camel to cognac brown—blends calmly with antique gold-toned hardware. The result is a tasteful vintage mood that doesn’t lean too far into extravagance.

At the top, it is designed with a handle that is easy to carry by hand. By pairing it with the shoulder strap, it also supports shoulder carrying. This creates a well-balanced piece that preserves the neatness of a classic handbag while naturally accompanying your everyday movements.

The front flap gives the entire bag a composed center of gravity, and the belt detailing placed on both sides emphasizes vertical lines, presenting a tidy look to the three-dimensional box silhouette with an appropriately sized gusset. The circular hardware at the center acts as a discreet accent, tightening the overall impression.

The interior features a fabric lining in a camel-to-brown tone, and the zipper pull is stamped with a YSL Cassandre logo within a frame. You can appreciate the Maison’s aesthetic not only in the rich expression of the leather on the outside, but also in the fine details you notice when you pick it up.

In terms of period, there are the YSL logo stamping on the zipper pull, the structured form with a flap, and—along with the belt detailing and circular hardware design that align with the Muse Two series. Additionally, since no new care tags with QR codes or URLs can be seen in the images, it can be understood as an individual from the Yves Saint Laurent listing era, circa 2008 to 2012.

With a presence true to the YSL era—before the brand name transitioned to Saint Laurent Paris around 2012—this piece also offers the appeal of capturing the refined yet lifestyle-friendly luxury atmosphere from the time when Stefano Pilati led the Maison’s creative direction.

We especially recommend it for those who want to incorporate a brown leather bag not as mere basic carry, but as a main piece that adds depth to an outfit. Pair it with a jacket or long coat for an urban classic look, or style it with denim or knitwear for a subtly relaxed, high-quality everyday ensemble.

It’s a bag that will stay by your side for a long time—something for those who love a composed form that is not easily swayed by trends, and the leather’s character that deepens with age. Please take this opportunity.
