Saint Laurent’s latest shopper is both well-timed and aptly named. The YSL Icare Maxi Shopping Bag was launched in March 2022, just in time for the first Spring / Summer season in two years where our days have finally gone back to, an albeit new, normal.
Made of quilted lambskin leather, the Icare bag has one main compartment and comes with a removable zipped pouch. The front is decorated with the standard YSL interlaced logo which comes in bronze-toned metal hardware.
Size-wise, it is bigger than the also popular YSL Rive Gauche Tote and measures at 58 cm x 43 cm x 8 cm. Due to its more flexible material, it can be transformed into a narrower bag (38 cm) by closing in its sides, thanks to a detachable metal chain toggle closure.
The Icare bag is currently only available in black, though Saint Laurent are likely to add more colours (and potentially sizes) as this new model becomes more popular. It has already been spotted on a number of trend setting celebrities and influencers, including Hailey Bieber and Saint Laurent ambassador Zoe Kravitz.
