Saint Laurent YSL Cassandra Bag

The YSL Cassandra Top Handle Bag is the perfect mix of classic Saint Laurent elegance and everyday versatility. Launched in 2020, it is a sleek, structured bag that feels both timeless and modern—an easy favourite for anyone who loves understated luxury.

Design

The Cassandra is a top handle bag that boasts a structured silhouette, complemented by four metal feet that provide stability and protection. Its standout feature is the iconic YSL logo, ingeniously integrated into the bag’s closure mechanism. By twisting the ‘L’, the flap unlocks, showcasing the brand’s innovative design approach. The bag also comes with a detachable and adjustable shoulder strap, allowing it to also be worn crossbody, catering to various styling preferences.

Materials and Finishes

Crafted from high-quality calfskin leather, the Cassandra is available in multiple finishes, including smooth, grained, and crocodile-embossed textures. While the smooth leather exudes a sleek appearance, the grained and crocodile-embossed versions offer enhanced durability, making them more resistant to scratches and daily wear. That said, the smooth leather of the Cassandara seems to be more durable than the soft leather on some other YSL bags in general, including the YSL LouLou and the YSL Collège.
