YVES SAINT LAURENT
"YVES SAINT LAURENT" 11'year-12'year Chic Gabas leather bag
Since its founding in 1962, the brand has been known as the king of fashion and continues to fascinate many people.
We would like to introduce a special item from YVES SAINT LAURENT.
This chic Cabas bag features a "Y" buckle, symbolizing the brand's initials, quietly positioned on the front.
The Chic Cabas, which first appeared around 2011 when Stefano Pilati was creative director, is an iconic bag that was created in the short period just before the brand name changed from "Yves Saint Laurent" to "SAINT LAURENT." It is a very significant model that combines the classic Yves Saint Laurent scent with modern minimalism.
While it features the "Yves Saint Laurent" inscription that is unique to the old logo, it also features a bold single "Y" on the front, creating a design that symbolizes the brand's stance towards a new era.
The body is luxuriously crafted from deep brown smooth leather, with natural wrinkles and a subtle sheen on the surface, creating an appealing appearance that develops with use. The top handle has a slightly raised, rounded shape that fits comfortably in your hand or on your shoulder, and the base where it connects to the gold hardware is carefully reinforced with stitching to protect it from stress.
The Y-buckle on the front is made of a plate-shaped gold part with just the right thickness, giving it a somewhat architectural presence without being too sharp.The structure that opens and closes through the leather strap is a visual accent, but also serves the practical purpose of naturally keeping the flap from opening too far.
There are zippers on the sides that expand the gusset, and the silhouette can be easily changed depending on the amount of luggage you have, so this model has added value in that it can be flexibly used for everything from everyday use to short trips.
The interior is a single-compartment structure with a lining in a muted tone, and there is a wide space that extends all the way to the bottom, so you can store bulky items such as a laptop, documents, and clothes all together, and the side is equipped with pockets that make it easy to organize small items, so you can neatly store keys, card cases, etc. It is a design that keeps visible decoration to a minimum, while subtly supporting the functions necessary for daily life inside, which can be said to be part of the "intelligence" of this bag.
From the perspective of the brand's history, the Chic Cabas also holds a special place. Many of Yves Saint Laurent's collections under Stefano Pilati were filled with a sensual yet intellectual mood, and this bag is a perfect embodiment of that atmosphere. By layering the modern Y signature on top of the classic tote structure, it embodies the concept of a "luxury bag that is also rooted in everyday life" at a high level.
The brand name and logo have now changed, and the Y-buckle design is no longer in production, so this is a valuable vintage piece that allows you to enjoy both the world view of the old logo and the presence of this iconic bag all at once.
In terms of styling, adding it casually to a neat outfit consisting of a long coat or a simple knit and slacks will add a subtle impact while still fitting in with business settings. When paired with a genderless style consisting of a clean shirt, tailored jacket and relaxed bottoms, the soft luster of the leather and the shine of the Y-shaped metal fittings will elevate the whole look into a more mature and fashionable style.
Please take this opportunity.
