Released in 2016, the YSL Sunset bag is one of the most beautiful bags designed by Saint Laurent. Featuring a flap with the standard interlaced YSL initials on the front in metal hardware, and a leather encased keyring on the side, the Sunset bag has an extremely sleek and elegant feel to it.
The Sunset bag has a chain and leather shoulder strap which is adjustable, thus allowing it to be worn in multiple ways – as a long shoulder bag, a crossbody bag, or doubled up as a shorter handbag.
The majority of the Sunset bags are made out of calfskin leather, which makes it very durable. Carriers of the YSL Sunset have confirmed this high durability with no visible scratches after several months of use.
Another plus point of the YSL Sunset bag is the fact that it is pretty spacey, and this is due to the gussets at the side which also add a nice touch to the overall design of the bag. It is worth keeping in mind, however, that the larger size of the bag can get pretty heavy due to the chain strap and the amount of items that the bag can hold – but that really depends on what you plan on carrying.
The bag is closed via a magnetic snap on the flap, and on the inside, it is made up of two compartments – one open central pocket and a smaller slot pocket at the front. There is also an external slot pocket at the back of the bag, on the outside.
