Launched in May 2020, the YSL Kaia bag was a runaway from the start. Named after the famous daughter of Cindy Crawford, Kaia Gerber, the superstar model has been pictured wearing her famous namesake on many occasions.

The YSL Kaia is a classic satchel bag designed with a softly rounded silhouette, and if you like a structured bag, then the YSL Kaia is perfect.  It is a bag for everyday use and allows you to carry all your essentials from mobile phones to lipsticks and wallets.

The satchel bag comes with an adjustable and detachable strap, which can either be worn across the body or remove the strap to use the bag as a clutch bag, making it a very versatile and essential bag to have in your collection.

The Saint Laurent Kaia bag is made from 100% calfskin leather which gives it the luxurious soft look and has a magnetic snap closure, featuring the metal YSL interlaced logo in a bronzed tone.

The interior of the bag has a suede lining and boasts one main compartment, a flat pocket and a flat dossier pocket so you can keep your cards and smaller items separate. The bag has no exterior pockets.

The YSL Kaia calfskin leather satchel comes in a great choice of colours, from navy, black, milk, green, and red, to name but a few. Other materials and patterns include perforated leather, python, cotton canvas with vintage leather and even shiny crocodile-embossed leather.

YSL Kaia Sizes

The YSL Kaia bag comes in three sizes, baby, small and medium.

Kaia Small18 cm x 15.5 cm x 5.5 cm 54cm
Kaia Medium   22cm x 18.5cm x 7.5cm52 cm

The baby size is more of a coin purse rather than an actual bag and comes with a link chain strap, as opposed to a leather strap. It also only has one main compartment with a flap pocket.

The price of the YSL Kaia bag ranges from €495 – €1,890 / $675 – $2,390 depending on the size and material chosen.

Kaia North South Satchel

If you prefer a less traditional satchel shape, Saint Laurent have also designed a variant of the Kaia bag called the North/South. This comes in a vertical rectangular silhouette and carries the same features as the rounded version.
